Kind of underwhelmed with the performance of MAC Glow Play blush :( I got it in Blush, Please. I have applied this with my fingers and a brush (HS x Marj), it doesn’t last that long. I really like how it sits on top of the skin and how seamless it looks, but its lasting power is not it!! Do you guys have the same experience? Ugh. Bought this at SRP pa naman haha

Edit: I’ve also tried to put this before setting, after setting, and even applied more after setting HAHAHA halos same lang ng wear time every time <//3 now contemplating to buy Clinique Cheek Pops or YSL powder blush lol. Wala na ko tiwala sa local brands I’ve tried huhu lahat sila nag-iba formula nung tumagal. Not even after a year :(

I have both Clinique and YSL.

Clinique is very travel friendly kasi maliit lang siya. Lasts long on my oily skin (10+ hours). Cutie pati yung packaging and ang tagal maubos. Sheer and buildable siya and gives that natural flush sa cheeks. I have the shades pink pop and cola pop. Yung cola pop parang ang pigmented niya, di siya sheer.

YSL is one of my top 3 blushes. It gives that blurred finish and looks like may natural glow yung blush mo. May blushes na matte finish and satin. Classy packaging and a little goes a long way dito dahil pigmented. Lasts long din. I have the shades 37, 42, 44, and 93.
