 Well I have both blushes.  I think I can make The Perfect Cheek work, I haven't really tried Legendary yet.  For reference I'm NC50 in MAC

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).

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!

That blush looks so lovely on you! It makes me want to order to see if I can pull it off.

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.

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 smiles.gif

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.

post #137 of 222
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.

Lol, thanks. I did have to layer it, used my 109 brush to apply and buff it in, but the outcome was pretty.
