Maybe some of you all who are really familar with the Pro Products can help me out with this one:
I am NW45, I like brighter blushes (like Frankly Scarlet or NARS' Exhibit -A) and I am wondering which of of the Pro Blushes (including the new ones) would work with my complexion? Are the blushes so bright that you can't wear them during the day?

**Also, I tried to ask these questions in a Live MAC Chat, but they couldn't answer questions regarding the Pro Products. Do you think someone could answer my questions if I called a Pro Store or would that be too weird and inconvienent? TIA!

I just rec'd my Azalea and Devil. I guess my others are following in the mail. Here are photos of those two.

On NW25

Devil is not as bright as Exhibit A. It is also more brown-based than Exhibit A. Whilst Azalea is the brightest blush that I have ever seen, it goes on surprisingly sheer.

With both of these, the lightness of hand whilst applying will really determine if you can wear them during the day (talking office environment here).

As an NW45, you could definitely rock Devil during the day. Azalea, would be a bit trickier due to the brightness, but the sheerness plays into it as well. Did that help at all, hon?

On another note, I am going to try mixing Azalea with white lipmix to see if I can get anything close to Heatherette LS.

P.S. Mzcelaneous - No laughing at my crappy photos!

OK-Part II

I am a little happier with the quality of these pics, although they kinda fail to show the diff between Exhibit A and Devil. I just can't win with my camera!

I will photog Devil between Exhibit A and Taj Mahal for you in a bit

So I am assuming Azalea would be a bit much for NW15 for daily wear? It looks so bright, but I bet it would make a beautiful eyeshadow!

It might be a bit much as a blush.

But.....it would look pretty with a light hand and then buffing over it with the msf natural in light (considering you're an NW15), I'll bet. That is if you had to make it work in a pinch.

That is one of my tricks for toning down a blush or making it really look like a natural flush.

And oh yes...I will be rocking that as an eyeshadow. That is the first thing I thought when I saw it. Eye safe or not.

Which ones did you get?

I keep hearing about Cantalope blush but there are no swatches of it anywhere. Does anyone have it yet? Might they be able to take a picture of it or describe it? Is it anything like any other colors? DH is going to the Vegas PRO store next week and I am not sure if I should put it on my list or not. I am NW15 if that matters...
