I went down today and had a look at this collection and swatched all the products and will be blogging them later on. I was really impressed with these and will upload swatches once I get home

I have ordered the brush and Pure Sculpture for me and trying to decide between Coffee Walnut or Copper Beach for the darker tone. I know having Pure Sculpture I can add warmth to the cooler one and also use it on lighter skin tones...
any advice?

i'm a fair bit darker, but my cousin is probably around nc40 - nc42 and has black hair -- just a few weeks ago she was wearing russian red, and it looked awesome! i was kind of surprised to hear it was RR, since it looks radically different than it does on my skintone. i've gone shopping with her last summer for red/bright lipsticks at sephora and i found a large number of shades were flattering on her...vesuvio by nars stands out in my memory...actually, i'll ask her for more recommendations if that's helpful!
i'm kind of intrigued by the pink-red marilyn lipstick, but i may sit that collection out since there are so many other products i am wanting this fall!!!

I think 109 brush will work great for buffing the sculpting products, from the look of the new brush find it hard to believe will be great for blending, applying the product, yes

I am in such a good mood right now b/c my order that I jacked up with standard shipping, has shipped already! It's supposed to be here by 3pm today! Can't wait to play with my stuff and I am so intrigued by that new brush. If it's worth it's $ I know I'll be able to use it wonderfully.

Did this work out for you? I found it way too warm for a contour on my pale NW skin. I like my contour to be more neutral to cool.

Bought it at our freestanding store, it is very dense, uber soft and from synthetic hair.
Comparison: 227 - 163 - 150

It's a nice brush, but i wouldn't call it a must have. HTH

Same here, never understood that Chanel soleil de tan is often recommended for contouring. That bronzer is the most orange toned i've ever come across.

I was wondering if pure sculpture would be right for me. I'm about the same tone as you, Mac-Guy. I'm not sure what to get for the darker shade with Accentuate.

I have almost the same brush from Sonia Kashuk and I use it all of the time (Target stores in the US sell them). I call this a MUST have
for me, but SK is much cheaper.

This stuff on the eyes reminds me of Graftobian HD foundation- I use that on eyes and for contour a lot.

I just found another page with a few photos of models wearing some of the Pro Sculpting Creams. Naturally Honed, Richly Defined, and Accentuate seem to be
the ones used most in the photos:

Im starting to lean more towards Richly honed because I really want my face to look all chiseled and if that model can pull of copper beech, imma have to go darker

I would def go with Richly Honed. I use colors like Richly Honed and Coffee Walnut a lot for contour on lighter skintones- including myself which I vary from Nc37 to NW 25
