Really?
like it actually shows pigment and not ash?
This is exactly what I was afraid of but no. You can also use it in the inner corners of your eyes the MAC artist suggested. I tried to get good pics. I'm NW45 (since the 90's) though she said I'm not anymore, I'm probably NC. Apparently they change their shades? Is she serious?

Pearl Blossom on cheekbones.

Hope it doesn't look chalky on me I hate it when it blends in my skin
Girl it showed up on me, but it was just there, you know? I'm sure it would look pretty on. But after a while that swatch was gone while PB was still popping. It was also sinking into the lines on my skin and caking up. I think I lean towards more shimmer for highlights. Maybe AG can work as a light blush.

Of course, French Twist looks nothing like the MAC swatch lol - its a peach. Why haven't they changed that stupid swatch on the site yet! Real Redhead didn't look like a Mauve nude at all to me, it looked peach as well. I'll have to look at Mandy's video.
The eye shadows were really pretty.

I'm really hoping I like AG! I just want something to make me look radiant. Haha. I'm heading into MAC now so hopefully they'll let me swatch some stuff. If not I might have to be like the crazy b**ch who stole the Cinderella testers and ran off. Of course I would bring them back, I just want to swatch the damn things. Haha

I feel like it will work more for your skin tone. I would have returned those Cinderella ones after stealing them, horrific on me! LMAO! Yeah I was surprised, she offered to show them to me and the whole collection was in one of the small MAC shopping bags. I didn't even ask or think they were even there. But I think they must be using them on clients to promote because some were pretty worn down already.

yaaasss PB is everything !! I'm so happy I ordered it! I'm so happy real doll shows up nicely pigmented on deeper skin tones as well . I can't wait for my goodies to get her already
I went to MAC and the girl let me swatch stuff. Pearl Blossom is EVERYTHING on me as a highlight. Alpha Girl is a big no. The lustres are surprisingly showing up so nicely.

L-R- Silly, MMG, Reel Sexy, Highlights, Pure Vanity, Real Doll. You can peep Pearl Blossom top right near my knuckle, AG is to the left totally saying nothing on me. Lol Oh and she said Silly is a cross between CYY and Pink Pigeon.

That was just wrong and nasty, wouldn't be surprised if those testers dried out by now

The only thing I was interested in was Little Black Bow. I'm supposed to be a pigment fiend, but ES and PIU were in my books... Very dupeable and something that I must own already

They impressed me. I think my only lustres have been Cinderella's and BBW's, which were all similar to begin with, so I was not impressed in that you couldn't really tell the difference that much when on. These other colors are different. Real Doll was so pretty in person. I have similar colors though. I might have to get Highlights.

Did you see PB on me? I think AG will work on you, can't remember if you got it.
