Soooo Danse is definitely not getting my money

[Tinkerbell9245]

I was unimpressed with the whole danse collection, I only bought 2 Glissades because I was afraid of running out of it. I was really looking forward to new pigments and was disappointed with them.

I thought the collection was pretty. But alas like so many colors I could not wear much of it with my auburn hair etc coloring. I did try the Glissade and was very dissapointed. You could not even see color on my skin, all you could see was glitter. It was so pretty in the compact.

ditto! I hate LOVING everything from a collection but feeling guilty about blowing all my money on it!

I was definitely disappointed in the colors of this collection, but also glad I didn't have to have anything because that's more money that stays in my pocket =)

I was planning just to get Glissade from this collection, because i thought all the other colours would look too pale on me....so much for that resolution ! I have Glissade, Lightscapade, which looks incredible as a highlighter and shimmery thing and Corps-de-ballet which is a perfect light neutral on me (NC40).

I think the Danse Collection is beautiful. I love the frosty/icy look of it and the ballet theme. Not to say that the Holiday Collection wasn't beautiful as well with the rich jewel tones.

Since I splurged on the Formal Black collection I couldn't afford anything from Danse, but I was still able to drool over it.

I think what would be boring is if all the collections were middle of the road and safe to try to please everyone.

I personally really liked this collection. The colors were just right for softer smokey looks that can be pulled off during the day (I'm an NC42). French Grey is my new HG color. Glissade and Lightscapade looked great on my skin. I personally was very happy!

why are so many people against light colors? I don't know why people are saying Danse is full of "neutrals" because there are no beiges or browns really, it's pastel colors which are not the same as neutrals. Seriously though, there's nothing wrong with preferring to wear makeup which does not dominate one's entire face. The point of makeup is not to make someone say "wow, nice makeup" but rather "wow, you look beautiful!" When makeup over-powers your face you are in trouble and you should consider toning it down a bit. Unless you're planning on taking up juggling and entertaining children at birthday parties.

Sorry for the rant but I am SICK and tired of people thinking makeup doesn't look good unless there are three layers of hideously bright blue and green and pink and six inches of goopy crud on the lips. This is obviously personal preference and I acknowledge that some people are happy with wearing tons of bright colors which is fine, but what's not fine is people saying "ugh, neutrals are ugly!" because guess what? My face is naturally neutral colors and my face without makeup is the most beautiful way it ever is. Same with everyone here! I hate to see some of the beautiful girls here wearing tons of makeup and I know that it is visually appealing but it's not for everyone and it's not the "ideal" for the average person's makeup.

Ok, end of rant I swear.

Unfortunately, i'm one of those girls that like bright color eye make up. and i swear that i look horrible without make up or with just very very light color make up.

I don't condemn people who wear pastels because it's mean to do so. but personally i just don't like wearing pastels because it's just don't look good on me.

I believe there are people who can take bright colors but yet can't take pastels which are too light for them. And that's me. Although i'm a NC20, somehow because of my facial features, pastel colors don't suit me all that well unless i match them with other brighter e/s.

Neutrals are pretty in their own way as well. and everyone has a right to their own personal preference. No one here is saying that make up is NOT good without your so called three layers of hideously bright blue and green and pink.

i'm quite offended with the word u used to describe bright colors as hideously actually. Because i'm a lover of bright color e/s.

I love the pigments and lightscapade from this collection. They are very wearable colors. I'm sorry for this frank reply but i need to voice out my thoughts.

besides, i'm only young once. If i'm not going to wear bright colors now, i will look more stupid when i wear bright color e/s when i'm in my fifties or sixties. Sorry for being frank here.

No, you're right that nobody says makeup is not pretty without tons of bright colors but there is definitely a trend toward preferring that kind of dramatic look over more natural and simple styles. You can see it in the number of comments that member's FOTDs get when they only use a couple of light colors versus those who take 600 pictures of themselves and use Parrot and Guacamole and every other LE high watt color they can get their hands on. People are impressed by the colors but in reality if you wear that kind of look out somewhere people will look at you funny. I certainly don't think there's anything wrong with people wearing blue or green but there is a limit that seems to be crossed and whether people are humoring them by telling them they look beautiful (which would be mean) or people actually like that, it bothers me that so many people think it's important to cover up their natural beauty with sometimes distracting colors. If that's what you're into then good for you, I have no problem with that, but when people come out and say that neutrals are ugly (which I've seen around here, not from you!) it's just ridiculous. It's like saying without blue and green on my face I look ugly. I've actually seen comments which imply that! It really bothers me and I only wish that people would appreciate what God gave them more.

nowadays i can't even be bothered to put on e/s anymore (even though i still love bright and colorful e/s a lot)...cause i'm too lazy already. it's just my blusher, highlighter, natural MSF and gloss.

This is the reason why i'm loving lightscapade msf so much cause it makes a difference to my face! My mum's friend commented that she liked how my skin was smooth and all. yay for lightscapade!

the reason why the shadows in danse don't stand out much for me is not because they are too pastel, but the colors look similar to what i already have. However, i admit that i kinda like jete. Nice neutral color which can go with lots of colors

p/s I don't entirely hate neutrals...in fact i've quite a number of neutrals which i highly adore such as naked lunch, all that glitters, sable, subtle pigment, nylon, shroom...etc. they are very versatile and look good when worn alone as well

however once in a while when i'm in the mood i'll still wear the crazier colors to school regardless of what others might say...lol

Well I actually wasnt TOO happy about Danse but I wast overly disappointed I bougt "glissade" n it gives me a beautiful skin finish.
