MAC HD Cherry Tree Glow Play Blush ($30.00 for 0.25 oz.) is a brighter, medium-dark pink with a hint of warm paired with a satin finish. It had semi-sheer, buildable pigmentation (up to semi-opaque) that applied evenly over bare skin and wasn’t prone to lifting up base products. The texture was smooth to the touch, like a cream-powder hybrid that was slightly putty-like as it could be depressed but didn’t feel wet to the touch. It wore well for eight hours before fading noticeably on my skin.

Formula Overview
$30.00/0.25 oz. – $120.00 Per Ounce
The new, limited edition formula is supposed to have “eight-hour, fade-free wear” with an “ultra-blendable” formula that has “sheer” but buildable coverage with a “gel-cream texture” that is “bouncy.” It’s gel-to-powder blush that has a lightly emollient, slightly sponge-like quality to it–more like a smoother, more emollient clay-like texture to me–that feels more like powder as soon as it comes into contact with my skin.
The pigmentation was definitely more sheer to semi-sheer, buildable to medium to semi-opaque coverage with some of the deeper/darker hues in the range having more coverage and better building capabilities. I preferred using fingertips for application as I felt it was easier to faster to apply, though fingertips will yield slightly higher coverage compared to a brush. The formula applied well–most of the time–over bare skin as well as over base products like liquid foundation without lifting it up. They wore eight hours before starting to show signs of fading.
