I am NC45/C7. I use shooting star ( love it), naked you and porcelain pink ( i didn't think it would show up on me but trusted the MA and she was right) on the other hand, she refused to let me buy shimpagne. She told me it would not look good on me. Since i trust her, i passed. For the girls in NYC, the soho store still has all the amuse MSF.

So I just got Shimpagne and I'm not too impressed. It looks kinda ashy on me when I just apply it against my skin although there is that shine effect going on. It works best for me when I use moisturegleam and then Shimpagne afterwards. That's when I get the desired dewy glowy look. I don't think I'll repurchase though. I'm waiting to get shooting star since it's been stated that it's more appropriate for black skin. I hope I like it.

Can we post a list of what blushes will make the MSF's look better?
I have Metal Rock (glittermania) and Stereo Rose (STILL not sure I like it after changing my mind about trading it--it looks a bit ashy...

I have shooting star, shimpagne and porcelain pink MSFs. Off the top of my head, I've used shooting star and porcelain pink on top of premeditated or virgin isle cream color base, hunger red blushcreme, frankly scarlet, loverush and raizin blushes. I use 1 swipe from my 188 brush for each cheek. It gives a nice finish to my face. I also love using all of my msfs as brow highlighters and eye shadows. I am not a MUA, but I think the kind of brush you use could be causing the ashiness. I always got the ashy effect when using a regular brush such as MAC's 129 or 168 or Smashbox's blush brush #16. These brushes picked up too much product from the msf - even w/the lightest swipe. But I got excellent control when I switched to MAC's 188. I'm a firm believer in letting my brushes do the work and therefore, I achieve the results I want. Any eye shadow brush will do when using the msfs as shadows/brow highlighters; I've found you can't apply too much product there. My opinion of MAC's 187/188 brushes is that I use less product and achieve professional results -- I use them to apply liquid and powder products. Can't wait to receive glissade.

I love them all on me except for Stereo Rose. I use Shimpagne as an eyeshadow. I don't like my chances of having any luck with the multicolored MSF from Danse. It that Lightscape? Pffft. I'd be Ashy Larry, for sure.
I have one of the ones from the ? Amuse in Deep Dark and never use it. Dunno why? but it just never calls me. Sigh.

I agree. I'm NW45 and I have Metal Rock, Petticoat, Shimpagne, Shooting Star, and Naked You. All of which I can make work. I also had Porcelain Pink, but it looked too similar to things I already had.
Metal Rock I use with the softest, fluffiest brush I can find and use it as bronzer. Or I contour my cheekbones with it with my 168.
Petticoat has become my STAPLE. I've worn it almost everyday since I got it (Thanks to SumtingSweet!) It looks pretty on top of Raizin blush.
Shimpage I use with a very very light hand on my cheekbones over a deeper blush. I also use it to highlight the browbone.
Shooting Star is a bit nude, so I spritz my stippling brush with fix+ and it imparts a beautiful glow to the skin.
Naked You does fall apart (mine is broken, half of it is in a powder sifter and the bottom half is in the original container) and the glitter is a bit chunky, so I use it very lightly on my cheekbones over NARS Crazed blush.
Don't give up on them, you just have to work with them!

I'm NC50 and I had Metal Rock, So Ceylon, Stereo Rose, and Shooting Star. I only used them as blushes, and the finish was beautiful. But I'm allergic to every single one of them. GRRRRRR.

I love shooting star on my darker toned clients. Porcelain pink I like as a highlighter.

Re: MSF's
Well I haven't really seen anything about the newer MSFs, but I got on the bandwagon a little late. I really like my Gold Spill and during the summer used it for a nice luminous glow. I also like my Northern Lights. It's a wonderful frosty pink color without being ashy.
I got Glissade and thought it would be wonderful but I *hate* it. If anyone has good blush recs for this one, I'm willing to hear it otherwise I'm going to get rid of it. I also can't stand my Shimpange, it makes me like a grease bomb.

I wear So Ceylon nearly everyday - I can see myself eventually hitting the pan with this one. I also am loving the new Brunette MSF.
