hi ladies, i went an purchased a few things from the style warriors collection yesterday and i only picked up three things

but i want to go back and get the lustre drops of there not sold out. i found that bright force (yellow eyeshadow) is a mix between goldmine and chrome yellow so in the end I didn't end up getting any of the eyeshadows. I got both blushes and one lipstick....tell me what you guys got and what you recommened

I'm NC42 and I have Gerbera. It's a gorgeous color but I have big pores & uneven skin so it doesn't go on as smooth as I'd like. I still use it though and I found the best application is with a MAC 187 or any stippling brush. I usually set it with NARS Torrid or Gilda.

As far as it's similarities to Melba...I'm not really sure. I feel like Gerbera is much more bright than Melba. I think putting Melba over Gerbera would be gorgeous.

Hey which lipstick did you get? I keep thinking about getting Brave New Bronze..

And how do you like the beauty powder blushes? Are they pretty & worth getting or are there similar colors in the permanent line?

And the LUSTRE DROPS - they look so pretty! I really want them but I have no idea how you're supposed to use them. Are they supposed to be used as a highlight?

 

[highonmac]

islandlover - I got purple rite or something lol. I tried on brave new bronze, and I think it wasn't right for me but people with a lighter skin then me would suit it better. It would be the most perfect nude. I am nc45 so i pretty sure it would look lovely on you. I found that eversun is a cross of gingerly and cantaloupe and on a mission i think isss sooo pretty i really like!

Ah, okay, thanks! But does it show up as a blush on you? or do you have to use a blush on top of it?

It can definitely suffice as a blush on its own. For those no make-up or low maintenance days, it works well. For me, I just like to add blush on top sometimes to set it. I have oily skin so Gerbera sometimes can melt away throughout the day if I don't put a little powder blush on top.

Hope that helps!

No worries

So ladies, what kind of looks are you going to rock this summer?? Are you going to keep it natural, bronze it up etc?

I think i'm going to be using my Golden Bronze loose powder everyitme i wear make up this season so that i get that glowy bronzey look

 

[highonmac]

to be honest guys, i am a bit intimidated on bronzer, i am afraid im just gonna look more brown lol.

Probably just liner, blush, highlighter, maybe some of the lustre drops mixed in with the foundation

 

[animacani]

Really? I LOOOOVE bronzer , back in the times bronzer was the only think I used! My favorite one has got to be glow fusion bronzer in golden , it looks pretty light but once you put it on it gives me this gorgeous glow! Im just wondring something about Laguna , is it more yellow-toned or is it like a orangey shade?

 

[highonmac]

i was wondering the same thing. I was looking into laguna but do you think that casino would look better since i am an nc45?

 

[nunu]

Laguna has no orange undertone to it what so ever.

Laguna is on top and Golden bronze loose powder at the bottom.

Try the Golden Bronze loose powder. I'm nc43 and when i apply it, it doesn't add any brown to my skin, just a nice glowy sheen

I'll definately be using the lustre drops too!

 

[animacani]

^^Thanks alot Nunu! That was really helpful!
Okay , I need some help! I cannot decide wether I should get coppertone peaches or gingerly blush.. I really want to achieve this look:

 

[highonmac]

oohhhh that is soooo hawt. I would love to know. Gingerly is sort of like that on me, maybe you should give eversun a try! Sorry to ask again, but do you think casino would be best on my skin or laguna. Loved that swatches nunu but you look much lighter lol. I do not know if its the lighting, or maybe its my mistake
