It shows up as a blusher on you? Seemed pretty sheer to me.

allThingsGirl, shhhhh. I just made up my mind to pass on Redhead!

Sorry, I should clarify! I use the darkest strip for blush and the lighter strips for highlighting

Yep that's why. When I swatched all the stripes, it was definitely not dark enough to be a blusher.

 

[MrsMay]

^^ yep, me too. I use the darker ones for blush and the lightest one for highlighting - with the exception of brunette where all the stripes are dark enough for me to use as a blush.

Winnie don't worry about passing on Redhead MSF. I think that you made a smart decision on the items that you got from BBR. Save your money for another collection.

Thanks, Katie. I really needed this.

Everytime I decided for sure to pass on it, then comes another enabling comment and I start doubting my decision. Maybe when I start working, I will be less constrained by budget, but for now I'm already pushing the limit with BBR and HK.

*talks to self* Sugarsweet MSFs will work just as well for highlighting purposes.. I don't need Redhead!

Either or, depends on the day. But then... cheek products I can NOT use as a blush are, well... Anyhow.

Winnie, you didn't love it. Skip it. Stop the insanity.

Yes! sugarsweet MSFs look great! I'll definately be treating myself to one!

Get one of those instead, besides! MAC always comes up with new goodies, soon you'll completely forget about redhead!

True that I didn't love it initially, but it looked gorgeous the 2nd time I saw it when I'm back at my regular counter. I don't know, maybe it's the magic of my MA?

Anyhow I'm skipping it for sure, no more insanity from me.

Yay for Sugarsweet MSFs! I will only getting one of them though, whichever looks closest to Redhead.

Ok, so I'm still not completely over it yet.

I think it's too light to use it as a blush on my nc43 skin, so i use it as a highlight

I am guilty of that too.

I agree with Samantha here.

Thanks, the msf's are the best in this collection followed by the lipsticks and glosses

Can't say much abot the brushes because i'm waiting for the 165 and the other one to arrive.

Well, I'm paler than NC15 and I use the lighter stripes as a highlight and the darker ones as blush

I used Redhead today with Gold Trace and So Ceylon and it gives my face this lovely glowing summery golden look. I think this I will use this combo on summer alot!

 

[Miss QQ]

I got my Blonde MSF today. It is very pretty! I'm looking forward to try it out. The Redhead MSF tester was missing, stolen, at my regular counter.

I went to the nearby store to test it and it is very pretty. It gives a nice glow, if I didn't have Soft & Gentle, I would get it.

Redhead is prettier than Soft & Gentle.

You can definitely pass S&G.
