Um yeah I believed the hype, and I got it...but it's not showing up(between NC45/50)...what blushes are you ladies pairing this with? What brushes are you using? WTH am I missing?

I wear it on top of coral blushes such as Marine Life and Joie de Vivre as a highlight. I use a 187 and a light hand so it doesn't look too shimmery. I'm a NW50.

I wear it on top of pink blushes like dollymix.

It really works on top of pinks, peaches and coral toned blushes.

. You know what I find as well? Sometimes I think a product is not showing up but then in a different light it will appear and... well there it is after all.

I used it with Ambering Rose and it looked like a dream. The great thing about this MSF is that it doesn't have a lot of silver in it (I'm lookin' at you Glissade) so it will make the color of the blush brighter, not lighter. Stereo Rose is basically like Petticoat, but with less pink and more coral.

I'm pretty dark this summer (leaning towards NW50) but even in the winter, I can't get this to work to my satisfaction... I just use it (foiled with Fix+) as a shadow.

I have worn Stereo Rose with Dollymix, Shell Pearl BP, By Candlelight MSF and with Hipness blush. Gorgeous I tell you!

Ooh fab combo, I'm gonna try that tomorrow. I love Petticoat and Glissade and have kinda neglected Stereo Rose because the hype soon wore off after I bought it. It may be reignited in the morning though

I am glad that you made this post because I am struggling with Stereo Rose too. On my NC50 skin tone this does not work well anywhere on my face.

Exactly what nunu said...

I have tried Stereo rose with Spaced out, Gingerly, Ambering rose, Peachtwist and Band of Roses. Love it with NARS Deep Throat!

Also use it by itself with the coral part of Refined MSF as a highlight. <3
I use my 187 to apply it.

Also, I use the powdery fallout as an eyeshadow on the lid with coppering lightly in the crease.

Sigh... Wish I'd bought this MSF before it sold out. Damn me and my obsessive budgeting ways!

I feel bad for a lot of WOC who rushed out to buy this because it truly is overhyped...but you don't believe that until you see it. It's ok....but it's not a "must have". When I use it (which isn't often) I dust it over a matte peach blush or along the tops of my cheekbones when I wear a peach blush. Most WOC are not going to be able to wear it as a blush because it's not pigmented enough. To be honest, I like using Style blush as a cheek highlight with peach blush better but Stereo Rose works too.

Agreed.

for the record, I felt a lil bad about panning it a while back and recetly, so I gave it a couple more spins on my cheeks this weekend; over Ben Nye Creme Rouge in Blush Coral...I'm thinking this is the only way it works for me, over a similarly colored cream blush. It wasn't impressive, but it was much better than all my previous attempts alone and with powdered blushes.
