I have Petticoat and I wear it on my blush.I don't wear foundation or concealer,either.I don't think you need primer

[thespry]

Does the shimmery side of the compare to a standard ?

[just_jill325]

is the MSF comparable or similar to the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick's?

[fahllenangel]

i am in love with MSF's, my issue is that i am so novice at using them

my new favs are lightscapade and stereo rose, they are gorgeous....any tips on fun ways to use them?

i want more then just a blush

[allison1998]

Does New Vegas have alot of sparkle to it? I am new to using MSFs so I am not sure if I want it or not.

[moonlit]

I still need to do this! I will do this in the week.

Can we get an updated list of all MSF's made, to date?

I would like to second that notion!

[cetati]

I feel that the MSFs do need some sort of primer... Petticoat, when applied, is really powdery and comes off too easily if I touch my face.

I don't think these are similar to Bobbi Brown's Shimmer Bricks at all. They're different kinds of shimmer/highlighting.

I have never heard of one called Negligee. I have them all unless I am missing one.

[Heiaken]

Negligee is a lipglass to my knowledge.

Oops...I'll remove it from the list...must have spaced out on that one...lol

[nichollecaren]

I've been searching for shooting star...on a budget. I see it on ebay for like, 50.00...WHYYYY????!!!???!!!

I have gold deposit...its pretty but extremely glittery, not what I was hoping for. On the MAC site they recommend Copper Sparkle pigment as a replacement. Can anybody attest to this? I'd love to see swatches if anybody happens to have them both pleeeze?

[ELEMNOP]

I recently bought Gold Deposit. My first MSF! Yay me!

I just have a question. I bought the fix+ and I'm not quite sure what we need it for. I was thinking of returning it. Do you prefer the MSFs wet or dry?

Any help would be appreciated.

[Heiaken]

Use MSF's usually dry but I like stipling Fix+ wiht the 187 over my finishing powder for a more glowy look.

[PaleBeauty6]

I have 2 MSF's I got both at the cco near me. I have Light Flush, and I also have the natural one with half shimmer in light medium I think. I love them both.

[gurlnextdoor]

I really want to try these, I played with them a little today at my MAC store, but I opted for the new foundation instead....that stuff is the TRUTH!

I would NOT suggest using copper sparkle pigment as a replacement to Shooting star. They are two entirely different colors for one.

Try checking in the clearance bin here on Specktra as a few people have some listed for sale for not a lot of money.

I will swatch copper sparkle vs Shooting Star for you when I get home from work today.

What shade of MSF Natural would work best for an NC15?

light.

[iheartmu]

What would be a good recommendation for someone just starting out with MAC MSF...what shade would be a good, well rounded, starter?

[nightinggale07]

I have petticoat and, this may sound strange but, I use it all over my face. I put it on my cheekbones, temples, chin and on the bridge of my nose. It makes me look more alert and the added pinky tone really brightens up my face!

Depends on what shades your interested in and what you want to use it for. I think the BBR MSF are well rounded for the fact that it's a degrade. you can change the color just by chosing what to go with. I love my Redhead one. It's pinkish/golden/peachy just depends on how you use it. Also Soft and Gentle is a great one you can use it for just about anything.
