Has anyone who normally wears NW45 in MAC products tried the NARS Radiant Cream Compact foundation and if so in which shade? And do they seem to run a little dark (when compared to the liquid shades equivalents) to anyone else?
I went by Sephora today and ultimately decided on Macao rather than Trinidad because Trinidad seemed a smidge too dark and red, even though Macao seems a smidge too light, but it works, I think. I didn't realize that Sephora's don't cary the entire range of shades and I wonder if I might be closer to New Orleans instead… Just wondering what has worked for you ladies. Thanks!

I really need to hop on the bandwagon and get Albatross. I've been lemming for it for awhile but for some reason, I'm having a hard time spending $30 on it. But, I'm gonna go ahead and take the plunge.
I've tried the ELF dupe but it makes me look super ashy. It doesn't blend it with my skin at all. "/

Hi! I haven't tried Albatross. Have you tried the Sephora MicroSmooth Baked Luminizer in stardust? I love it! I saw a YouTuber that thought this was better than Albatross.
**lemming created** I was just trying to swear off Sephora - maybe next year.

I love the way this palette looks, but I feel like I can dupe it. I may grab it after the holiday.
I do too, but I love the compact nature of it - everything for a look can fit in my hand!!!!

I bought it and the colors are beyond dupeable. I ended up selling it on my blog sale. I like it but I only wanted it to have it. Shameful reason to buy makeup lol.
Hmm, lemming killed, and what's the link to your blogsale?

The NARS foreplay pallet is awesome. I bought it a while ago but just tried it this week. Its beautiful. I love the tinted moisturizer instead of foundation during the summer. I also love the Luster blush. It gives a nice subtle glow on my NC42 skin, but can also be used as a nice highlight on darker tones.

I LOVE the taos blush.
lightly applied/blended it's a pretty flush, and amped up it's a very exciting and healthy color

[quote name="Anerley4U" url="/t/83716/favorite-nars-products-for-woc/480#post_2766195"] Haven't tried the Radiant Cream...I have samples for sale of the NARS Sheer Glow in New Orleans Firming Foundation in Benares and New Guinea. [/quote] All selling and trading should be done in the Clearance Bin, when you get access, NOT the discussion threads.
Yes, this is why I deleted one of the posts in here. No selling outside the Clearance Bin. Thanks!

Blushes:
Taos
Albatross
I adore BOTH. I put off buying Albatross for a long time but it's truly all that was promised. Just blend a lot.
Taos I also love and add to the many others who love it.
I really want to buy the colors SIN and TAJ MAHAL. They both look so cool and unique. And they've cropped up on a lot of the above lists- so I assume that means they're flattering for WOC.
Powder:
Sahara pressed powder!
Love this. I think it's discontinued but it's the only pressed powder I've ever found that perfectly matches my skintone.
I also have the loose powder in Mountain and Beach but I don't like them as much. The colors are off for me and loose powder is difficult to work with/dated in general.
