I may be wacky... but i've been mixing Golden Elixir with my sunscreen and putting it on my arms... I'm not trying to look deeply tanned, just tone down the whiteness of the sunscreen and give myself a bit of sparkle!

I'm also using it on my face like a blush. It blends into the skin really well. Maybe i should have gotten a second bottle...

I am glad you posted that. I bought it on a whim and haven't used mine yet--loved it on the SA though. It could be great mixed with my moisturizer with sunblock to get rid of that white tint on the face. I have been considering doing that on my neck since it is significantly lighter than my face! NW18 is almost too dark for my face, but I think my neck could be NC10 or something! I have not tried it mixed with foundation yet. Wondering if it could work as a contour--did you try that???

I have been loving Golden Elixir ever since I bought it online. I love mixing it with my foundation and love how it gives my skin a gorgeous glow! If only MAC restocked it online, I would so get another bottle!

In order to achieve a proper contour and contoured look, products need to be matte. Otherwise it kinda screws up facial structures.

With powder over it, I don't think it would be too shiney, but the reason I have not tried it yet is because it isn't matte. Does MAC have a cream contour product that lasts???

I dunno if they still have any of the LE creme contour powders left in stock, but other than that, no creams. But their sculpting powders are awesome.

This reminds me that I have one of those lol. There's some reason I don't use it though...I know why I don't use the glitter bomb pressed pigments that I got at the same time (although I bet if I use Lit glitter base they won't budge).

A MM makes a big difference with the pressed pigments!

I've been looking at these. Which one would work for nc25-30? I was trying to figure it out by reading reviews etc but everyone says sculpt and its sold out. :(
