on NC 30/35 skin

Wore the BP today (I received it yesterday)

I love it, it didn't appear ashy on me at all, and like elegant said, it gives a soft-focused effect! I'm happy I didn't skip it~
It seems sort of translucent, with a glow (small shimmer particles), and is ever so slightly peachy.

Prettyyyy

Thanks for all the pics everyone!

I really wanted to love TLK. Maybe it was the lighting but it only looked okay on me. It turned too pinky

Perhaps I should test it out again with lipliners, maybe i can love it then.


But the BP I LOVE! it's the perf all over finishing powder, it doesn't translate on me at all matte but just a beautiful glow. It's quickly replaced my Hourglass diffused. I just had to back it up.
I really wish I could have gotten FM BP. But i skipped it/

I can't wait to try the BP as an all over face powder. I've been interested in the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders so I'm hoping this is comparable! Unfortunately I wasn't aware of how awesome BP are when that collection came out. I remember seeing it and thinking 'what the heck do I do with that?' Now I'm kicking myself for skipping it and hoping I can find it at a CCO.

I got a chance to try out the products I picked up yesterday - Sculpt SP and Natural BP. Sculpt is really natural and easy to use for someone that is fair. I was a little worried this may be a bit too dark because someone recommended Bone Beige to me. I might try Bone Beige in the future. I used the BP as a under eye setting powder today. Not sure if that's what it's supposed to be used for but I wanted to give it a try. I was hoping this would be similar to Accentuate shaping powder since I want to try that out. Any thoughts? This BP is so pretty and really gives a nice brightness to the face. Here are some pictures of me wearing the SP and BP. The lighting isn't the best because I took them later in the evening rather than in the morning when I prefer to take makeup pictures.

Tried to get a close up shot. This was a few hours later so the lighting isn't the greatest.

I'm in love with the stuff I bought from this collection!! I used the 109 brush I bought yesterday to apply the sculpting powder and my highlighter. It's really nice! I'm glad I picked it up.
So so beautiful on you! What shade are you btw in foundation?

Thank you! I'm wearing Matchmaster in 1.0 with Pro Longwear Concealer in NC 15 mixed in to add a little more coverage where I needed it. I'm not too sure what color I am in MAC foundation. I've been matched to NW 15 a couple years ago but I don't think that's quite right. When I went into MAC for Maleficent, I asked to be color matched and the MUA said I was neutral. I think I may lean a little NC 15 though because NW 15 usually looks to pink on me.

No problem! Have you already hauled for Maleficent? Are you picking it up? It's so pretty!! I think it would look fabulous on you! I wish they had brought out another color for darker ladies (and gents).

If NW is too pink on you, it sounds like you're NC, especially if the NC concealer is working ok for you.

I've been thinking I may be NC rather than the NW like I was originally told. I have samples of the PLWC and I'm preferring NC 15 over NW 15. Hurray for finally figuring out my undertone and what works for me haha. I cringe when I think back to the time I was wearing a foundation that was not the right color on me.

I was originally told that I was NW. I think they looked at the redness that I carried in my cheeks and just assumed that must mean I'm NW. The next time I was told NC. In actuality, I probably fall more into the neutral category. In Nars Sheer Glow, I mix Mont Blanc (pink undertone) with Gobi (yellow undertone) to get my match.
 
Does anyone from the UK know if the Maleficent collection will be coming to Debenhams or if it was just exclusive to Selfridges & the MAC UK website? So gutted I missed out on the True Love's Kiss lipstick...

I think that's what they did with me. I've never tried on a NC 15 foundation though so I'm not sure if I'm truly NC or neutral. I haven't branched out to other brands for foundation so I don't know what coloring I am there. I've been interested in Sheer Glow lately. I want to get some samples of foundations when I go into Sephora next.

I am odd as well. In the Winter I prefer Studio Fix Powder in N3 but the Summer is NW18. Always N2 in Face and Body though. I also am weird with MSFN. I like light plus and medium plus. Regular Medium is too yellow for me.

[@]erine1881[/@] or anyone else who would like to answer.... I'm not sure where the thread for this product is (I tried searching for it) but this product is repromoted in this collection. I'm thinking of picking up the Prep + Prime Highlighter but I'm not sure what color would work better for me. I originally considered Radiant Rose when I thought I was NW 15. Plus I've heard it's best to have NW under the eyes. Now that I've determined that I'm NC 15 I'm considering Light Boost. What do you recommend?
