MAC Blushes revisited: Mocha.

this is MAC Mocha Blush. it's from the permanent range and a Matte finish blusher.

MAC blushes come in this simple container and contains 6g. they retail for 22€ (in germany) /17£/19.50$ but are also available as refill pan for 18€ (in germany) /14£/16.50$.

Mocha seems like a boring dusty/muted rose in the pan, but it applies as a great natural flush on the skin. a colour that goes with everything and enlivens your cheeks with a subtle definition and contour.
i don't like MAC's Matte texture at all, it feels quite firmly pressed and chalky to the touch. but in this case, the sheerness and rather low colour pay-off of the product comes to its benefit and you'll get a nice and sheer wash of autumnal rosy flush. with a goat hair brush it's easy to blend and achieve an even result.
Mocha is a great go-to colour for whenever i can't decide what blush to combine but still don't want to disclaim a little bit of colour. however i wish for the same colour but with a silkier texture but still haven't found a better dupe for it. can you recommend one? so i can finally toss out this last Matte annoyance ;)
