it looks like adored would be the most natural looking one if your skin leans olive like me becasue of those yellow tones!
Yes, I'm definitely olive with yellow undertones. No pink here.

EDIT: SHE SAID THAT EACH MSF IS BUILT UP BY 2 SWIPES AND ADORED TOOK 3/4 SWIPES TO BUILD UP HOPE THAT HELPS
See I like MSFs more for blushes then highlights. I'm nc30/35... I'm not feeling adored...rio and lust look awesome...sweet samba and simmer also look quite lovely... I'm not feeling exotic ember at all... And midnight mambo is gorgeeee....another purple but I like the mineralized lippies

I was told by one of the MUA in the Nasville Pro store that Lust would look great on WOC used as a blush...hmmm...what do you ladies think?? Most def Rio as a highlight though!

Oh my! Love the MSFs. They all have to be mineee. Yikes. Exotic Ember looks scarily dark for me. I want one with not too much brown...Simmer is so pretty! Thanks for the swatches janette9687!

It looks pretty much like Petticoat and that one is definitely blush material for WOC.

These swatches do also confirm my decision to skip the MBs.
Without flash they do all look too brown for my liking.

Once seeing those blush swatches, they are off my list too! In the picture without the flash, they look muddy. The MSFs look pretty. I am an NC37. I am thinking of getting Rio. Lust looks pretty too.


As far as using an MSF as a blush, wouldn't that make the cheeks look like disco balls?

Gosh darn it... I think I need all the MSF's. Definitely at least Rio and Adored. I wish Simmer and Sweet Samba didn't look so muddy... I love how they look with the flash, but not without :/

If that's how Rio looks on NC20 skin, it might be too light and frosty for NC50.

However, Sweet Samba is back on my list!

Rio looks really pretty, but if there is a ton of sparkles in that one, then I'll just go for Lust and the 159. This is going to be a very small haul.
