MAC Antonio Lopez Face/Pink, Face/Coral

I was able to try the new MAC Antonio Lopez Face/Pink and Face/Coral palettes. They're basically a trio of highlighter, blush and bronzer in a compact. The bronzer is tucked underneath the blush and illuminizer, and you need to slight the panel to the right to access the bronzer. The packaging is obviously reminiscent of some of MAC's holiday palette packaging.
We are also quite familiar with some of these products as some are repromoted products.
Let's start with the MAC Antonio Lopez: Face/Pink:

MAC Peaceful beauty powder, Belightful iridescent powder, Pure Femininity blush
This is your classic pink blush and bronzer + highlighter palette. The mid-tone blue pink blush is a satin powder blush called Pure Femininity. The light bronze with golden shimmer powder that can be used as a highlighter is called Belightful. The bronzer which is a midtone peach is Peaceful beauty powder.
I like the combination of shades and textures of this palette, although I think the bronzer is a little bit too light for medium to tan/deeper complexions. The blush is also your usual midtone pink, nice color, but not really very unique.
MAC Antonio/Lopez Face/Coral
L-R: MAC Smooth Harmony beauty powder, Star! iridescent powder, Passion for Colour powder blush
Swatches:
I am liking this palette better than the Face/Pink. Face/Coral has a medium golden bronzer called Smooth Harmony that works better with more skintones compared to Peaceful from Face/Pink. Star! is a peachy golden iridescent powder with pink and yellow pearl. Finally, Passion for Colour is a mid-tone coral satin powder blush. I like the coral blush as it really looks quite pretty and is a great color for most skintones.
All in all, I am obviously leaning towards Face/Coral as it is much more versatile than Face/Pink. This palette is a good travel companion as you already have all three cheek and face essentials in one compact: a highlighter, bronzer and blush.
This palette retails for $46 US/ $55 CDN. If you have a massive makeup collection, you probably don't need either because none of these are really unique shades for a makeup collector, but if you are starting a makeup kit, these are classic colors and staples that you can look into.
The Shades Of U Rating: 4.0 out of 5
