I like the others MUCH more!

Oh, I love Dainty! It is my second fave after Pleasantry!

The ones I have to be careful in applying are Merrily and Love Thing. They are highly pigmented!

hmm i have eversun and was thinking about getting warm soul. Are they really that much alike?

I am NC35, and they looked exactly the same on me.

It may be a tad lighter but its the same color. Love Joy was like a darker Eversun.

P.S. i my MUA placed GLEEFUL on my cheeks and it looked great. He actually applied it wet with Fix plus and it showed up amazing on me.

Oh, I don't know which one to choose - Warm Soul or Nuance... They doesn't look orange, do they?

I have not tried Nuance, but I LOVE Warm Soul (NW15). I am afraid Nuance will be too orange so I haven't gotten it. But Warm Soul is almost a nude/pale bronzer type blush on me, and I really like it alot more than I thought I would

 

[Winthrop44]

^^ I think it depends on your undertones. Warm Soul did look orange on me but I have yellow undertones (NC15). Audrey & I are opposites. But I imagine Nuance would look much more orange on me.

I agree

I have heard others say Warm Soul was orange on them, so that's why I was hesitant to get it, but it has worked very well for me so far. Undertones definately make all the difference.

 

[darkishstar]

That's weird. I have yellow undertones, but Nuance doesn't show up orange on me. It's a nice peach subtle blush.

 

[Heiaken]

I'm NC15 and have Warm Soul and doesn't show up orange on me either..

 

[Marberry]

Thank you girls. I think I have to go to the store to try them on... I have pink undertones, but who knows how these blushes will show up on me...

You can do as Erine wrote, and match the blush with the eyeshadows, but after a while doing that, I felt to matchy-matchy, and I wanted more contrast in my face instead of looking all earthy/ pinkish/ peachy/cool&plummy etc so I started to use blushes that actually contrast my eyes. Today, for instance, I had a coppery eye with some gray violet (Illegal Cargo) in it, and The violet made it look cool, so I cheered it up with Merrily. (or actually, a Nouba blush that looks like Merrily..) Yesterday I wanted to contrast the warm copper, so I used True Romantic (which is close enough to Gentle). You don't have to go with the tone of the rest of your makeup, sometimes a different tone can actually lift the rest by being different.

Ok i'm going to put in my order for Nuance and Pleasantry. I have eversun and I'm going to trust you glamYOURus and I'm not going to get Warm Soul if they appear that much alike! That'll save me $25 bucks to spend my money on else where. woohoo!!

It depends on skin tone really. You should still try it out and see for yourself. I am NC35 and both WS and LJ both looked nearly identical on me and Eversun so that gave me two reasons not to buy them. I didn't get Nuance either b/c it looked like Hipness from Fafi on me (which I already have). CantAffordMAC had the same issue.

 

[Glassdoll]

Anyone has any confirmation as to which are the 3 shades which will not be coming back? I love these blushers and don't ever want to run out of them.

I can't wait for my order to come in now so i can play around with these things. i figured i would get nuance and pleasantry first since their LE. I'll get warm soul when it comes back if i really like it at that point.

I have a lot of yellow in my skin too, and Nuance was like Hipness on me...I dont even know what shade to call it now LOL. However I had to use a lot of Nuance to make it even show up....it was pretty ridonkulous

I finally wore Merrily today guys. i really like it. I used a bit too much but its weird...like I had red cheeks lol, it was really pretty. I liked how it looked with my skintone, and with my dark hair. I reeeeeeally cant wait to wear this in fall and winter....its h-o-t

I think it is Merrily, Nuance and Pleasantry that are never coming back....boo hoo

Still on the fence regarding Dainty. When I first swatched it I found it very pretty, but the second time I found it to be nothing special, even seemed slightly chalky.
I do need a pinky peach blush (since my blush collection consists of various shades of pink). Should I just get it now or wait until October?

Help? NW20, pink undertones.
