Lightscapade -- does this show up on you guys?

[allThingsGirl]

I was lucky enough to get this for a reasonable price recently and although it's super gorgeous in the pan, I can't see it on me!! I can barely barely see it.

Any other WoC having this issue or do I just need to layer it or may mine just doesn't have much oomph in the veins?

I'm using the new BBR 165 brush, what do you guys use?

Yeah it shows up... as a boat load of ashiness. I am NW45 for reference.

It shows up on me as well. I'm NC30. Just wondering, have you tried looking at yourself with it on in front or under lights? It looks best when there is light for it to reflect. I remember when I first got Lightscapade, I applied it in natural daylight and thought that it didn't show up. Then I went into the bathroom and bam! There it was!

Im NC40 and it looks very similar to vanilla pigment. It just gives my cheeks a slight glow. If got a tan, it def would not look flattering, thats where my gold deposit comes in

Lightscapade is geared more towards PPP gals IMO

Hm. I'll try looking at myself in different lights. The lighting has been pretty bad or I was in natural daylight. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the thoughts ladies -- I think I'll give it a try for another couple weeks and decide if it's a keeper. I really love Shimpagne, that one is the best highlighter for me so far.

Yes I am NC45/NW43 and it has a very subtle soft glow...Shimpagne is my favorite to as far as highlighters second to Albatross

 

[DominicanBarbie]

I swatched it on my hand (which is darker than my face NC43/44) at a cco and the first thing that I thought was... OH hell no.

With that said it just didnt look right. Maybe on my check with some blush it would be a different story but on my hand it was not cute.

Shimpagne is my fav.. Nc 42 here.. The other side of moonrive which is similar to lightscapde shows up on me.. I love shimpagne.. Its my love.. lol

what is PPP?

 

[aziajs]

It shows up on me as a soft white/pale pink sheen. I like it. I was worried at first but it was fine. It looks good over pink cheek colors.

man my lightscapade was kinda pretty and highlighting from afar, but close up it's a bit ashy. HOWEVER, mac's new perfect topping is all that and what i expected from lightscapade!
