Love the pics, @Karrie ! I love how light Golden looks there, makes me more excited for it. I already got a shipping notice,

 

[Abrilita02]

Hmmmm... Can golden work as a highlighter for NC42?

 

[Debbs]

Does anyone think that Legendary Lure may be similiar to Eat, Love es? I found Eat, Love be too blackened on me as a on the lid color. I felt that it made looked really rugged and tired. The extra dimension formula may make a huge difference tho. I bought Nars Malacca es yesterday. Malacca is a lighter green but still very pigmented. I also have Nars Night Porter (thanks hon). Do I really need LL ? Still trying to trim and tweak my list.

oh goody!! I just gave away my HH to a young lady who loved it. Paying it forward always brings me good karma.

I wouldn't repurchase anything similar.. lol

I can't wear purple either....have tried, but it's definitely a no go. Am passing on HH to my niece who is a purple junkie. Paying it forward!

IMO, they are not suitable AT ALL. Golden will definitely be an oompa loompa yellow craziness. If you have to get a bronzer from AA and you are NW, then go for Refined Golden. It is less yellow, but it has more sparkle.



If you just want it for the product, then go for it. Personally, I only buy products that I will actually use.




Exactly. All three are very yellow (you can add Soft Sand as the 4th yellow-based bronzer), which just looks horrible on any pink complexion. A good test is to take a selfie with the wrong bronzer applied. Any smartphone camera will pick up the yellowness of the powder as it clashes with pink undertones. The difference will be very noticeable where the color fades into your natural pink undertone (ears, neckline, etc.).

On those beauties with olive or golden undertones and/or darker complexions, Golden or Refined Golden will look absolutely beautiful.

In a nutshell: Bronzers should be chosen based on undertones rather than the level of darkness. I (NW18) can pull off a very dark bronzer - with a light hand - when it has the right undertones, but unfortunately, it doesn't work the other way round. A yellow-based bronzer will always look "off" on NW skin, even if I apply it super lightly.

Of course, everybody can buy and wear whatever they want. But why waste money on a product that won't work nor will look good?

As always
