In my post about the new Sleek Makeup Shimmer Blushes, I compared the shimmer blush in Sunrise to MAC Sweet as Cocoa & Ambering Rose blushes. I also said that I would do a swatch test so here goes…
Sweet As Cocoa, Ambering Rose, Sunrise
As I thought, all three blushes are very similar but not dupes for one another. Sweet As Cocoa has the least amount of red undertones and apparent shimmer, while Ambering Rose has more of a orange red undertone rather then the brick red undertones of Sunrise.
All three blushes are highly pigmented beautiful shades, and I am glad to have all of them in my collection. Do you own any of these blushes?

I am wearing Sleek Sunrise today and it is very pretty. I love MAC Ambering Rose as you can clearly see lol. It was the start of my Blush Addiction, my first blush ever!
sweet as cocoa is a brown girl staple, ambering rose is love and i don’t own any sleek blush.. but that will have to change soon! 😉
Love Sweet as Cocoa and Ambering Rose… I feel both are brown girl’s staples and yes, you need some Sleek Blush in your life girl! lol
Hmm…as much as I love MAC, I am not so much of a blusher person, hence I don’t have too many MAC blushers. Gotta check these out the next time I ma at MAC. Thanks for doing the swatches and comparison.
No problem 🙂
They all look lovely and wud look great on your skin tone. I wish I cud wear blush with re undertones, they are so rich and full of colour to me. I can barely get blush to show up on me at all. Any suggestions?

I think Sweet as Cocoa and Sunrise would look great on you, but Ambering Rose is a bit too red. It may work if applied lightly. Pinks and Corals would look great on you. Try Milani Mai Tai and Mark After Glo.
I love everything!!!! Great blog! Pink
never been a blush person but I’m going to try the NYX in cocoa !! its great that u have this website for the chocolate sistas-inspired me to try different color options!!
I’m glad you’re finding my site useful. I’m not sure if NYX still make Cocoa as I haven’t been able to find it for a few years!
