It depends on your skin tone.
I use all my msf's as blush, but I'm quite pale NC15 or lighter. I love them so much that I buy 2 at once as they are usually limited.

Some of them can indeed be used as a blush, particularly if you are pale. What kind of colours do you tend to love most as a blush? Pink, peachy, bronze, etc?

I had Samantha convice me to drop a few things in order to get two of the msfs instead of one,.Now I'm getting blonde msf and redhead msf.These msfs look really unique so...yeah.Get em!Oh I have Petticoat too,I loveeee it.You definately made a great decision.

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)

pather27, your list is so similar to mine, except that I want Knight too. After reading Samantha's thoughts, I will cut down too, but this is not definite. I need to see more swatches and the real products. I can't wait! rbella doesn't need to spend time considering what to buy or cut.

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)

A grey VP? Bring it on!!!!

If you're interested, I'm also skipping Chignon lipstick since it's a glaze and will have ZERO lasting power (hence annoying me every time I wear the bloody thing, as Fun n Sexy reminded me the other night), and I'm skipping Quick Tease gloss since, though it may not be an exact match, I have Jampacked and I really don't need to red-toned purple glosses. I didn't cover those above earlier. Obviously Top Knot will be skipped for just looking black and Deep Shade is just another deep blue.

I love pink blushes, definitely. I don't have any bronze blush yet, but I would love to get one. I'm a NC25. IDK if that's pale tho.

If you're in need of a bronze blush, I'd recommend checking out So Ceylon MSF. It's a wonderful rosy bronze, and you'll need only a bit to warm up your cheeks. You're not terribly pale, but Petticoat would certainly work as a blush on you, and I suspect any of the MSFs to be released with this would. Best I can say at this point is that you should look at the swatches and see which colour/shade appeals to you the most.

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)

I thought Quick Tease looks similar like Jampacked too so I cut it when I first saw the swatches. I will skip Chignon because I don't want another plum lipstick, but I agree that I don't like glaze. I have Pleasureseeker, Lollipop Lovin' and Soft Spot and they all sit on top of my lips and apply unevenly. 3 is enough for glaze lipsticks, I will skip all glaze in the future.

I heard a tip but don't remember where from, so I can't credit

I heard Lollipop Lovin' is better applied over the lipglass because it does just that "sit on top of the lips" Hope you get more wear out of them now

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)

Yeah, I'm definitely skipping all of the lustres and glazes. 1. Too sheer. 2. Too slippery. 3. Doesn't last long.

Amplified cremes, frosts, or satins are love though. <3
So yeah, all the frosts are coming home with me!

I'm definitely wanting the red head eyeshadows and Henna!
And the three MSFs. This may be the best 2009 collection for me.
