Hard question... I would say I use my 181 like brush a bit more often than the 187 for applying MSFs

Looks like I want So Ceylon then. I wont use it as an everyday bronzer, but I want to try it as a bronzer with a bit of shimmer. Im a NW25

Awesome! The 181 is cheaper too!

And cuter! I think that should count, too.

I love that little brush on my cheeks

Or would that be the better bronzer? Thanks, I havent been following this collection too much and now that I have my Manish goodies, I need to direct my focus here

soft&gentle is far too light to use as a bronzer, I wouldn't use a MSF as a bronzer, they are too shimmery! right now I'm using the blush Margin as a bronzer, I'm NW20.

actually, I tried Petticoat on with a regular blush brush, 129, and it looked really good! 187 makes it more shimmery sometimes, a regular brush can bring out the colour more!

Glamqueen - Thanks for the tip!

I use the 188 because I use my MSFs primarily as highlighters. So the 188 allows me more control with the shimmery-ness of them.

I just ordered Petticoat and So Ceylon MSFs...I can't wait!!!

I'm a C4 in the winter and an NC42 in the summer...I had to get both because Petticoat gives me that rosy flush like I just came out of the cold and So Ceylon is a perfect blush for the summer....Anyone else out there that changes colors like I do?

Are there any peeps that have the same coloring as me? I would love to hear your thoughts/feedback on these two and Soft & Gentle too....

I think Gold Deposit might be too dark/orangey for you. I have it and am also NW20, and it is way dark on me, so if you got it you'd have to apply with a really light hand, but even still, it is kind of orange. lol. HTH!

 

[Shadowy Lady]

is there any NC30's out there that has Petticoat? I don't want to get it just for the hype....will Petticoat be better than So Ceylon?

I tried it out in the store. Normally I am NC/W20, but I just came back from three weeks vacation and now I would guess I am a 25?!
It is really pretty, something I did not expect. It is this rosy colour with this metallic effect to it. Hard to describe, but it is really very pretty.

 

[Hilly]

I just went to Macy's and the collection wont be sold til tomorrow. FYI

Yes!! I am NC 30, I have Petticoat and I love it! I passed So Ceylon so far.

 

[summer6310]

Is So Ceylon very similar to Warmed?

I think so, yes. I passed it b/c I have Warmed and like it.

i'd go with silver aura. silver dusk is much whiter and much much more sparkley. silver aura gives a light whiteish-pink shimmery glow.
