How would you compare Hipness to Springsheen? My beloved pink-coral blush? Any swatches maybe?

Omg I know!!!!!!! Argh I just pick up something and don't even think about it and either buy it on impulse or sell it on impulse.

I need to stop. Bc I have products sitting in my room that I will never use.

Hipness is more coral pink with subtle gold while Springsheen is a coral-orange with high gold sheen. At least thats what it looks like on me and I am NC25.

^^^ Sounds like I will love Hipness! Thanks.

I'm wondering if I would love Hipness as much as everyone else, I usually don't wear neutral-ish blushes.
I guess I'm more of a *look at my pretty pink blush* person

I did just get [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Golden Dew Amber and [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Nectar Peach from La Femme a few days ago, I heard a lot of rave about them, and at that price, I thought I could try them out and see if it was a road I should follow

^^ I wouldn't call Hipness neutral-ish at all. It is a pop of pretty color and if not applied lightly can be a *look at my pretty pinky coral blush* type of blush.

ok the lighting isn't good because it's getting dark. but took the pictures when sat on the window ledge.

springsheen is on the left - my poor chunkless hipness is on the right!

hipness on top and springsheen on bottom

springsheen on left and hipness on the right.

springsheen has a fabulous gold shimmer and sheen and hipness is very pinky

Enabler you

I'm afraid I have to have it.

This will be the biggest collection for me, since my addiction started

I swatched them too in case anyone wants to know what they look like on NC25-30.

Springsheen (L) & Hipness (R)

hth!

 

[Susanne]

Thank you!!

Why did I not get Hipness with Fafi??

 

[LMD84]

I have a Canon digi and I love to use the Macro option to take swatches. Colors, textures come out exactly how it is when you take a pic using Macro.

 

[Susanne]

Thanks, Lou, too

I appreciate the swatches!

 

[MzzRach]

I need Hipness for sure. Right up my alley, and the other coral blushes I own have much more orange. I like the mix of coral and pink in Hipness a lot.

Thanks for the comparisons & swatches, ladies!

I'm very biased by Hipness because it was my first MAC purchase, so it has a special place in my heart. It is a gorgeous color that everyone should own. Even people who don't care for corals (like me).

aha! i should have put macro mode on then! for somebody who works with cameras i can't take good pictures at all!

 

[Susanne]

^^^ yes, the little tulip button for macro mode

My pics are so much better since I use this function.
