This might become really exp for me. Im not getting the eyshadows but the blushes and skinfinishes are fair game. Not sure bout the lippies yet. I wasnt in MAC when superb came out, will it work on my skintone?

NC20 baby! :nods: I have one plus a BU!

I have seen ppl with our skintone wearing Superb as any other highlighter and it looked great on them.the problem for me is that it pulls pink-bronze and i can't wear strong color on top of my cheekbones,it just looks weird,maybe is the shape of my face the problem, i dunno.So for me it's not a typical highlight in that sense.Nevertheless it's really pretty, if you put it a bit below the high points of your cheekbones, it looks gorgeous!

It pulls dark like this on me only outside in the sunlight. Indoors it's a gorgeous soft light highlight, similar to DefDef.

Thanks - I can't tell how heavily you swatched, but it does look dark. I think I can skip this one. I have Dior Amber Diamond and now Perfectly Poised, so both give a golden glow. Given how lightly I apply them I have to keep reminding myself that the sometimes subtle differences between shades really aren't apparent on the skin.

I don't think I'll order this one online - I'll wait and try it in store. If it's sold out, so be it. I have a ton of highlighters as it is - missing out on this one won't be a tragedy.

It should really work on your skin Audrey, especially if you apply highlighter very lightly (as do I). I'm NC20-25 with very yellow undertones and it works just fine on me. I promised a swatch yesterday but I can't capture the color very well with my phone and I didn't want to post an inaccurate swatch.

 

[Monsy]

my list for now:

Superb

soft peachy nude with multi-dimensional shimmer * - never tried it ​

would these two blushes work for nc20?

Autoerotique

mid-tone coral rose​

Pleasure Model

soft terracotta with pearlized pigments​

It's Physical

brown with purple pearlized pigments​

Those are the blushes I have written down in my list and I too am NC20. Corals look fine on me in general and I have been wanting a burnt red for a while, so I guess that if I apply it lightly it should work

What about you? Which colours do you usually favour?

You do realize you're enabling, right?

I think they are just right for NC, PM for sure. I'm also NC20 and I'm getting both.

.... But it's so different from Amber Diamond! *enable* Here's a comparison swatch. LTR: AD, Superb, WOG.

Which of these EDSFs do you all think will work best (based on description for now) will work best for WOCs? I am NC45.

 

[Darby]

I purchased like 3 or 4 of the ED e/s last time around and I have never touched any of them. They were an impulse buy and once I got around to swatching them myself I felt like they weren't really all the great. I'm hoping this time around I am a little more impressed. Loved the feel of them though.

 

[martiangurll]

Do we think that Magnetic Appeal will be too deep toned for pale gurls? I am about NC15 right about now, may be closer to NC10 in February...

 

[kalexis08]

i want Magnetic Appeal and Fairly Precious! nothing else moves though...

 

[whittnee]

Still iffy on this collection

A pox on your household, etc. Now I have to buy the damned thing.

That's it. I'm telling. Dear Santa....

Thanks for the pic. I know it's really hard to get these to swatch well. I can see that Superb is quite a bit deeper and bronzy/pink than Amber Diamond, but now I'm wondering if it's close to Perfectly Poised.

Left: Amber Diamond
Right: Perfectly Poised

It doesn't translate well in the pic (natural light BTW), but PP is a much deeper bronzy/pink compared to AD. Maybe Superb is more bronze again? Does anyone have both Perfectly Poised and Superb to swatch side by side?

I have always thought that Superb is kind of a rose gold.
