I need someone to talk me off the fence about FP, Autoerotique and At Dusk. NW10 and I already have Superb, do I really need FP too? Between Autoerotique and At Dusk, which is a must have for pale skin? I'm not sure if I have anything too similar to either.

At Dusk for sure! Especially since you're a jelly! :nods:

They didn't restock CI either it never sold out. Looks like they're restocking in the order of what sold out first (SS and CC)

Yes, they look exactly the same for me in the tube, swatched, and on the lips. If you missed out on Restrained or if you have it but really want a backup then Sensual Sparks would be your dupe. Not sure if anyone else compared them and came to a different conclusion though.

Same here.

I just checked these two lippies after Pixie asked me about SS and Restrained. I just tried them both on and they are IDENTICAL on my lips and swatched too.

Nope not itrritating at all. Very mild! My skin is very sensitive and almost nothing makes it peel burn etc. This is really good balances the ph. I use it even when my rosacea is not acting up like when I get the occasional pimple... It's great. Talk to ur doc tho...

At Dusk is great because it's just the most gentle hint of color - very foolproof and natural for pale skin. I've got so many darn blushes, it isn't even funny, but At Dusk is one of 2 or 3 main ones that get used all the time. I've never backed up a blush in my life, but I'm considering it for At Dusk. Autoerotique is beautiful if you want a blush that can go very subtle or stronger, depending on your mood and/or if you already have some HG subtle, simple natural blushes you swear by.

FP is going to be warmer on you than Superb, but it's also a little less metallic, so that might balance it out.

I LOVE the 159 - it's become one of my favorite highlight brushes.

In the past, I liked the 131 the most and still do when I want a nice wide sweep. It's also my hands-down favorite for bronzer. I'd also use it for deeper MSFs that I wanted sort of a bronzer/blush/highlight all-in-one effect with. I wish it wasn't LE, because it's a very versatile brush.

Then when the 128 split fiber came out, I started forsaking the 131 a bit, especially with extra-shimmery highlights like the EDSFs and CCBs, because you could control the placement really carefully.

Then, when the 159 came out, I just about jumped ship from either the 131 or 128 because this brush is just beautiful. The white bristles are just sparse enough that they trap and remove excess glitter out of really sparkly MSFs, but the belly of the brush is so thick, rounded and dense that it grabs plenty of product in one charge, unlike other skunk brushes. The nice dense belly feels so soft and luxurious and the size is also perfect for careful placement, rather than big swoops, but bigger than the 128, so it works with less metallic products, as well as with shinier ones. It's big enough to sweep with but not so big you can't pat with it too. Because it's nice and dense, you can buff and blend with it too, not just apply, which is something the 128 is a little small and skinny for.

At this point, the 159 pretty much knocks the 128 out of the park, except that the 128 is great for creams as well as power, plus the 128 is best for the most concentrated placement. I may just start switching my 128 more over to concealer and moisturizer, but I do swear by it for stuff like RiRi Diamonds and the most metallic EDSFs.

NOTE: Like Erine was saying, the 188 is super versatile too, and great if you like to swirl-buff your highlight into your foundation. When I didn't have a lot of brushes (or highlighters), I swore by the 188. It's still my primary blush brush and I use it just about every day.

I think that's my issue with skunk brushes like the 188, they weren't dense enough for me. I like the sound of this 159. And I am loving the 128 so far. That concentrated placement of highlight with a dense brush is what I was looking for. I wanted it to go where I wanted it to go, then be able to blend it out. It's perfect. I think that's why my highlight wasn't looking the way I wanted it to look, it was the brush I was using. I love it when a plan comes together.

Girl you have sold me on the 159. I'm going to MAC this weekend anyway, so I'll check this brush out while I'm there.
