i want superb!
Which one did you order?
i want superb!
That's what I would do, except that I'd use two brushes. At twenty bucks a piece, I want to keep my products in good shape.In all 100% honesty, I absolutely LOVE foiling eyeshadows and these are beautiful wet. But, I NEVER ever ever ever dip a wet brush in my eyeshadow, no matter what it is (if it's pressed) and if it says that you can. I had an expensive shadow and it said you could use it wet or dry and when I would use it and dip a wet brush on it (not soaked, but damp) it built up and got ruined. However, I have heard that you can take off that top layer and it would be fine again, but I just don't like risking it anymore. So, what I do is PACK my brush up with the color and then spritz fix+ or water on the brush, apply it to my eye, and then I use the other side of the brush. Granted, this may seem tedious, and you would use 2 brushes, but it saves my eyeshadow and I'd rather do that then using 2 brushes.
Anyway, I'm off my soap box now. HAHA!
oops I foiled blue orbit and used a wet brush.... it didn't do any damage lol but I'm not risking it again
thanks! I've saved it lol it's as good as new. I'll just use a good base to make it popOnce it is dry, take a clean brush and swirl on the surface to take away any (invisible) residue from the foiling. Doing it now will extend the life of you ED e/s. Good luck!
I thought this was supposed to be released on April 4 at the counters in america. I went to my Macy's counter today and they're not launching it until tomorrow.![]()
By the way, I have Dior Amber Diamond and it's my holy grail highlighter, but I don't want anything similar to that. I'm still indecisive about Superb and Whisper of Gilt.
I have not seen the other shades, but Grand Galaxy is gorgeous! I have nothing else like that, it's not red-purple like most of purple eyeshadows, it's a dark muted indigo purple. It's very wearable.

Have you seen my swatches? Dior Amber Diamond is slightly darker and more bronze, and less shimmery. WoG and Superb are too shimmery for me.
My skin tone change all the time, depending if I use self tanner.. sometimes I'm an NC15, sometimes C40. lol But I try to keep the same 'tan' on my skin when I do swatches, about NC35 with olive undertones. Dior Amber Diamond does look dark on my skin, but I applied about 4 layers of each color because it didn't want to show up in my pictures. On my cheeks, it's much lighter. Superb is darker than Amber Diamond and Whisper of Gilt is lighter.Thanx!But I'm still unsure which to get. What's your skin tone? I'm an NC30/35. Amber Diamond looks dark in your swatches. When I apply Amber Diamond on top of my cheekbones, the color is transparent. It just gives me a "natural" looking sheen. (I use my Inglot 4ss brush.)![]()
I don't blame you given how look it took for them to get your last package to you. I rent a mailbox for this reason. The business accepts packages on my behalf and I can always get them at my leisure.OMGosh! My neighbor just knocked on my door and gave me my box. I'm feeling like a goofball for getting so upset.It was so small, I was sure something was missing. But everything was there. Mac sure it packing everything compact now. Off to play with my goodies now.![]()
