You know it!!
That's good payback. At least we'll look good with our 'flawless' skin
Thanks so much LivN for the tip about applying ML as a highlighter! I just purchased ML a few days ago and was set to return it as it indeed does look too glowy on my oily skin. I will try it as a highlighter instead.
As for the Ambient Lighting Blushes, I LOVE them! The texture and staying power are quite remarkable. I purchased Dim Infusion and Luminous Flush when they were first released to VIBs, and love both on my NC30 skintone. Even when it looks like there isn't much blush (vs. powder) in the compact, I've had to use a stippling brush and a light hand when applying as the blushes are very pigmented on my skintone. Once the blushes were released on Sephora to everyone, I caved further and bought RM, DH, and ME. I just received them so have only wore RM -- which is a beautiful brighter pink that will be perfect for spring/summer, and as a great color in general to brighten the face. Excited to try ME and DH in the next few days
I have been thinking mostly about picking up Dim Infusion &Mood Exposure to add to my lovely Diffused Heat. Is Dim Infusion natural looking on you?I don't think I care for Luminous Flush; mine is mostly blush and it's just ok. If I want a pigmented shot of pink, I like Dollymix better. This may go back; I've been working hard at editing my collection over the last couple of months and I don't really want to move anything in that isn't going to see much use.
Dim Infusion, on the other hand, I absolutely adore.
I'm not sure that natural is the right word to use for a peachy shade; very flattering, yes. Natural? Not entirely. I have other shades that look like I've just got a natural flush or have had a bit of sun (At Dusk, Warm Soul, etc); I'm not sure that this is quite the same. It's not heavy or orange looking (at least not on me), but it's not my natural cheek colour either.
I'm super picky about my splurges and decided to pass on the blush too. There's something powdery about them to me. On the skin I almost feel like the effect is like oil coming through setting powder and faded blush at the end of a long hot day. I get the way it's supposed to look but I just don't like it. The lighting powder I haven't found my perfect color yet but on the right skin I like the effect. The brush is the key.Tried on these blushes the other day at Sephora and they were very pretty, but I ended up passing. I did get an Ambient powder in Luminous Light though but I'm not so sure how I feel about it. It does make my face seem more luminous but I'm not sure if it's really worth keeping since I'm not really blown away by the effect and it looks like it might end up being one of my first ever cosmetics returns. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Thanks for the input! I had been using a fluffy blush brush, fan brush and a stiffer powder brush and just wasn't all that impressed. I'll try and pick up the HG brush and see how that goes.
I didn't see too much difference in the blushes vs regular blushes on me, plus I found the colours to be very similar to some I already have which is why I chose to try the powder instead.
I second the recommendation for the HG brush. The powders look much better if lightly swept onto the skin rather than buffed or stippled IMO.Thanks for the input!

Awesome dear! I love that combo too - very pretty.
I got the idea from you! It'll be so hard to decide which blush to get next. I love the finish on theseAwesome dear! I love that combo too - very pretty.
Mood Exposure was the one blush I wanted from this collection, but it totally disappeared on me. I was sad about it. :/
I really prefer EG over SF than by itself. I tried it alone, and it's just much more lovely with SFI too am using EG over SF.. it just makes pop a bit more.. lol.
as if a SF doesn't always pop
my mood exposure arrived like 1 hour ago and im not happy ;( on my cheeks looks coral u orange wtf
