hey hun, I think raizin could be a nice contour...but its a little reddish I think..
try it with a stippling blush and use as a blush...it'll tone down the color a bit...also try layering with highliters and lighter blushes till you find that sweet spot. But if you feel like you just cant make it work, return that baby! lol
what brush are you using right now? try a dab with the 187 or a light hand with the 181...HTH

shaista1985 - I know coralistic blush is really pretty. It's a cool based coral. I was more drawn to Cargo Rome blush....I just recently bought it..it's amazing! I love the gold sheen it gives off and it's nice that there are no gold sparkles in it (like orgasm). I can't believe I didn't buy Rome blush earlier...it's truly a MUST HAVE! The tin is HUGE! Whoa...it will last forever!

Also, I was actually eyeing that new pink BB platinum shimmerbrick earlier. I wonder how it's compared to their other pink one. I asked the MA online if it's ok for indian skintones and she said its fine....then again, we gotta go try it on first just to be sure. lol

Ziya - I never tried Exibit A but I know it's really popular for people who are darker than us. I'm not too much into the red blushes as much but I do have some pretty ones. I think your first Nars blushes should be Desire(pink) and Torrid (coral)!!!!

 

[Ziya]

Ooohhhh gold SHIMMER not SPARKLES! you got me Zerin that baby is mine!
haha I love how you picked out my colors and everything! Thank you sweetheart! I completely agree! How similar is Torrid to Melba? is there any colors it might be similar to from the MAC line..? just in case I already have something similar

thanks in advance!

I really didnt like the silver/coolness of Coralista... I was really looking forward to it, but it disappointed.

 

[zerin]

Shaista - Rome and Coralistic are totally different. Rome is warm and Coralistic is cool with some frost. Both are pretty!

Did you guys get to see actual swatches of the new vivaglam lippies???

 

[DirtyPlum]

Zerin - I tried the new VG lipstick and its perfect for desis! Everyone should buy it! Cant wait for it to launch
