Above: MAC Blush Duo in Amazon Princess
In my opinion, the blushes are the best items from the MAC Wonderwoman collection. In the initial release I picked up Emancipation lipglass and Mighty Aphrodite but I went back on a later date to pick up Amazon Princess. Mighty Aphrodite is a warm salmon pink and very pretty. In contrast, Amazon Princess is a cool bubble gum blue pink with a satin finish on the large side and a plum colour with golden shimmer on the small side. However, when swatched the plum side looks like a raspberry pink on my skin.
Amazon Princess is a little bit more shimmery than Mighty Aphrodite because of the chunkier flecks of gold shimmer on the plum/berry side. Amazon Princess is very pigmented and goes on darker than Mighty Aphrodite. I would need to practice using a much lighter hand than usual. With this colour, I would skip my usual gel or creme blush base and use the powder blush alone. With a light hand, I do get a pretty shade of pink on my cheeks.
I love pinks and I don’t own many blushes that are a true pink. I like the girly princessy cheeks I can achieve with Amazon Princess; however, I think this may be a bit too cool toned for my taste. I like Mighty Aphrodite better because I like warmer tones on my skin better and I think it is a more universally flattering shade.
