Ditto on the contouring....I'm an NC 30 in winter and I use Dark MSF to contour my cheeks, jawline and nose and then dust some Golden Bronze over my cheeks. Also, I like to use it as a blush the same way I would use Blunt. I use the #150 brush and start really far back near the top of my ear and blend forward.

Can anyone give tips on how to contour? I'm NC50 and I use MSF in Deep Dark and it gives me a good look especially when I use my Bronzer in Refined Deeper Bronze!

a friend of mine was kind enough to send me the MSFN in medium deep, and it matches beautifully. so thanks marielle78 and perple1 for the advice - totally appreciated.
I do find that the powder isn't applying well with my flat head brush. would a kabuki be best for this stuff? I've been looking to buy one anyways.

I'm an NC45-NC50 and have it in Dark. Some days I use it all over as a powder and some days I just use it on my cheeks as a contour alone.
I sometimes add Gold Spill or Shooting Star over the top of it to make me glow and just add mascara and nude lips.
I use the large MAC powder blush to apply it all over my face and when I'm contouring I use the MAC buffer brush on my cheeks aftewards to perfect my look.

Exactly. I have it and love it. I went to MAC looking for a bronzer and the MUA recommended that for use on the apples of my cheeks and lightly dusted over my face as a bronzer...also to use to contour my cheeks and nose. I'm NC50 and Deep Dark works great for me for this purpose.

You look like you'd be Medium Deep. You can always use Dark in the summer months when you wanna give yourself a believable tan. Either than that you can maybe use it as like a light bronzer.

thanks. I've been thinking of getting that one, but I don't really have the funds, so I may have to budget til then. I think its time for a trip to target.

how depressing. has anyone else had this problem? I saw a slight change of colour in my face, but overall, it wasn't bad or that noticeable at all.

The texture was great, it provided a nice finish to my made-up face but then -- approximately 2-3 hours later ---HELLO OOMPA LOOMPA!!! The red-orange face staring back at me in the mirror at work at the end of the day was purely embarrassing. Sadly I had to return it. This thing oxidizes like *%()!!! -- Caveat Emptor! |

I use med. on clients under nc/nw25. and med. dark for anyone deeper. med dark is soo forgiving. i <3 it and use it myself! (i'm nc50 or c7). Remember Tocara from ANTM? her mua uses med. dark msfn on her too!
i always thought dark was too orange, but i can't wait to try using it as a subtle bronzer and stuff on my clients. everyone on here is so fricken creative!

IDK if we are talking about the same MSF...the one with the dome or the one that just came out and it's loose powder? well i have the one that is loose powder and it's deep dark and i think it's way too dark for me...so i just use it around my outside edges and use another one as i come in closer to my eyes

there's a topic in this section about the loose version; Im not sure if its had many posts as of late. however, I have heard that some women feel that it washes them out. you should probably go a shade [maybe even two?] lighter, and see how well it works for you then.
