I couldn't help it and I caved in and ordered Adored. I've never had a MSF and I thought that was the safest bet for my pale skin. I still think Lust looks really beautiful too though.  Someone asked already and I don't think I've read an answer: how do we use the MSF? I really have no idea and I'm really looking forward to it! Thanks!!

I usually swing my blush brush in a semi circle from my temples down over my cheek above the bone where I usually use a highlighter. I apply dry to avoid fishcale metallic effects if necessary o blend & buff with my 180. I use a smash box blush brush that is angled but the 168 would be similar. HTH!

I would say Lust or Rio, Simmer, and Exotic Ember. If you are looking for a lipglass, Natcissus and Fever Isle look great on our skin tone. HTH.

I agree I got adored too along with rio. It actually is nice on WOC too. I'm going to wear it sometimes this week and post another pic besides my swatch pic

Thank you ever so much!!! I'm still not a blush pro and I feel I either put too much or not enough! It's hard as I'm fair (and untalented, lol) The only highlighters I have are the Touché Éclat which I use mostly on my forehead and bridge of nose and around lips. I was also given a sample of Lustre drops and I place them on the cheeks the best I can hehee

There may be better brush choices like the 159 but I am waiting on that to ship. Hopefully a Pro will chime in & give us better application technical tips.

Still working my way through these products. Today I wore Tropica eyeshadow for the first time. I really wanted to wear Time to Tango because I just love it but I need to try all the products. I like it but I still managed to pat a pinch of TTT on top for a little sparkle. Also used Simmer for the first time and Lust. I liked the look but I swirled in a bit more of the beige because I didn't want it to look to much like Ring of Saturn. Looked nice. Lips: Undressed l/g for first part of the day and then Soft Serenade lipglass - forgot to bring my Shore Leave liner with me though. I like it a bit more coral.

Today I wore Time To Tango with Orpheus to line and define. I was really impressed with the wear time. I got a good 7 hours before it started to fade and shed fall out without using a base, which is great for the glittery MES for me. Plus I applied it dry and didn't finish it with Fix+

! It still honestly looks pretty good even now. Used the small sized split fiber eye brush from Semi-Precious.

I finally broke out Adored for the cheeks - I got one with plenty of the coral, unlike the original test I'd used, plus I applied it with the 131, since it was right at hand, so it definitely gave more of a blush effect on me than before, but still only when the light hits just right. It's just fabulous.

I used Tangerine Dream on the lips, which at first I thought might not have been the best lippie choice for the look, but when it started to get dark, it looked perfect - I have to keep reminding myself the Tangerine Dream looks best on me at night!

I have a new, real-life makeup buddy and she's coming over tomorrow to play with my stash before we go do some July 4th BBQ + fireworks festivities. She's going to flip her lid for Adored and she's usually a matte face makeup gal. Time to leave the 90's behind all the way, girl!

wow! a real-life makeup buddy! :)

my only 'real life' makeup buddy lives extremely far -- on the other side of the continent. and she's not actually as hard-core as me...so i try to tone things down around her as well...lol...


i went into mac this evening and chatted with my fave sa...she showed me how to contour my face! i finally know how to do it without making my face look dirty!!! she showed me one side, and then i replicated the other side as she went through each step. so awesome to finally be able to do this properly....
in a way the SAs end up being my makeup buddies...
