Help: Tahitian Sands Or Pretty Baby Bp On Nc40?

[shaysterr]

Hey,

Yes, as you can tell- I'm quite the noobie in this site.
HOWEVER, I've been waiting to ask a good question that might do me some good.
As everyone knows- The hello kitty collection is out and about but I needed some input because this is my first time planning to buy a MAC Beauty powder ... so- Please bare with me

I'm NC40, and looking at swatches of Pretty Baby and Tahitian Sands beauty powder... I just have no idea which will show up and give me a nice glow.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

i have the same problem,im nc40 too and i wanna get a bp from hk but i dont know which one would look good on me

I've read that neither of them show up well on darker skin tones. There are a bunch of posts about it in the HK WOC thread. But if you do really want something for your cheeks, tippy will show up for sure.

I haven't had the opportunity to see HK yet but from previous collections BPs dont show up on me at all unless i apply a heavy layer and im nc40. But i'm still going to get one BP since i love the packaging! im probably lemming towards tahitian sand... orangey brown colors look better on me than pink colors :\ ohh and i'm definitely getting fun & games blush!

i'm aware of this happening - those BP won't ever show up on myy skin.. but i'm getting it anyway... only because of the packaging.... cause in the end, i'm going to switch it with myy blot powder... just like other people did with their heatherette beauty powder compact... ^^

I wish someone would swatch those BP's and pack it on their cheeks...for us.

I'm an NC40 and I bought the HK beauty powder in Pretty Baby and both those colors dont show up!

So I only bought it cuz of the packaging so I can switch my powders like MSF, blot powders, etc.

It seems like from my experience with BP and others with darker skin tone, BP's don't show up too well on us. Which is sad cause I bought Alpha Girl from Heatherette and it has lovely packaging but sits there and never gets used. And oh btw I'm only an NC35 also!

I'd probably go with the blushes then if you want something that actually does show up.

I'm an NC40 to =)!
I saw some swatches on lighter skin tones and it barely showed on the skin
so I was doubting that I would get a bp, now I know for sure that I'm just
going to pass on them even if the compacts would be nice to switch out with
msf and what not
