More Melba!

The word is out and the reviews are in… MAC Cosmetics Melba blush is quickly becoming one of the most popular blush colors on the market today. The peach/apricot flesh tone blush is gaining more fans by the day due to its warm complexion and versatility. Whether you need a soft undertone for work or a warm pink/peach color for an evening out, the MAC Melba blush works great on all types of skin tones from dark to fair and creates a nice healthy color. At The Beauty Bar we are always keeping an eye out for popular trends in cosmetics and hairstyles and right now MAC Melba has our full attention.

MAC Melba is considered a ‘dirty peach blush’ in that it leans more towards brown than pink. When applying Melba color blush do so sparingly since using too much can lead to a caked-on look that can cause a very artificial pink tone that won’t be at all appealing. When used in moderation the result should be a warm peach color with a hint of orange and brown. Named for the tasty Peach Melba dessert, the MAC Melba blush is just as sweet and will have you and your friends craving more.

MAC Melba blush is a permanent shade with a matte finish. The soft coral peach color is ideal for warmer and cooler skin tones since it’s a peach color without a lot of yellow. Smooth and pigmented, Melba blush is not chalky and when applied properly will give your cheeks a soft and natural look. If the allure of peach melba strikes your fancy make an appointment today with the makeup artists at The Beauty Bar and see what a little Melba can do for you.
