MAC HARMONY: Best Contour for Fair Skin!



I purchased Harmony because I read that it made for a great contour on fair skin. I must say that it is very different using a blush to contour, but it gave me awesome results!

Harmony is a very pigmented rosy brownish color, as you can see in the swatches below. There are absolutely no orange tones in this blush which is why it is great for ladies with fair skin. I used a VERY light hand, and it gave the most beautiful subtle contour. Before trying Harmony, I would use Benefit’s Hoola to contour. The texture of Hoola and Harmony is quite different. They are both matte but Harmony was more finely milled and less powdery. Typically a bronzer will be a bit more powdery than blush, so that was to be expected. You just have to change your technique when applying it. I used very little product on a MAC 109 and took my time blending.



A couple negatives: I don’t think it would be good for overall bronzing, and I will continue to use my beloved Hoola for that. Also, the rosy color may make certain blushes look strange when paired with it.

To be honest I don’t think contouring is practical for everyday, but it’s great for special occasions or going out on the weekends. If you are in the market for a great matte contour color I would definitely recommend Harmony.



On a side note, I would like to tell all the fair/light skinned ladies out there that I would NOT recommend Tarte’s Park Avenue Princess Matte Bronzer shown in the swatches below. It shows up INCREDIBLY orangey on my fair skin… but that’s just my opinion 🙂

    Would you use same color to contour face and as blush ? Or would it all blend together ?
