I'm about NC22 with strong warm undertones (nothing neutral going on here). I have auburn hair and brown eyes.
I only have three MSF, all purchased since HC:
Light Year
Stereo Rose
Redhead
I did have Star Wonder but I gave it to my daughter because it was just too frosty a cool for me. While there's enough colour in the last two to make them a blush for me, the sheen in them prevents me from using them this way. They're strictly hightlights, but I love them. I'm new to mineralize products; until this summer I thought they triggered acne in me. The only other product I had was a MSFN and that definitely broke me out. I don't know whether the product itself was contaminated or whether there's something different about that formula, because the MSF/MBs I have aren't a problem at all.
Redhead just arrived today (courtesy of Jasmin) and I love it! I'm a new convert to highlighters because I don't generally like sheen/glitter. I don't know whether I'm just getting used to it or whether my application is improving, but I'm really starting to like the look of highlighter. I also just fell in love with my previously ignored Albatross (part of the Nordie's Joie de Vivre palette).
I don't think I need many more of this kind of product because I use so light a hand that they'll last forever and small differences between shades won't show as much. That doesn't mean I won't fall in love with another this year though. I can see why people look so forward to these collections; I wish I'd found MSF when I was 20 and my skin was near flawless.
I also have a few MB:
Warm Soul (my staple last summer)
Fresh Honey (a surprise love that's very natural looking on me)
Early Morning
Amber Glow (I consider this a highlighter because of the sheen).
I only have one MES (Magnetic Attraction) and I won't buy another. I don't like them.
For me:
MSF=MB>MES
