Makeup is always subjective. One person's ashy is sometimes exactly the look someone else is going for. Some like subtle, some like noticeable sheen, some like disco ball! :stars: As for how colours suit different tones, I'm coming to realise that undertone is sometimes much more important than the actual shade of your skin. I wear NC42-45 and find CPop ashy, but I've seen it look gorgeous even on people who wear the same colour as I do, and it definitely looks good on a lot of NW WOC.

I'm in total agreement.

In highlighter news, I picked up Nars Tribulation today. In one light it looked like nothing. In another light, I liked it a lot. It has a sheen not glitter but I don't know if it's in your face enough for me but the limited edition thing got me especially after I almost skipped Reckless. Then off to Bergdorf's. Hey they had the Charlotte Tilbury Norman Parkinson stuff in. I passed on the highlighter. It wasn't wowing me and wasn't warm enough. I tried different light and I thought I liked tribulation more for me. Well they did have the new bronze and glow, the darker one. I wiped some on my hand with a cotton pad. The sculpt was darker but still had the grayish tone that the first one had so I'm thinking maybe it is better suited for contouring. I didn't use it that way but Whoa! The highlight shade was tremendous. I don't know if it's for everyone because I thought it was orangey but I had to get it. When I put it down this lady grabbed it and started doing her makeup with it. She was Very light maybe a NCNW 20?? Not sure but she was telling an MA that she heard it was for darker tones but she really liked it. The store had these CT islands set up so I asked why and they said CT herself would be there tomorrow. I got no invite. Oh well I got what I wanted.

Hi everyone, I made the commitment to read this whole thread before I joined the convo. Here is my meager list of highlighters: MAC MY Paradise MAC Marine Life MAC Redhead MAC Perfect Topping MAC Porcelain Pink MAC Blonde MAC Warm Blend MAC The Center of the Universe MAC Petticoat MAC By Candlelight MAC Stereo Rose MAC Earthshine MAC Sunny by Nature MAC WonderWoman Golden Lariat MAC Refined Golden MAC Antonio Lopez Face Coral MAC Extra Dimension: Glorify, Double Definition, Superb Bilkerdikj: Cheek Duo Gold Coast Fashion Fair highlighter: Golden lights Laura Geller: Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator-Gilded Honey Elf: Gotta Glo Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Blushed Copper Arriving July 6th The Balm Betty Lou and Mary Lou luminizer. Gerard Cosmetics- Lucy In Basket??? Need help deciding whether to get Becca Rose Gold or Color Pop highly Waisted? Highly Eaisted Supposedly has more glitter/shimmer And Need to decide between Urban Decay Illuminating Powder in Aura or Color pop Teasecake Please let me know your thoughts. Is it true the Colorpop can expire in a year? Also I thought I read that a good brush for the mineralize skin finishes was the MAC 150? Is that correct ? They are not as smooth as Becca.

I have to say this thread has made me use my highlighters and find some I forgot about. Add Illmasqua Gleam and my new Dose of color Sunkissed highlighter to my list. I am currently awaiting Duwop's matilume in the mail like a kid waiting for the ice cream truck to arrive. I have to pick a fave to go to Renny Vasquez/Sam Fine's class next month. Anyone else going?

Swatches please! Do you feel like it is different enough from Champagne Pop and others?

Not tonight but I'll try tomorrow. Yessss! It is nothing like Champagne Pop. I'm trying to think of something similar but I really can't right now. It is mindful of Topaz but way more orangey. I can't think of anything that it is like but I'll go through my stash tomorrow. Oh wait. You are talking about Charlotte Tilbury Bronze and Glow, right? Tribulation - no it's not like champagne pop either. It is not so high shine. I can swatch that one too but I don't know how well it will show up in a swatch on me.

Sooooooooo... apologies if this has already been posted (I think I ended up skipping around 60 pages of discussion when I got so far behind), but this just popped up in an email today:


Laura Mercier Candleglow Luminizing Palette.

Has anyone seen this one in person yet? Any feelings?

Sorry about that but I just don't feel I've played with it enough to recommend yet. It is not an in your face highlighter. I had the same thoughts about the Estee Lauder one but ended up loving it. I don't want anyone to get it on my rec yet. My dilemma today is I have 2 new highlighters to play with and don't know which one to go with. Hmmm . . . .
