I can't decide which SF I want. I think I will wait for more pictures....or.... just the the lightest one?

Depends what you want to use it for: highlighting or all-over. I would opt for the latter option as it is a great Spring/Summer look. For just highlighting, it might be a bit too much, unless you sheer it out completely, in which case you can probably skip it. :)

Is there a specific brush you would recommend for applying these SF's all over?

i never do all over (hardly do...not never) cos over airbrush i CANNOT put ANY powder of it looks cakey as hell, its like my skin can't handle it. So....it would be a highlight or a blush/bonze wash on cheeks. Keep in mind I have gold deposit :p and Peal, and rose quarts, lightscapade, porcelain pink, and stereo rose. :p

Maybe you can skip then? The EDSF might look odd if you just use them as a highlight only (maybe it works if you do a combined highlight/blush application).

I feel like I need all of the es because I kicked myself for missing out on Peacocky es with that formula.

I feel the same way! I think Peacocky/Mega Metals was the first time I attempted to be selective and limited myself to 5 shadows. I have regretted that decision ever since. If I can swing it, I'm getting what I want. So far, I haven't been able to eliminate any shadows. They all look nice.

Thank you MAC Guy for the swatches! Egads, I think I want Warm Thunder, Havanna, Sweet Heat, Dark Dare and maybe one of the MDSF--the one in the middle.

Thanks for the swatches, MacGuy!

The more I see the more it looks like I'll just wind up with the brushes from this collection. I've already got Guerlain's Cruel Gardenia highlighter (and a few from NARS) so I need another like I need a hole in the head.

Yes, I also tell people to skip things if I know they won't get much use out of a product. :) Money saved to spend on other things.

I def dont want skippers remorse. They just seem so frosty.


You might want to try at least one SF. They are very innovative in terms of new technologies and formulas, so you don't want to miss out.

But I know it is hard to budget, especially as so many collections come out at once.
Thats pretty much why I wanted to skip cause I plan on getting more of the shadows, but I dont want to miss out.

My apologies if my swatches aren't very clear. I always have a hard time getting them to show up well on camera.
