It also looks "light" on my skin The ones I have now: Sunny By Nature- MY LOVE Brunette MSF- very pretty as blush So Ceylon- pretty, but I have a cheaper dupe so contemplating selling it... still very everyday wearable Stereo Rose- pretty.. esp with Fix Plus /Water and over Ambering Rose/Peach blushes By Candlelight- looks nice, but it seems too frosty on the skin as well, not sure how to use it Perfect Topping- Looks nice over Vintage Grape blush Ombre, maybe I can achieve it with some other highlighter as well Warmed- a great skin "warming" MSF for WOC.. but a bit onthe gold side Metal Rock- awesomes personified for WOC. Its a crime MAC isnt re releasing it and making truck loads of it so that all of us can experience it. Petticoat- I always wanna swap this awa cos its metallicy, but when I wear it, so pretty! The only other MSF i wanna get is Comfort...

I just have Warm Blend. Not getting another one until Metal Rock returns, if ever. My CCO has a slew of them but nope. On strike till Metal Rock returns. I really love Deep Dark MSF natural.

sss215,

Too bad about your msf strike. IMHO you are missing out on Gold Deposit and Comfort.

Those are two of the loveliest msfs ever!

I just tried out the Mineralized Foundation SPF 15 and it broke me out really bad. Clinique and Bare Minerals are the only brand that haven't broken me out thus far so I wasn't too surprised. But, I'm wondering if I will be able to use the MSF or if they will also cause a reaction?

Stereo Rose-Pretty over more orange/coral blushes

Thanks for this! It's helps to know how to use them. I

I recently picked up some MSF's. So Ceylon, Cheeky Bronze & Sunny By Nature... So Ceylon and Sunny By Nature I absolutely love. I feel like Cheeky Bronze may be a little too glittery.

Let's see currently my MSF collection stands at:
Sunny By Nature
So Ceylon
Comfort
Brunette
Stereo Rose
Metal Rock
Gold Deposit
Warm Blend

Helloooo ladies. i can't believe it's taken me so long to find this forum.
anyway, adding onto this... i wasn't into MSFs until I got the 3 I purchased. Smooth Merge, Refined, and Brunette. I was lucky enough to also find a BNIB Stereo Rose which is coming in the mail. I keep on reading so much hype about it.
I wasn't even that much into MSFs until I tried brunette, and I heard angels sing. I hear lightscapade is getting re-released in the cindy sherman collection. anyone know how it looks on NC42 skin?

 

[afulton]

That's a really good question. I reviewed all the comments on this thread and Lightscapade is rarely mentioned. It must not have been complimentary to WOC. The hype is so huge that I probably would check it out when it is repromoted in September. At the very least, it could work as a highlighter.

I was thinking of it as a highlighter as well, although it has blue veining in it so i'm not sure how it would work for WOC. My only highlighter right now is refined, and works perfectly for an every day look, but i want to try something else for night time.

 

[BeautyByLele]

Yes good question . . . I wonder if this will be WOC friendly??? I guess we'll see

I was already into MAC when Lightscapade was originally released with the Danse collection. I skipped it (but got Glissade). I really is too light for most WOC I believe. It is much better suited for our pale friends. I doubt that anyone NC/NW 40 and darker can make that work as anything but an eye shadow. Sorry to rain on anyone's parade.

I have to agree here. I'm an NC45/50 and it was just too silvery for my taste. Made me look a little dead if you know what I mean.

Out of all the MSFs I've owned, I still have:
Pleasureflush
Metal Rock
Stereo Rose
So Ceylon
Brunette
Glissade

Oddly, I reach for Glissade the most even though Brunette is hands down my all time fav MSF.

 

[DJ_Roxas]

I have a question, I'm a NC50 and I wanted to know if MSF in Warm Soul would look ashy on a NC50, because I hear a lot of gurus rave about that one.

I just got brunette the other day and I already started searching for a backup or two, because I find myself reaching for it each and every day! far more than my own blush palettes. it's so gorgeous. is glissade glittery at all?

Yes. It is glittery but I think I just got a "good" one, ya know? I had one and swapped it because all I would pick up on the brush was glitter. Then I bumped my head and decided to try it again and this one has way less glitter and more color. It really goes well with both pink and coral blushes.

If they can bring back Lightscapade after all of these years...MAC betta bring back METAL ROCK!!! lol!

 

[afulton]

Amen!!

[DILLIGAF]

Well at this rate they seem to be re-releasing one old MSF each year. Last year was Stereo Rose, this year its Lightscapade. Maybe next year it will be Metal Rock?! *crosses fingers*

 

[Prototype83]

You know...you're absolutely right! Here's to 2012 being the year for Metal Rock!

[ARmakeupjunkie]

I hope you guys are right about Metal Rock but, there is still a part of my that thinks they will never rerelease it.
