Just ordered it yesterday when it was back up on the MAC website, along with Petticoat.
Hope it looks good on me!

I got my backordered Stereo Rose a couple of days ago, and it was a real surprise. I didn't get a shipment notice so I wasn't expecting to get my MSF.
The one I got has pretty heavy veining on the upper half of it, and in my opinion the veining does change the color of the product slightly. The top half swatches a bit warmer than the bottom half and has more of a bronze sheen to it.
I'm pretty pale so this difference may be more or less apparent because of my skin, but having some big veins in the product is nice because the bronze bits make a pretty eyeshadow. I also need to just barely touch a fan brush to this product to get the effect I'm looking for, so I'm glad I didn't go crazy with back-ups. It's beautiful but it will last forever, unlike with my Porcelain Pink, you don't need a ton of this color for impact. So far I love it.

I got my Stereo Rose last week, it's okay. Not understanding what all the hype was about. I think I just got caught up. Im NW45. On it's own its not all that great. Wonder what blush I could pair this with. Any ideas.

I never got a stereo rose and I am honestly okay with it. I have looked obsessively at swatches and decided it would be too metallic/shiney/frosty for me. Now maybe this is just me being fox and calling "sour grapes" but I am willing to live with that.
Now, I know this isn't a Petticoat thread, but what's the deal with the veining in Petticoat??? I have one ordered from MAC...

The veinings of Petticoat will affect the colour of the msf very much. Much veinings will result in a bronzey amber looking Petticoat.Less veinings will result in a raspberry pinkish Petticoat
Hope this helps

Hi everyone!
So...I bought a Stereo Rose for my mom when it was released and I finally got to see her to give it to her. I tried it on her with mine first to see if she'd like it but honestly, I can't see it that well. I WANT to make it work for her since it's supposedly super flattering for everyone and I got one for her. And I think she wants to like it too since I seem to be so excited about being able to get one for her.
Maybe I'm not using it right? I'm NC37-40 and she's about NC47, maybe even NC50. Can someone in that color range give me some tips? She's only here for another few days and I want to send her home with the BNIB one I got her.
Thanks.

i'm not in that colour range but have you tried it wet? spray the brush with some fix+ or even water! that way the colour will be more pigmented on her
