Picture it: another dimension beyond ? our own, where brownie calories don’t count.
Actually brownie, ice cream, cake, doughnut and pie calories… and doughnuts.

Did I mention the doughnuts?

But, sadly, this is not that dimension… In this dimension, brownie calories do count (boo!); however, for what it’s worth, there is an extra dimension of new blushes and highlighters open ideal now at MAC (yay!).

Extra Dimension: MAC’s preternatural powder formula
The blushes and highlighters come in MAC’s fan-freaking-tastic extra dimension formula, and can I just say that I’m incredibly stoked about that?! ever considering that the extra dimensions showed up as blushes, eyeshadows, highlighters and bronzers in limited edition collections a few years back — Gosh, remember Alluring Aquatic? I nearly lost my damn mind. — I’ve been in love with the formula. The extra dimensions are among my favorite things in the entire history of the MAC line, ever.
They feel and look a little like the NARS dual intensity Blushes, where the powder looks very dense — nearly hard-packed — but they feel softer than a cherry blossom petal. and when you run a finger across a pan, you pick up a lot of product.

Wonderful wear time
I love them for so lots of reasons, including how soft they feel, but they’re also exceptionally long lasting. When I apply a little on my cheeks in the morning, I know I’ll still be wearing blush at the end of the day.

Powerfully pigmented
And the pigments are perfectly potent, but not excessively so. I can apply one layer of either the blushes or Skinfinish highlighters, and easily buff out the edges with a finger, which is, you know, generally a lazy makeup girl’s dream scenario.

Soft-focus sheen
Let’s get real, though — these are all about the sheen. THE SHEEN. Both the blushes and highlighters create a soft, opalescent glow that isn’t incredibly frosty, so they don’t emphasize mah pores!
Also, with the blushes, it’s nearly like you’re getting a blush and a highlighter in the same pan.

Petite powder particles that hug the skin
Gotta give a shout-out to how natural these look. I dunno…but one of my issues with the MAC Mineralize Skinfinishes and Mineralize Skinfinish Blushes, which are, I would say, closely related to the extra dimensions in terms of pigment, shine and wear time, is how big the MSF particles are. I can see them sitting on my skin, but I can’t see the extra dimension particles.

Similar to pricier products at Hourglass
The blushes remind me of the hourglass Ambient Blushes (which I adore!), and the Skinfinishes remind me of the hourglass Ambient Strobe Powders. They have a similarly soft, pearly sheen that doesn’t look harsh.
