Just wondering if anybody who owns Pink Cult blush is having the color show up a little too dark on the skin when in fact it is such a light pink? I'm NC35 so I was expecting just a little color but it's coming off insanely dark on my skin?

Pink Cult looks so light in the pan but comes out a lot darker on my cheeks too! But I knew this was the case when I bought it, I don't like light pinks. I wouldn't call it really dark though and I'm NC25ish. I love this blush!

^ I'm pretty pale (117 in mufe dunno my mac shade)but pink cult never looks dark on me. What brush are you using?
My Mac 188 brush and it's so ironic that it comes off dark with this brush because stippling brushes don't pick up much color? :shock:

I'm about a NARS Siberia. It does go on slightly darker than it looks in the pan, IMO. I've used a 116, a Sigma F40 (similar to a MAC 168), and e.l.f.'s flat-top powder brush to apply this; I think the F40 gives a lighter application. I have a brush similar to a 188, but I've not tried applying blush with it. I love this blush as well; it's my go-to.

I think Coygirl was d/c'd earlier this year. You might still be able to find it at a f/s store or counter. Good luck!

I have Coygirl too, but I don't use it that much. I use my limited edition and pro blushes much more than the 5 (4 if you don't count Coygirl) permanent blushes I have. I think Mac needs some new interesting permanent colours. I'm hoping the Office Hours blushes will fit the bill.

It is WAY darker on my cheek than in the pan. I think if you don't have a lot of pink tones, it really pops as pink-purple on warmer toned skin?

Hi chicas. So I went to my counter today and saw Lightscapade in a drawer.. and got really excited because I knew a lot of ppl love it. LOL. Little did I know before reading a lot of threads.. that it was repromoted.

Do you guys like the repromoted one? TIA!

Yip I think you're right, I am definately warm toned, but I'm not complaining about it, Pink Cult is a really beautiful color :)

MAC Asian Flower lippy is very, very close in tone. So I would not kill myself trying to get one. The finish is similar too, with the latter being a little creamier. I swatched them side by side--one on the top and the other on the bottom & could not tell them apart.
