I used a fan brush first. I LOVE the colors on I just hate how small the color areas are. They show up great on me. Yes, they are very buildable..I just want more color area LOL!!!
They make the skin look beautiful & soft. EG is gorgeous on!!!!

Ohh my bad.. I was thinking you meant pigmentation not the actual ratio of color to highlight!! Whoops. Lol.

EG - a VERY soft natural rose pink! I LOVE this one
DH - Actually, on me it does show a pretty soft kind of pale coral red. This one has the most pretty shimmer.
Flush - Very pretty soft pink coral

They do NOT all look the same shade on me! lol

WANT IN MY LIFE IMMEDIATELY.

Its beautiful!!!! I LOVE how my skin looks with this on. I'm also going to use it on top of other blushes.

Lovely pics, Elegant! They all look so pretty.

They didn't have it online when they finally fixed the Canada shipping snafu but that was my original first choice. I'm excited for Mood though. I think those two will be my ultimate cheek favorites ever! I feel like I've been waiting for a product like this for my entire makeup-buying life!!

I didn't like Ethereal Glow on it's own; I ended up exchanging it for a backup Diffused Light. I'm fine with subtle blushes (prefer them even) but I was thinking this one wouldn't show up. It's just in the last few months that I've realized that although I have to be careful with cool-toned pink lippies, the blush are very flattering because they look like a natural flush. I've been wearing Launch Away to death (it looks peach in pan but goes on pink) and I like a light application of Dollymix too.

If RM or EG give a nice natural pink flush, I'll almost certainly go down. That's ok - I have one slot left for a spring product and there's nothing else I've seen that tempts me. I'll wait to try my two first though.

So after being a bit bummed out that mine do not have a lot of color I really loved how they look on my skin! VERY VERY pretty! I still would really really like to have more color. Not sure what to do. Enjoy the pics! Flush - far left, DH middle, EG - right (my favorite) ^^^EG ^^^DH ^^^Flush EG ^EG main shade ^DH ^DH main shade ^Flush with main shade on cotton ball ^Flush main shade

The base of EG almost reminded me of Nars SF... Are they similar? I haven't ordered EG yet as I was waiting for more swatches, but now I may have to!

If you get a blush with more powder than blush, I would highly recommend trying it on your face first. My dim blush has much more powder than blush - I applied today with a stippling brush and I got a good amount of color. It;s a light peach blush (not coral as described on Sephora) so even if you build it up, it's still al light color.

I don't see this working as a blush for women with medium or darker skin tones. I'm fair/light skinned and it shows up as a very natural flush. It blends like a dream.

Diffused came today, I can't wait to try that and Radiant Magenta out.

When I saw the promo add for these I actually started an online savings pot because I knew I needed them all and would get a friend in the US to do a CP for me, now I am not so sure, I was hoping for bolder colours and a wider range of shades, they all run much more muted and similar than expected. I don't own any Ambient Lighting powders so maybe I am better off getting a mix of blushes and powders?

Kind of maybe a tad more ballet pink than SF. I just used EG over the new clinique Berry Pop blush & it gave it such a soft pretty glow. These really give the skin a VERY pore-less diffused flawless glow.

I'm giddy with excitement right now at that statement.. haha.

EG definitely gives this very pretty soft violet/ballet pink flush.

I wore my Luminous Flush today and actually had to blend out a little bc I grabbed too much with my brush. It's super pigmented on me!

 

[elegant-one]

I think this is why I do not want to send them back. ALL of them make the skin look so flawless soft & pretty. I think I will keep them.

 

[RayRay88]

After seeing swatches, I think I'd be better off just trying the AL powders with blushes I already own. Ethereal Light is first on my list!

 

[elegant-one]

LF is def. more pigmented. Even though I have a lot of peach. peachy coral, coral blushes...this one looked different enough on me. The soft flawless glow is divine.

I can never have enough blushes, especially since you said how wonderful they make the skin look! Going to test out my LF when it gets in tomorrow and if I love it, I want to order EG!
