DANG!! AGAIN!! Every lippie looks GREAT on you!! 

Awww, thanks so much!

Really I think a lot of people are sleeping on Siren Song. Yes I know it just looks like a lip balm to some but not to me. I think this is truly a lippie that's a "Your lips but better" shade. You can't get anymore nude than this and look great at the same time.

I so agree! I really love it!

Your hair is everything!!! You are working that ish. Those dimples get me every time!!! Gorgeous!  I especially love GoTS on you. 

LOL! Thanks a bunch!

. So so beautiful, I cannot even stand those dimples! Lol you could literally wear anything and look fabulous doll!! Come on UPS! I wanna play too! Lol everyone looks incredible in their goodies! Yay!

Your totally sweet!! Thank you! I'm waiting to see you rock out! It will be fabulous on you!

Jazzy indeed!  You look beautiful!

thank you so much!

Beautiful I know a lot of WOC are afraid of these two, but they look beautiful 

Definitely agree! They are awesome colors!

Looks so beautiful on you. I love all of these on you. Beautiful.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Girl...I bought nearly everything. All the EDES, AS, all of the lipsticks except for GoTS, Clear Water lg, Water Deities, and a few backups..lol

That's exactly how I use bronzers...around my hairline, temples, around my jawline, and just a bit down the center of my face, and cheeks. I go for that bronzey glow...I don't wanna look like I have 2 dark strips of powder down my cheeks. LOL

Lmao!! Yea me either I don't know why girls think it looks cute when they wear their bronzer like that. I bought Delphic cause I was afraid AS was going to be too light for my skin I haven't had a chance to play with it yet but I'm going to apply just like you do.

I am seriously in LOVE with Siren Song. It is so beautiful. I'm so glad I bought it.

Sorry to be thick but what gallery I'm just about figuring out how to do stuff on here still

Another haul and swatch video from a WOC. She gets it. Delphic is not going to give color but a nice, natural glow for her skin tone. http://youtu.be/LufoSj0rjHA

Oh, it’s The Fancy Face! I've never seen one of her videos, she's so bubbly. Is that a Jamaican accent I'm hearing? Sweet.

That's how I use bronzer. Just for a nice sunkissed look where the sun would naturally hit me. I don't like bronzers used for strong contouring... most skin tones can't pull it off very well (although there a few people out there that can.) I much prefer to use actual contouring products to contour with (which should have a little gray in the base to make the contours look like actual shadow).

I totally agree !!! Mandy

I dunno about you guys, but I don't always buy bronzers to contour my face. I usually buy bronzers to WARM UP my face, to give my skin a glow, and some life. If I want to contour, I use my Kevin Aucoin Sculpting Powder or my Chanel Notorious, or some other very matte/grey-ish bronzer. I think way too many people expect ALL bronzers to be good contouring products, but that is not the sole purpose. If you are fair skinned, I'm sure these bronzers in this collection can work as your contour product, but I didn't buy them to do that..I wanted the GLOW.

Yup. No bronzer works as a contour. It doesn't. I'll say it til i die. And people can argue with me about it and they'll be wrong. Contours are grey. Bronzers are warm. The definition and colour is in the name of the product alone. End of story.

I like your way of thinking What did you get again from this collection? So do you just use the bronzer on your checks , forehead and nose where the sun hits to give you that glow? The reason I'm asking is cause I really don't use bronzer but I like when I see someone that has a nice glow to their skin

I know she already answered, but this is the proper bronzer placement, if a picture helps. I posted it earlier in this thread. It's an E3 placement (temples, cheekbones, jawline), then using what's left on your brush, hit the center of your forehead, nose and chin.

I don't get that either. I would't use a bronzer for contouring.

Never! It's messes up the entire structure of the face, and counteracts what one's trying to do in the first place-to sculpt.
