MAC Tres Cheek discussion

I am NC 15.I bought all the blushes from TC apart from Pink Tea. I plan to get Pink Cult from Reel Sexy though. Do you think Pink Tea is a Must Have? I personally think I look better wearing LC and MM. I feel that FoJ and PP lean a bit too cold on my skin. Perhaps I was just too enthusiastic and apply less...
I did not get Pink Tea because lighter pinks would be difficult on my cheeks. (Although I am going to get Pink Cult.) Generally I lean to warm colours, but I can wear some cooler ones, especially if they are bright (like PP). I have worn each blush only once, next time I think I have to put some more LC so that it looks like a blush, not some vague colour on my cheeks.

We have very similar colourings and your blending and highlight I need lol
I don't mind sharing at all! I used MAC Wedge for the blending or transition color and for my brow bone highlight, I used a matte shadow #353 from Inglot. it's pretty close to Brule from mac when applied on me which is my go to but I ran out of that. I also tapped a bit of rice paper right below my arch. Hope that helps =)

I was a bit more generous with LC today as well. It's very pretty.

Since I am so eager to try them all I used FoJ with PP earlier this week. Later that day I wanted to try LC. I slapped it over FoJ and PP. Shocking! My husband asked me if my little daughter had done my make up.

I will try FoJ and PP once more with a lighter hand...

I just noticed u didnt only get advisor status....but u r an enabler! I wanna get midnight snack! :p ur fault totally
They (FOJ & PP) work very well layered with other stuff or buffed out for me. I am an NC15 in Winter, but more like NC22.5 in summer LOL. I also think it depends if you gravitate towards cool tones or warm tones, so if you don't like the cool tones, good reason to swap them or exchange. I prefer to swap, since I shudder to think of make up this quality being destroyed, but you have every right to return it if it isn't for you.
I don't think Pink Tea is a must, I would get Pink Cult instead if it came to a choice between those.

I have not used my IF yet, and it looks so boring in the pan. I don't want to swatch it if I decide to swap it. But I am hoping someone can tell me it transforms into something more dramatic on the skin...

Maybe I am just spoiled by the bright colors like PP, MM + Early Morning and Fresh Honey, the MB from Naturally?

IF is so great! I didn't even bother to get Pink Tea (too run of the mill) or Pink Cult (too powdery compared to Tres Cheek formula or the latest MBs). You know I'm NC15. IF goes on beautifully and subtly without being boring or too close to my naturally pink cheek - why I normally don't go in for stuff like PT or PC or Strada. Why even bother if they just look exactly the same as not wearing anything? IF along the cheekbones with a pop of brighter color from Fresh Honey, MM or even Lovecloud, Early Morning or Subtle Breeze on the apples is such a cute look.

Just in general, IF has been the blush I carry around in my purse for general daytime whatever looks and touch-ups, replacing the Naturally MBs, which I'd always get nervous about toting around for fear of shattering them. It's the nicest everyday blush of the whole collection, imo. BUST IT OUT, GIRL!

Seriously get it!
Totally off topic for this thread, but the Shop/Cook Fluidlines were the nicest products from the whole collection, even better than the lipsticks (which is saying something)! I'm going to back all 3 of them up before it's too late, and it usually takes me forever to go through Fluidlines.....

I am so glad you convinced me to get Hocus Pocus before and I even got a BU, I never BU eyeshadow. Ever.
Hocus pocus is great. Im gonna give my BU to my best make up buddy in Spain (since it wasnt released here). It's perfect and I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as i do!

I just got my back up Peony Petal. My counter was sold out of Lovecloud and Modern Mandarin now, but the other 4 were still available. I'm suprised how much stock they got. When i was on my way back it started to rain really bad and i was on my bicycle. I hate it when that happens.

It is great that you a BU of PP...it is so pretty!

I hope that you did not want to get BUs of LC and MM too and missed them....

Thanks:) I didn't want a BU of LC because i like PP more and i didn't get a BU of MM because it's so pigmented that i don't think i will ever run out of it. I think i'm done with this collection now. I'm really happy with all my lovely blushes
