Re: NC43/44 where you at?

Hi nunu and sexychef! Yay I'm not alone =]

Can I ask you ladies what are some of your fave products as far as blush and lipsticks? And how do you feel about IPP's I'm thinking of investing in some.

Re: NC43/44 where you at?

I like Lorac's Cheek stamp blush in Coral

We look surprisingly good in bright pinks and corals.

IPP- Sassed-up from the FAFI collection
Mac Blush- both blushes from FAFI look great on me.
MUFE (Make up Forever) Blush Scarlet #99 is nice and is originally labeled a blush. When applied with a light hand is gorgeous, but has intense pigmentation that I will use for an eyeshadow as well, but not both at the same time.

Lipstick: Nars "Fire Down Below" Matte Red
MAC "4n" N collection, neutral

Re: NC43/44 where you at?

MAC Currant Lip pencil
MAC Viva Glam- All work for me
Prescriptives- "Purple Prose" Lipstick
Nars- "Hindu" goes on sooo sheer, like a moisturizing lip stain
MAC- "Budding" gloss
MAC- "Dubonnet"- Matte Red
MAC- "Totally It" Lip Gloss- FAFI
MAC- "Chai" L/G- neutral
MAC- "Squeeze It"- FAFI

I have so many that work, but these I like because I can either go bold lip, neutral eye or bold eye, neutral lip, pop of coral or pink on the cheeks

Re: NC43/44 where you at?

Sexy Chef thanks! I just brought some of that stuff so I must be on the right track, I was scared of sassed up, but now Im def going to get that.

Ive never seen any MUFE anywhere but Ill look once my nearest sephora is relocated.. I cant wait to go back to mac now YOU have def been such a help I was scared that some of those colors would be too bright on me because the MA never suggest it and when I ask they always look at me like "u cant be serious"

Re: NC43/44 where you at?

Hi there,

I'm an NC43, though I don't wear MAC foundation anymore. I use MUFE Mat Velvet, works much better for my oily/acne-prone skin.

I second the rec above, we do look great in bright pinks and corals. I've got about a million favorite lippies and blushes, but I'll narrow it down to my must-haves. I tried not to pick LE products, since I hate getting a rec for a product I can't find.

Blushes

MAC Ambering Rose
MAC Slave to Love
MAC Deep Plum
MAC Frankley Scarlett
MAC Dollymix

NARS Gina
NARS Lovejoy
NARS Sin (Love this one sooo much)
NARS Gilda
NARS Taos

Lippies - I don't wear much MAC lippies anymore, so here are all my recs

Chanel Giggle Glossimer - The only non-shimmery one and a gorgeous medium pink shade.
MAC Ultra Elegant Slimshine - The perfect peachy-beige for our skintone and they feel amazing.
MAC Underplay - Lovely nude
MAC Dubonnet - Great matte red
MAC Viva Glam - V lipglass, VI lipstick and lipgloss
NARS glosses - Chantico, Metis, Stolen Kisses, Chihuahua, Indian Red (lipstain)
NARS lipsticks - Gipsy, Porte Vecchio, Pigalle


Ok, whew! Hope that wasn't too many recs. Enjoy!

Re: NC43/44 where you at?

Hi.....I am a NC43 too!! I guess I'm the only blond one.....;-)

But my dad was born in Indonesia, so my skin is darker then most blond girls.

I will try to find out what my favourite colours are....I'll get back to you. But one thing comes to mind right now:

L/s 4N, the perfect natural lipstick for me
L/s Lollipop Loving & Sock hop l/g from heatherette are also great
BP blushes Eversun, Joyous & Secret Blush
all the msf's (I have them all except Pleasureflush and use them every day!)

Dollymix is the perfect pink blush. Im NC45 and it looks so cute. It add such a great cute pink glow to your face. Let me tell you, I have spent $25 on NARS blushes only to find that MAC is the only one that seems to stay better. I like using a cream colour bases under my blushes too.
also try Joyous from the Beauty Powder Blushes
