I've been trying to figure out what my pink lipsticks would be. I think I'll probably alternate between polish and lipstick to make it work. I'm not sure if Love Goddess counts since it's actually more red with hints of pink.
Yeah - I wanted to do LG as well. I think I'm going to follow the suggestion someone posted on the main MM thread and do a pink eye and cheek and wear LG.

I have a long list of pinks, most of them are MAC.

Right now I'm wearing St. Germain w/Magenta l/l and VG Gaga I gloss.

This is a gorgeous look!

Love it!

I usually wear SG w/Plum liner and VG SE VI LG (the one Fergie promoted).

So, I'll need to come up with an excuse for why I won't be at work on Thursday morning because I simply must have Deeply Adored. What do you ladies think the top 2 lippies for WOC to grab? I'm trying to limit myself to 2 since I plan on spending a crap ton of $$ on GlamourDaze.
The Top 2 - that is a hard question:

I think it depends on what you like to wear and will wear on a regular basis.

Personally, I love Deeply Adored and Love Goddess thus far.

No, I won't lie.

I love all 4 of the reds.

My sister tried on Pure Zen and it is gorgeous!

I'm def going to B2M for that one when I get enough empties.

So I think all of the lippies are a must have!

Sorry I couldn't help!

I know u werent addressing me but I do believe L G is most definitely Dupeable... There is a similar Rimmel Kate Moss l/s that IMO has a way better color payoff and finish... Just sayin lol

Yes, I actually took some lipsticks with me to the store to see if I already had dupes in my collection and Kate Moss' #9 was thisclose to LG on me. It helped that it was close in color as I would've been sad because they had to sell the LG they tried to hold for me.

What do you all think about the blushes for our skin tones??
I don't feel like they would show up on anyone my complextion. It's Marilyn Monroe makeup, I'm not surprise they are so light. I'm sure they will work on some people. It all depends on your undertone.

I like The perfect cheek on me...I need to pick it up if I can get my hands on it, but I tried it when it first came out and it showed pretty nicely after I built up the color. I am an NC45-NC50 for reference.

I'm no help either. I'm still trying to come up with an answer. I think they each offer something different. However, Love Goddess and Deeply Adored seem to be the two most popular since they keep selling out first.

I see sum of the ladies made it work 4 them and the pix r lovely but BOTH the blushes gave me Ashcake Ashley so they r a huge pass 4 me... I was told by a MAC associate that often times WOC have to "layer" for things to show up... Thats just way too much work 4 me but u girls enjoy :)

Re MM BP for WOC:

I think it also depends on the brush you use. I read on the main MM thread that a WOC used a fan brush to apply the bp to her cheeks as a highlight.

It picks up just a hint of color and highlights.

I am def going to try that.

I also have light msfs like Porcelain Pink and Lightscapade that I use with different brushes.

It all depends on how and what you apply with.

I tried the BP for the second time yesterday and it's still a disaster. The pink undertone in it just doesn't work. It comes off ashy. If I buff it in, it looks vaguely ashy and if I build it up it looks like I'm in desperate need of moisturizer. This and Legendary blush are going back this week. I'm about NC45 as a reference.

Lol, I had a friend tell me a few days ago that the word "disaster" breaks down to mean far from God. So I found extra humor in your comment.

That would sum up this BP, to be honest. Instead of that heavenly glow it looks like I crawled straight out of hell.
