Beauty Powder Blushes on WOC

[blazeno.8]

So what do you guys think of the Beauty Powder Blushes? Do you think they'll be worth the effort?
I really liked the color description, but then seeing them on people who are very fair, it seemed:
1) incredibly sheer (color pay off?)
2) very light (possible ashyness)
3) a lot of the same colors

I'm NC45 so I don't know... maybe ever sun will work, but MAC constantly comes out with bronzer-effect face products. What do you guys think of the collection?

Re: Beauty Powder Blush

the bp blushes are more sheer than a regular blush but with the shimmer of a bp. they are pretty but not very pigmented. im an nc35ish (give or take some), and i think i can pull most of them off, but i'd probably have to layer. sweetness (i think thats the name), however, is very very pigmented from what ive seen in swatches. reminds me of fashion frenzy but with more shimmer. eversun seems like it would look good on south asian/indians to me. i dont think id like it so much on me though. there are some colors.. shy beauty for example, that seem like they would only work on very light skinned girls. im excited to see the collection though, hopefully theyll be woc friendly! i do agree though, seems like the colors might be ashy. only one way to know though, test em out! my motto is to try everything, whether i think it'll look good on me or not. thats the only way to know for sure. you might be in for a surprise

NW 43-45 here. Oh my goodness girls these are freakin G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S! Do not pass on them. When they come out rush down to your MAC counter of choice and buy several. They were just released 2 days ago here in Australia and already 2 colours are sold out on the website. A lovely girl at my favorite MAC counter helped me pick a few out. I tried on 4 of them and they were all beautiful. I ended up getting Serenely and True Romantic. Serenely is to die for on dark skin!! It's just the perfect warm, subtle orangey colour. True Romantic was a surprise. I didn't think it would work on me but it was a very pretty sheer pink. One of them was really similar to Sweet as Cocoa/Fab but I can't remember which.

The texture is very fine and silky and they glide on the skin. You can wear them sheer or build them up for a stronger colour. The girl helping me used the 129 brush to apply them and that seemed to work really well. None of the ones I tried made me look ashy. I just couldn't get over how "lovely" they made my skin look. You could easily leave the house just wearing your MSF Natural with a bit of the Beauty Powder Blush and some gloss for a perfect natural look. They give you a glow that is not glittery, just perfection. Pay day is coming up in another day and I intend on getting at least 2 more of these. I am very impressed with this collection. Swatches very soon!

Re: Beauty Powder Blush

I went back today and had another play with them. The colour payoff is good. They are sheer but not so sheer that they don't show up. 1-2 swipes across the cheek will give you a sheer veil of colour but you can easily build it up. I really wish these were permanent, they are just too beautiful. Honestly I think that some of them are quite different to how they look in the pan. They are even more beautiful on the skin!

I'm sorry, I swatched all of them and tried to make it home incident free so I could photograph my arm but alas, it was rush hour and I was squashed in on the train and most of the blush got wiped on some poor person haha.

I did some swatches of Serenely and True Romantic which I purchased earlier in the week. Link

Are any of you getting them? I love bright colors so I am not too sure if I will be buying them because of all the reviews saying its supposed to be subtle and sheer. I wonder if it will show up on tan or darker skin. I am NC37 for reference. I already have Fashion Frenzy & Hipness. Ahhh what to do, what to do...

 

[Lip_gloss_whore]

I think I will at least get two of them, as long as they are not similiar to blushes I already have. The colors seem pretty nice also very soft, and that's exactly what I have been looking for lately..... I don't know which ones I want yet I have to see them in person. I'll only get a few because I have to save money for Heatherette... So actually I'm debating on the collectioon also...... Hmmmmmmm??????

Re: Beauty Powder Blush

I really like that serenely on your skin

 

[blazeno.8]

Re: Beauty Powder Blush

Yeah, for me it's still really hard... I want something that's on the purple/plum side because I think that those are not as common as the warmer blushes/cheek products. I guess I'll just have to see them in person.

Re: Beauty Powder Blush

Re: Beauty Powder Blush

I usually just lurk around here but I am NC45 and I must agree with Spectrolite, Serenely is to die for!!! It was so beautiful on my cheeks, that one I must have.

Re: Beauty Powder Blush

As a woman of deep color, NW 50-55, Sweetness can give a bit of an ashy tone on pics. I must agree with the others, serenly is lovely as well as joyous.

Re: Beauty Powder Blush
