MSF's for WOC

post #1 of 280
Thread Starter 
Which MSF's do you like on darker skin tones?
post #2 of 280
Well, I'm an NC 44, but my mother is an NW 44 or so, and I use my MSFs on her. I have Porcelain Pink, which adds a really rosey type glow when appplied lightly to her cheeks. I've also used Shooting Star, but it looks more nude. Those are the only two I have, but I hth.

Really? Procelain Pink on NW44? it doesnt turn ashy looking does it?

Niki girl whats wrong with you not breaking open Naked You yet?! ha ha

I dunno, Porcelain Pink looks ashy on me. But I love Petticoat and Metal Rock is nice with a light hand. Shooting Star wasn't so great either, it blended in with my skin too much...

I've tried most of them, but my favorite is and will always be So Ceylon. All the other ones looked crappy on me, including the Avant Gold ones.

I used the Porcelain Pink over Blunt blush with a really light hand: it provided a nice rosey glow. I hadn't tried it on her alone. My mother really liked how it looked on her, I wish I had pictures.

I tried Shimpagne and that definitely looked ashy on me. I just remembered that's why I didn't buy it.

Thanks for the heads-up. I trust your judgment.

NW 45 and StereoRose is the only one that looks ashy on me, Petticoat just doesn't look right

Actualy i think they all can look good on dark skin tones. I can realy use all of the msfs. Some colors can be great as blushes and other might look better as higlighters. I'm an nc44 girl
post #14 of 280
my favorites are naked you(guess i got one of the good ones), gold deposit and pp. i have, but haven't really worn yet, petticoat, so ceylon, metal rock and shooting star. i'll get around to using them eventually. i'm golden in bobbi brown foundation, stila h. i don't use mac foundation.

I Totally Agree With You Girlie! It All Depend Upon What You Are Using As A Base Withe MSF. Some Products Just Turn Ashy Because If It Is Just Worn Alone But If Mixed Into Another Product Then The Color Payoff Is Awesome!

I totally agree! The biggest problem I have with MSF's is them staying on with oily skin and making it look natural . My newest love is Aveda Shimmer Accents. I wish I had discovered this first instead of purchasing 4-5 of the MSF's.
post #17 of 280
I am a NC 44-45 and I love Metal rock (wonderful bronzer!) Gold deposit (gold and glittery) So ceylon (warm copper bronze). Shooting star did not show up very well...just a little nude shimmer. I am waiting on Stereo rose...so I will report later!

i was sceared of Metal Rock at first lol! but i got it anyway and i love it!. Such a great msf! This msf makes a gorgeous eyeshadow too . If you aply it with light hand, it can lok gorgeous as a bronzer or blush. New vegas or another light-msf as higlighter on top of it looks awesome imho!

Gold Deposit is love! i still have to gt co ceylon though.

post #26 of 280
I'm an NC43 and I wear So Ceylon (Fav),Stereo rose ,Gold deposit ,Porcelain Pink,and Shooting Star . They all look pretty nice .Petticoat was too pink for my taste
post #27 of 280
i only have porcelain pink. i wanted shooting star but my store was out, but porcelain pink looks good on top of loverush blush and by itself with blunt to contour.
post #28 of 280
I am NC45/C7. I use shooting star ( love it), naked you and porcelain pink ( i didn't think it would show up on me but trusted the MA and she was right) on the other hand, she refused to let me buy shimpagne. She told me it would not look good on me. Since i trust her, i passed. For the girls in NYC, the soho store still has all the amuse MSF.
post #29 of 280
So I just got Shimpagne and I'm not too impressed. It looks kinda ashy on me when I just apply it against my skin although there is that shine effect going on. It works best for me when I use moisturegleam and then Shimpagne afterwards. That's when I get the desired dewy glowy look. I don't think I'll repurchase though. I'm waiting to get shooting star since it's been stated that it's more appropriate for black skin. I hope I like it.
post #30 of 280
Can we post a list of what blushes will make the MSF's look better?

I have Metal Rock (glittermania) and Stereo Rose (STILL not sure I like it after changing my mind about trading it--it looks a bit ashy...
