Here is a swatch that was posted online...I do not like Refined Deeper Bronze on me...it is very chalky Orangey vs Bronze on my skintone IMO
L to R - Iman Sheer Finish Bronzing Powder in Clay, Prescriptives Custom Blend Bronzer, NARS Casino, Stila Sun #3 (d/c but easy to find), Prescriptives Bronzing Trio in Dark, CARGO in Dark, and MAC Bronzing Powder in Refined Deeper Bronze

hmmm... could it possibly be because you all are NC?
i remember with X-Rocks from Neo Sci-Fi my friend who is NC55 was able to wear it as a blush and i thought, "o well it just HAS to fit me as well!" and i ended up only being able to wear it as a highlighter :-\
idk. maybe when i go back if they still have Eversun (and everything else for that matter) i'll try again and get a proper blush trial.
thanks again for your help!

I honestly think you should try it...Iam nw43/Nc45 and it is very good on me...and I have seen much darker women wear it and looks great...If you can wear Sunbasque you can wear Eversun
try it on your cheek not your hand....I think that is the sure test

Yes it's my older blog that I stopped updating when I started a new blog with my beauty addicted friend.
Honestly I have probably only worn that bronzer twice, it's just not one I reach for that often. I don't remember it being chalky. I'll have to rock it tomorrow. It's a tad darker than my CARGO one, but I prefer the texture and finish of the CARGO.
Those swatches are awful by the way. Everything looks so ashy and I swear they aren't, so don't be turned off Cocoa Sisters. I'll redo the swatches sometime in the near future.

i was afraid eversun wouldn't show up on me either. it looks so pale, but tish is right, its very pigmented, or pigmented enough for me. it looks gorgeous on my skin, because it looks the most natural. i kinda see it as a much more toned down version of NARS Taj Mahal blush. which is SUPER orange lol.

I know Erin probably gets tired of me using her as an example....However, she did a great look with SW items, Brave New bronze l/s, Gold rebel, Solar Riche and Eversun... I am so happy I got Solar Riche now...

Oh no!
I was so looking forward to buying BNB. Lightly Ripe from CoC is soooo not doing it for me, and Creme Cerise is too bleh for summer. Sigh... another one bites the dust. At least I save money this way by slashing my wishlist before the collection releases in the UK.

I love Solar Riche as well!! Great way to warm up your skin. And Eversun is great too. I should not have passed on it the first time it came out.
