Interesting! Do you feel the same about any previous bronzers (a perfect winter bronzer for fair skin)?


Great to know, too. I don't think one should wear just mattes at our age but I def have some issues and probably won't go crazy with all sorts of glittery things from now on. I have plenty of them if needed.

Not to mention I can't even get 4 normal e/s here for the 85 USD.

Good question! No, I can't say I've ever seen a bronzer like this one. It's whisper-fine. When I put it on, it really looks like I am not wearing anything at all, and yet I can tell that my skin has been totally livened up - it's just that no one will ever know and even I can't see the powder sitting on the skin, even peering into a mirror. That's how fine it is. If you're looking for a complete illusion of zero makeup, this bronzer is something special. Again, though, I'm NC15, so I don't need to use more than one swipe to get this effect. If a person had darker skin, maybe it would have to be built up or maybe it just wouldn't show up at all, so it's definitely try-before-buy. I WILL say that if MAC made this formula of bronzer in 3 shades of darkness, it would be guaranteed amazing and easy/foolproof for everyone and should be perm - that's how nice this is. No shimmer or sheen either! Not matte looking either - just completely invisible texture. I was super surprised when I tried and and was all "MINE MINE MINE MINE".

That sounds great! That's exactly what I love about my light Guerlain bronzers; uber-fine powder that disappears into the skin and just makes me look healthy. I hope MAC will make more powders like this; it's not only 'older' skin that benefits from the kind of flawless finish they deliver.

I got the palette and it is going to be hard for me to give this bad boy up. LOL

I also got both lippies, very pretty. The pink gloss was nothing on my lips. The orange is ok. I wish it wasn't so sheer.

Sounds really great. As we are about the same shade (NC15-20), and my Mac MUA keeps hinting something about 'getting some warmth to my face', I def will consider this bronzer.

Me too...Ive kind of wanted it all along, but talked myself out of it. Its so hard for us to find bronzers that work for our skin tones (not really. I just need justification! Lol!) Im going to try it on...

Assuming that I can still find this palette, would it work on an NC42? I didn't get to play with it in the store and even from looking at the swatches, I'm still undecided.

Debenhams still haven't put up the LE stuff from this collection online, I believe it will be going up tomorrow along with AW - if they have any palettes left to sell online that is probably your best bet
