I simply use my Real Techniques blush brush to apply gently sweeping it along the cheeks and blending out towards the hairline to create a soft, contoured look.
The matte finish is perfect for sculpting the face as it doesn't contain any shimmers - it provides a smooth, natural look.
It instantly defines and gives a beautiful, natural effect without the need for any contouring techniques or time spent applying a variety of products and corresponding brushes - with 'Harmony', you can achieve that sculpted appearance quickly and easily with just one product and a blush brush.
It is described on the Mac website as a 'muted rose-beige brown' and I would agree with that - it does have a certain 'hint' of rose in there - although it definitely is more toned down and extremely subtle.Īll you need is a quick sweep and you're done in a swish (yes, I just said 'sweep' and 'swish' in the same uldn't resist!). I can only describe it as a mid-way between a bronzer and a blush - it definitely leans towards a bronzer, but the slight pink/red tones in it takes away any orangeness and provides it with a certain warmth that looks really natural when applied. Although it may not look much in the pan, it's one of the most multi-functional, easy to use cheek products I've used and it makes creating a subtle contoured look simple, easy and quick to achieve. Mac's 'Harmony' blush is just the product I was looking for. However, contouring every single day can be a bit of a faff - especially when you need to get out of the house pretty sharpishly! I really wanted something that made defining the cheekbones quick and easy for those days where you don't want to spend a great deal of time doing your make-up.
I feel somewhat un-finished without a quick sweep of highlighting powder and a touch of bronzing powder along my cheekbones. If you've been reading my blog for a while, you will know that I am just a little obsessed with contouring and the whole 'sculpted' look.
