I don't think it would be pigmented enough for a blush. But you could wear it like one and it would just give you a sheer shimmer... just not really any color. I am NW25 and it doesn't show up pink really on me at all.. but it's a gorgoues sheer highlighter. HOpe this helps.

I can wear it as blush, I'm a NC15. If I want a little more depth I add some contour and it really pops! Actually I have it on in my avatar. <

Yes for Butternutty! It works well under so many shadows, this would be a good first.

Agreed! I love this one

 

[blinkymei]

I <3 BUTTERNUTTY!

butternutty was my first shadestick because I really did not like how the other prior shadesticks really tugged on my eyelids. The color is great too for everyday, which is definitely another plus!

 

[GlamQueen21]

^Me too. It's my first shadestick since I don't own any and I will definately will use it everyday.

^^ I use Beige-Ing every single day...I have about 6 or seven I use them so much...whenever I see them at the CCO for $10 I grab 2-3 ..I personally love shadesticks..they are so convenient

Okay guys ... I am not a happy camper. Against better judgment I went to a counter. I have no willpower at counters.. I need to order online.. I know this. But I was browsing in Macy's.. anyway.. I got

Tasty l/g
Simply Delicious l/g
Refined MSF

I tested the l/g on my hand.. they all seemed to have a good amount of color. I'm not into glittery/glitsy lipglosses.. so that was fine for me that they were sheer.. well I get mine home..and after mixing them around.. I can only still seem to draw out CLEAR?

What's wrong with mine? I'm digging it all the way in the bottom to the most colored part!


ETA:.. I'm happy with Refined I guess.. I am an MSF freak... they all probably look alike.. but my inner make up junkie has decided not to care...

 

[TISH1124]

The glosses gave me little to no color...so I'm useless

Aww thanks.. maybe it's the applicator.. I tested with the little brush things.. not the doefoot it comes with.. but I had "heavier" color in the store.. maybe the DF doesn't allow it to pick up color good.. I want to make these things work.. darnit! LOL!

Someone earlier mentioned removing the plastic piece on top and mixing it all together to get more color.

It looks great! What did you use to contour? That is a really nice color on you

I am staying strong, I just got Peppermint Patti from this collection.

 

[GlamQueen21]

I'm now officially done with this collection. I got what I wanted from this collection.

 

[TISH1124]

^^ Me too!!

 

[ABB113]

^^ Saaame here!

I sort of still want butternutty, lemon chiffon, and sweet thing but I think that I am going to try and resist. I am kind of starting to crack on sweet thing because my mom bought herself a tube and I love the color.

 

[TISH1124]

^^ Katie I didn't get Butternutty....But I had already gotten Cakeshop and Lemon Chiffon Initially.....I am stopping with what I have

 

[coachkitten]

Tish would you consider cake shot and lemon chiffon must haves?
