This blush is definitely 'natural'. A perfectly light and easy to wear blush, Fresh Honey is a warm apricot. I would say the finish it gives is satin - almost matte - and very glowy and natural. What I love about this shade is that it is pigmented and buildable (reminding me a lot of my Tarte Amazonian Clay Blushes in pigmentation.)
Generally, Mineralized Blushes by MAC are shimmery and hard to wear for me - more along the lines of a MSF than a regular blush. As you know, my oily-combo skin creates enough shine of its own, so I don't like adding unnecessary shine to my face when I don't need to.
The blush itself is 3.2g or 0.10oz (made in Italy). I personally like to apply this blush with either my Ecotools Blush Brush from the apples of my cheeks and working upwards towards my temples. It is a very natural colour that compliments my yellow/gold undertones nicely. I'm just a little sad that I didn't pick up Subtle Breeze which is a warm pink. However, Fresh Honey and Early Morning (a burnt coral) are probably the most unique. I am extremely happy with this shade though and have been wearing it almost every day for the past 2 weeks.

The swatch above was done in natural lighting and is medium-to-heavy. I took a finger, rubbed it around a bit, then swatches what I needed in a few swipes. I would definitely go easy on first application as they are surprisingly pigmented. It wears for about 5 - 7 hours depending on how oily my face is, but would probably last longer on dry to normal skin types. I'd highly recommend this if you are on the hunt for a new neutral and natural blush. I am in love. Great colour, Amazing quality. This is a hit!
Did you pick up anything from the Naturally Collection? If not, what's your favourite 'natural' blush?
