Absolutely right Mac-Guy! I finally got around to using my 215 and I LOVE it. It is NOT scratchy! I used it to apply my favorite MAC Pigment, Aurora and it was awesome. I am so not a PRO but I sure felt accomplished when I saw how nicely the pigment applied with this brush.
I will def try NYX Taupe. Thanks for the suggestion!
Was it available for store pickup? Next time, you can do that b/c they usually process it same day. I'm not sure how long they hold it for, though. I've picked it up like a week after it was ready before, haha.i ordered spot lit on wednesday and my nordstrom order is still in process. i get it the shipping is free but i hate how slow it is. i should have gone to the store but this week was not a good one for me.
no they didnt have it for these. the thing is that now i kind of like ordering online cause no one at home sees what i ordered. if i go to the store, someone always sticks to me, like if its a field trip. they always tell me how i dont need something, or that i have similar products or colors. then i get back home i regret not getting something!!!
I have been wanting to get into Illamasqua so I will check into that...TY! And I am guessing no concerns about baby poo green tone?I'm skipping theese scupting creams just becaus I think I have enough countoring products.. but I would love to try them in the future if thy are permanent..
Speaking of contour products I would recommend Illamasqua Hollow cream pigment to anyone with light NW or NC complctions. I think it would look better on NW, but works for NC too, but it won't work on anyone darker as it will be too light. It doesn't work for me when I'm tanned.
I sometimes use darker foundation for contouring as well, so yeah, enough contouring products at the minute.. I'd rather spend my money on Holiday Collection
And as far as highlighting goes, I usually use white foundation lol
Oh no, no green tones there, it's more of a taupey brown
I swatched it for you lol sorry I just like swatching. I think I need to create a blog lol
I think these are the best colors for you. Let us know how you like them
Haha, yes. I like online shopping for the same reason! Plus, I'm usually the only home when the packages arrive, so it makes for easing box disposal. It's kinda sad though, that whenever my BF gets home and sees me doing my makeup, he always asks "Playing with new makeup?". Haha, while that's true most of the time, sometimes I'm actually just getting ready for the night!no they didnt have it for these. the thing is that now i kind of like ordering online cause no one at home sees what i ordered. if i go to the store, someone always sticks to me, like if its a field trip. they always tell me how i dont need something, or that i have similar products or colors. then i get back home i regret not getting something!!!
Yaya I'm pretty excited about them! I didn't think to expedite the shipping though, so my black box snail its way to my doorstep!I think these are the best colors for you. Let us know how you like them
how would you compare Coffee walnut to Illamasqua's hollow? I like this cream pigment!!Oh no, no green tones there, it's more of a taupey brown
the bottom pic is just to compare the size with a blush, cream pigments are smaller and are matte finish as seen on the swatch
I can only judge from the swatches as I don't have that one
