Try the scorching sun duo over NARS cream single Goldfinger or a gold cream base. Scorching Sun looks great with single Emanuelle (warm red) or Grenadines(cooler red) worked in. The green from the rated R duo works well in Scorching Sun as well. It reminds me of the green flash we get over the water as the sun goes down in Honolulu Harbor.
I swatched Tropic on Friday but I hated the glitter in it and couldn't justify buying it only to try and swipe the glitter off every time I wore it. Knowing me though I bet I end up getting it after all!! Looks like a fan brush purchase is needed.
I love Scorching Sun though! The MUA showed my friend just how versatile it was when applying other shades on top. I'm well and truly sold. It's fab and WILL be mine!!
