MAC Look Don't Touch! Extra Dimension Blush Review & Swatches

Look Don't Touch

MAC Look Don’t Touch Extra Dimension Blush ($31.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a medium pink with moderate, warm undertones and a soft sheen. It was less shimmery compared to most of the shades in this formula, though it still had a glowing finish that was noticeable but didn’t emphasize my skin’s natural texture.

It had nearly opaque pigmentation that was easily built up to full coverage if desired. The texture was smooth to the touch, dense (so not at all powdery) but not stiff to work with, so it picked up well with a dry brush and blended out with ease. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

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.
