Re: Your Favourite/Worst MSF

Love:

Petticoat: This colour was made for me, I swear!!

Glissade: It's just beautiful, and gives me a healty-I'm not wearing makeup-glow

Loathe:

Metal Rock: way too dark for me. It just looks gross!

Shooting Star: Again, too dark for me, and brownish taupe blushes are icky on me.

Re: Your Favourite/Worst MSF

Love:
Shooting Star - it look gorgeous on me! it just gives me that summer time glow not that I tan ANYWAY...but it makes me pretend that I do

Stereo Rose - it's the perfect blush for my skintone (NW15) and it looks great no matter what I do

Petticoat - it's such a pretty color and makes a gorgeous blush!

Loathe:
Shimpage - blech - I look like a grease monkey! No thanks...

Glissade - well, ok, I don't loathe it exactly but it is way too glittery for my personal tastes. While it looks beautiful in the pot, on my face it's a different story.

Re: Your Favourite/Worst MSF

Love: Gold Deposit. MAC if you are listening PLEASE bring this one back! It is my favorite bronzer. I also love my Petticoat because it gives me a nice pinky glow.

Don't love as much: I don't really loathe any MSF, because I can find a good use for all of them. Metal Rock is the hardest for me because it is so dark.

Re: Your Favourite/Worst MSF

I haven't tried that many but out of the ones that I have tried:

Love:
Lightscapade
Glissade
Petticoat (though I only have the reminants of someone's broken one crushed into a powder)

Hate:
Porcelain Pink

I'm an NC15 for reference

Re: Your Favourite/Worst MSF

Shooting Star and Porcelain Pink... just love these... SS b/c it is a great bronzer for me (only if I already have some color/summertime) and PP is nice and glowy for fairer skins

I looove the color of Metal Rock, but I have to use such a light hand that it nearly isn't worth the effort... otherwise, I really want to love it, but I'm so dang fair skinned--I just like to look at it.

post #14 of 171

Re: Your Favourite/Worst MSF

LOVE

Glissade - mine really isnt glittery at all, id say the shimmer isnt as finely milled as some others (id compare the level of shimmer in glissade to be like petticoat) and that it is more 'sparkly' than glittery. i'm an NC30-35 and glissade gives me a lovely glowy, light peach colour

So Ceylon - LOVE the finish on this; very smooth and glowy. it's a pinky milk chocolate colour and comes up as a very pretty rosey bronze on me - not quite a bronzer, not quite a blush

Stereo Rose - the finish on this is the same as So Ceylon. SR looks very rosey coral in the pan, but when applied gives a gorgeous coral peach colour

Porcelain Pink - yeah, it hardly shows up on me either but it is probably the one i reach for the most because it is so soft and glowy. i'm currently studying sport science and most girls wear little to no makeup, so porcelain pink is great for when i dont want to 'look as though im wearing any makeup'

HATE

Naked You - mine is an absolute glitter fest. and when i say glittery, i mean that it is the size of kids craft glitter. these are massive particles and ive tried to rub out all the platinum veining in mine but it is everywhere!

Gold Deposit - it's like swiping Amber Lights eyeshadow on your cheeks but less pretty and more garish. the gold shimmers are the same size as the ones in glissade and petticoat but seem to stand out more

Shimpagne - this is frostville on my face; very silvery! i was hoping for a nice warm beige colour and yet i got this cool toned MSF instead. makes a nice cheekbone highlight and eyeshadow though

OTHERS

Petticoat - very pretty but i dont LOVE it. if i hit the gold veining it can be a bit too sparkly. i think warmer colours suit me better

New Vegas - wanted this for sooo long and i dont reach for it much. gives a similar frosty finish to shimpagne but the colour is a buttery gold colour. i was hoping for something more like NARS Albatross

Lightscapade - also very pretty but it's not unique. has a smooth texture like stereo rose and so ceylon. quite versatile

Shooting Star - this is what i use as a bronzer but i dont think it's heaps special. doesnt go orange on me though; comes out more tan

Metal Rock - looks very dark, almost black. it's a touch glittery (gold particles) but if you use this carefully with the 187, it is a gorgeous colour! i only lightly sweep the 187 over the skinfinish ONCE and use that amount for both of my cheeks. can look muddy if you use any more product than that. if you do it properly, it contours perfectly and gives a really polished look

WANT

Pleasureflush (HA! never gonna get that one)

Re: Your Favourite/Worst MSF

Love:
Porcelain Pink, Stereo Rose, Petticoat and Lightscapade

Meh:
Glissade. I don't know if it's just the one I'm using right now in particular that's glittery or what, but it's almost too much for my face.

Re: Your Favourite/Worst MSF

LOVE!!!!!!
porcelain pink. i have 3 backups because it's my absolute HG. i'm nc20-25ish and it's just the right amount of pink to make me look healthy but not fake. and i love the glow it gives.

LIKE
petticoat. it can be insanely intense and dark on my skin if i'm not careful but it's beautiful nonetheless. i don't use it as much as PP because i have to have proper lighting and be super careful when i use it but by the time i get to the 'blush' step in my makeup routine i'm in too much of a hurry to be petticoat-careful!
glissade. it's like a happy middle between petticoat and porcelain pink. it's not as light as PP but not as harsh as petticoat can be. really sparkley though so i have to watch out for that.

LEARNING TO LIKE...
lightscapade. i haven't played with it that much but i'm not too into highlighters right now.
shimpagne & naked you. have them coming so i haven't tried them yet, but am anxious to.

DON'T GET THE HYPE AROUND...
stereo rose. but i'm not into corals at all, which is a good thing because i'd hate to be lusting over a product that's near impossible to get.
pleasureflush. doesn't seem that unique of a product. people's description of its finish sounds like how porcelain pink is on me, so i'm not dying to get my paws on this one.

DON'T WANT...
any of the other ones, i look awful in bronzers.

Re: Your Favourite/Worst MSF

LOVE

1. Natural msf - creates a smooth matte finish on my face, a great substitute for pressed powder

2. Lightscapade msf - a GREAT highlighter..in fact it has become my
HG highlighter. Can be worn all over the lid as a eyeshadow as well.

3. Petticoat - i like how it looks in the pan, but i gotta becareful with this as its pretty pigmented

ON THE FENCE

1. Glissade - i'm on the fence for this, it's not really pigmented and it's really sparkling.....so i don't know...

2. Porcelain pink - This is very very light.....i gotta layer it at least 4 times before it appears on my face....

Re: Your Favourite/Worst MSF

i only have four lol

LOVE:

Glissade - it's a gorgey glowy colour for my cheeks plus its gorgeous over Pink Swoon Blush (someone recommended it)

Porcelain Pink - I use this regularly and it adds a bit of shimmer to my cheeks

Lightscapade - Great for highlighting and to use over darker blushes

LOATHE

Shooting Star - I got this b/c it was my first MSF and i wanted one and tbh i wish i didnt get it, its way to dark for my skin (NC15) but my Mom has darker skintone to me (NW25?) so she uses it. I use it for e/s
