I like highlighters, I just don't think these will highlight even the palms of my hands.I'm not really a highlighter person myself. These are a skip for me

Karen is nowhere near my skintone (I'm NC50... Maybe a tad lighter... Need to go for a proper foundation match next weekend) but her swatches are usually near enough what I expected. Cardinal... I'm split down the middle on that lipstick. Something tells me that I already have it under a different name and finishTotally agree. I love Karen's swatches and lighting. But these powders looked like a fail from the get-go for my NW45 skin tone. Cardinal may be the only thing for me.
Same here re Karen. I've been NW45 since I first set foot in MAC in the late 90's and only yesterday the Becca rep was like, "But you don't have red undertones". My Becca color (Café) is totally different from NW45. So now I'm curious about MAC. I always felt that NW45 was off, but it always worked. It's so weird because my sis, another girl and myself are all the same NW45 yet different complexions.Karen is nowhere near my skintone (I'm NC50... Maybe a tad lighter...

I did use a foundation from Loreal and it was the perfect match for my skin. It was Cappuccino (N8), it was flawless on my skin. But I cant find it anywhere now, I have to with Cocoa. It's a tad bit too dark, along with my powder foundation and NC50Same here re Karen.

I use Avon foundation in the color Earth but have my NW45 Studio Fix for light dustings on top. I almost tried SheaMoisture's but I sometimes don't have the patience to try and return as you sometimes do with drugstore brands with no testers.I did use a foundation from Loreal and it was the perfect match for my skin.

My firt match I was told I'm nw45 I have zero red tones. More neutral than anything. But I found a great SA and I'm now quoted as being nw46/47 which is supposedly brown/neutral toned. Not red or yellow.Same here re Karen. I've been NW45 since I first set foot in MAC in the late 90's and only yesterday the Becca rep was like, "But you don't have red undertones".

... Unless MAC wants a barrage of complaints all over social media againAfter seeing the powders swatches on T, I am not excited about them- especially with the overspray disappearing. At this stage I think I am skipping. I am much more excited about the Dior tie dye blushes. So my list is down to Hollywood Cerise x 2. I hope this launches on time and without stress!:flower:
