M.A.C describe this blush as a 'muted beige/ coral'. I have to say this description is spot on, this is a beautiful blusher, although it could easily be mistaken for a bronzer for paler skin. I keep this in the same container as my M.A.C Harmony blusher, which I use as my contour powder. I cannot even tell you how many times I have picked up Harmony, thinking that it was this, they really look very similar in the pot! However on the skin it comes up a lot more, coral/ orange than harmony and is a beautiful Spring color.

Sincere swatched |
As you can see from the swatch it is quite a light color and probably wouldn't show up on darker since tones. I am an NC15 in M.A.C/ Warm Ivory in Bobbi Brown. The NC15 can be slightly too dark for my skin tone in the winter, but is perfect in the summer, whereas the Bobbi Brown color is perfect for me in the winter. From this you can tell I am really quite pale, but this blusher really compliments my skin tone and gives me a natural look. You can build the color up really easily if you want a slightly warmer look, but equally a really light brushing of it looks beautiful.
So having mentioned its very similar to Harmony, do you need both I hear you ask? Well I think Sincere would be too orangey to be a contour color, whereas Harmony is as M.A.C describe a 'Muted rose-beige brown' and the brown element of it makes it an ideal contour color (for me anyway). I personally would only use Sincere as a blush, so I am really glad I have both. Neither blush have any shimmer in them, which I love. Don't get me wrong I love shimmer, but not so much in blushers!
In the UK this blush retails at £17.50 or £14.50 for the pro palette refill pan.
I would really love to know what you think, especially if you have a darker skin tone and have tried either of these blushers!!
