Beauty Powders - What do you use them for? What's your opinion?

[pugmommy7]

well, I went back and tested them irl again and i loved the sunsparked pearl, so i sold some stuff to justify the purchase-he he he!(my naked you msf-since it is way to glittery for me)
I am excited! The shell pearl seemed to be less noticable colorwise but was wonderfully glowy. i think i will get that one soon too.
I really appreciate all these points of view.

Am I the only one who isn't wowed by the beauty powders at all?

Beauty Powder...

So I've been thinking about purchasing the Shell Pearl or Sunsparked Pearl beauty powders, but now I'm kind of wondering if they are worth it. What exactly do they do? Are they different from MSF's? Give me the low down! Thanks a bunch!

I have Shell Pearl, and for $20 US I really do think it's worth it. It goes on me (PPP, NW15) like a lighter version of MAC Springsheen Shimmer Sheertone Blush. You could also compare it to Nars Orgasm blush, but with Orgasm there's more obvious golden sheen. I would say they're different enough from MSF to own both. The Beauty Powder compact is the same size as a pressed powder, and it has a mirror. HTH

So there's an obvious color to it when you put it on? I was kind of hoping it would have color, without as much shimmer as MSF's....like a powder thats "glowy" instead of all shimmery haha.

Yes, Shell Pearl definitely has a bit of color on me. I like that the shimmer is still office-appropriate.

I have both & I love them. I use shell on my cheeks for a rosy hue & sunspecked for an all over glow. I'm super pale if that helps.

 

[MACaddict08]

so which would you recommend the most?

 

[Leslie_B]

NC20 and I love them both! They definitel remind me of lighter msfs

 

[gretchygretch84]

I only got sunsparked and although it's veeeery subtle I don't regret buying it at all. (I'm a NC 25/30 for reference)

 

[alysia]

sunspecked pearl is great for just an all over glow, but if your pink toned so is shell pearl. aw crap I just can't decide, I honestly love them both so much. Ask your MA?

I recieved mine the shell powder it does give u a glow ^ but i agree with her it has no color ..both of them

 

[pugmommy7]

I got mine the other day and i LOVE it!!!
I only ordered sunsparked and it is a wonderful all over glow. I may still get the shell peach. it is honestly what i was always hoping naked you msf would be on me but never was, and no big chunks of sparkle/glitter.
it really looks like buffed glowing perfection.... i feel pretty....
ok i'll stop now

i really love shell pearl as well. I am SFF NC25 and it turns out nicely on me. i can either use it as a blusher or as a highlighter. and the effect is a really natural glowing effect. I love Shell pearl...even more than my petticoat.

 

[wannabelyn]

i love my shell pearl . i'm contemplating on getting another one as a backup
it's the highlighter i've been searching for
previously armani's fluid sheer or benefits high beam didn't really do much for me. the effect was unnatural as well.

shell pearl doesn't show any colour on my face. i'm asian and nc25
it did highlight my face very nicely. i need to try sunsparked when it's launched tomorrow

 

[Sanne]

I have only pretty baby form diana, and to me it's just blusher that's really light, but that justperfect, it can never give me a baboon butt in tha face

the sundressing beautypowder looked gorgeous though!

Beauty Powder

I WAS WONDERING HOW DO EVERYBODY LIKE THE BEAUTY POWDER DOES IT GIVE YOU THAT J LO GLOW

 

[CrimsonCountess]

I have Sunsparked Pearl and Shell Pearl. I like them both but I use Shell much more often. No one has accused me of having a J. Lo glow......yet

 

[bellaetoile]

i'm an nc42...shell pearl looks really good on my skintone, especially over my foundation and blush. it does really well in photographs, too. no one has called me j.lo yet, but that's a good thing, as i might smack someone if they did. i hate her. still, her skin usually looks nice, and depending on your skin tone, beauty powder would probably give you the desired glow. beauty powders are more shimmery and "glowy" than your average blush, but not as intense as tthe MSFs..
