Beauty Care: MAC Dilly-Dolly Extra Dimension Blush Review & Swatches

Dilly-Dolly

MAC Dilly-Dolly Extra Dimension Blush ($31.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a very light pink with cooler undertones as the base color with contrasting, warmer gold pearl that gave it a luminous sheen.

The texture was smooth to the touch, moderately dense but not stiff to work with, and blended out effortlessly on my skin. The finish was luminous but wasn’t prone to emphasizing skin texture. It had semi-opaque, buildable color coverage that lasted nicely for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview

$31.00/0.14 oz. - $221.43 Per Ounce

The Extra Dimension Blush formula is supposed to have “long-wearing colour with prismatic reflections” that wears for “10 hours.” The formula is typically very pigmented with a soft, smooth texture that’s firmer in the pan but not difficult to use–I had no issues grabbing color with even my softest brushes–and has no dustiness or powderiness in the pan. The blushes are usually blendable with a luminous glow on the cheeks that did not emphasize my skin’s natural texture. With MAC’s newly-added permanent shades, the wear time has ranged from eight to ten hours.
