Velvetella Cremestick liner - Works best on my lips. I line with this and sheer it out somewhat and apply a sheer amount of Hollywood Nights and finish with Style Minx. My lips look sooo gorgeous.

2nd choice is Vino Lip Pencil. I apply the same as above.

I, also, tried mahogany and chestnut lipliners. They did not give me the same look.

I know what you mean about SM and HN making you look like a street walker. I went Saturday to the local MAC counter for a demo and she did not apply any lip-liner on my lips before applying SM and HN and when I looked in the mirror, I almost screamed. What a ghastly sight! She had applied both products to the very edge of my lips and they looked twice their size and made me look like I should go home and put on some Daisy-Dukes and 6” heels….LOL! I wiped it off, asked for velvetella cremestick and created perfection.

When applied properly, SM and HN are two gorgeous colors alone or together…..

I’m NW45 with large, pigmented top lip and pink lower lip.

Thankyou so much for posting this thread! I'm in Australia and I'm pretty sure Heatherette STILL hasn't been released yet so can't get in to a store and physically see or try on the range. This helps me heaps in knowing what to buy online

Thanks lsperry I'm a Nc50 and I bought hn and sm because I have seen many women of color wear it and look beautiful. I guess i just needed some tips on how to allpy it. I know it will look great if I can get the technique down. Besides I need some color in my life!

Are any ladies NC45 or darker using Alpha Girl beauty powder?

Yes; as an undereye highlighter, soft brow-bone highlight and if I've used a heavy-hand with a pigmented blush. It is too light for my NW45 skin to use as an all-over face powder; I use Smooth Harmony for this. It reminds of Hullabaloo highlight powder; but slightly darker.

Thank you. I wanted to know how it would look as a cheek highlight, or perhaps on top of a blush. From what you've said I think it would work.

I got Lollipop Lovin, Sock Hop (love this combo) and Alpha girl B/P. Alpha girl has become my everyday highlighter, I just looooove it. Looks kinda peachy on my cheeks. I'm NC35 btw...
