MAC - Grand Duos Discussion

If these are like Sonic Chic, I won't buy them. I like regular MSF (not all of them though, I hate glitters), but not the blushes!

I hate Dainty. It's just an almost matte pinky peach with gold glitters. I prefer glowy or pearly stuff for my cheeks.

Hahah you're so funny. Dainty is alright..now Pleasantry! That's the sexy one of the bunch!

Can anyone tell me the difference between regular blushes, BPB & MB? Blushes are blushes to me

Oh yes, not just Moxy but a whole gang of supporters. I swear it has a cult following, with Moxy being the leader.

MSF's could be used as highlighters and if they are dark enough for you (or show up), they could be used as blushers or bronzers.

Minerlize Blushes: Are baked blushers (hence the term minerlized) how ever they should be used a blushers as they are very pigmented. They provied a natural glow as well. I

I would like to know the difference among them too, including MSF! I only have one BPB which is Stark Naked, and it seems more pigmented than regular blushes to me.

Thanks. How about the staying power for MSF and MB, are they the same?

^ I haven't encountered problems with the staying power of the MB's as other people on this forum have.
It stays put on me and doesn't fade. Hope this helps

Sounds good so far. Do you have extremely oily skin like yours truly?

BPB: Are beauty powders + blusher mixed together to achieve that glowy skin with a touch of colour.

MB: Baked blushers which are really pigmented and also give a glowy finish.

Hope this helped a bit?

I have oily skin and the MSF blushers do fade on me which is unfortunate because I really love my Nuance but I found that BPs last longer on me, it's weird

HK will damage my wallet pretty bad so Moon River will stay the only blush from this collection.

I'm not really excited about these at all. I still have some of the mineralized blushes that came out last year which I hardly use since now that I'm into NARS Blushes. I also took a look at my entire makeup collection and I have so many MSFs that could be used as blushes instead of having to buy these Grand Duo blushes. So I guess that's a good thing! I'm actually gonna skip a MAC collection for once! More money for me to save . . .
