Beauty Care: MAC Under My Plum Extra Dimension Blush Review & Swatches

Under My Plum

MAC Under My Plum Extra Dimension Blush ($31.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a medium-dark plum with subtle, warm reddish undertones and a luminous sheen. It had nearly opaque color coverage in a single layer, which could be built up to full coverage with a little more on top.

The texture felt soft, smooth, and moderately dense but not thick or stiff to work with, which allowed me to pick up product readily but not get any powderiness or excess product in the pan. The blush applied evenly to bare skin and diffused well along the edges. It lasted well for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

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.
