I just saw Belightful the other day and if it wasn't for the fact that I have spent too much money lately, I would have gotten it. It was so beautiful. I actually tried it on my hand with my finger. It was similar to Naked You, in my opinion. But it didn't have the glitter, just soft shimmer. So pretty. I think you could use it, lightly, for an all over glow or more heavily as a highlighter on your cheeks

i have both belightful and naked you and i can tell you that belightful is way better. the silver and clumpy glitter in naked you dont go with my skin type/texture... i use belightful as a highlight on my cheeks along with a blush or one of those cream color bases...it lookes awesome with the glimmer shimmers too...

i have Blushing Femme (i think that's the one) and I tend to use it a lot. I saw the powder from the Icon collection and turned it down in favor of this one.

i looove these!! i got one in the color ICE and by far is one of my fav mac items, i use it when i go bare on my skin, its so pretty. I think its an underdog product really, im goni to my cco where they have alot of them left to stock up! It leaves a soft pinkish glow with mininal glitter/shimmer. Its not liek a lustre where thiers glitter everywhere, alot of my clients make that misconcpetion when they see it at first. I also love to use it to highlight the borwbone or inner corners of eyes.

I use Belightful every day as a highlighter. IMO, much better than the MSF's (and definitely not as hyped and hard to find). I think that a lot of people would dig these a lot more if they jumped off the MSF bandwagon.

What brushes are you all using with these?
I have one (Belightful or Delicacy, I can't remember) but have only used it once. It was waaaay too chunky for me (my like Forgey & Filament shadows-which I HATE!)

I always thought people hated these because I never hear them talk about them. I have Star and Ice, haven't tried Star yet but I do like Ice - but compared to MSFs, I do like MSFs better because I think they show up better.

I just bought Star this weekend (the counter downtown had a ton of LE stuff left over) and I love it. I've only tried it today and it's a slight highlight which is gorgeous. My cousin bought one too and she used it all over her face yesterday and it was very lovely. That's more for a going out at night look.

i have a few of them but mostly use belightful
i apply it when i take the extra time to contour and highlight, which is pretty much only for special occasions

i use it on the high planes of the face with the fan brush

This is the "Beauty Powder" in the compacts? If so...I better grab one of the new ones.

OK, just realized they are 2 different things on the website. Are they basically the same kind of powder?

I've been wondering if any of their special edition compacts are refillable, too. Does anyone know?

How do the Iridescent Powders differ from the Sundressing Beauty Powders? I know the Icon BPs that I have are matte, but the Sundressing ones had a shimmer so I wonder if there is a difference between IPs vs. Sundressing BPs.

the sundressing bps have hardly any shimmer to them, where as ipps have more noticeable shimmer...
