Mac Shaping Powder - Emphasize

[jokingsbury]

I have seen a lot of hype over using the shaping powder Emphasize to highlight and set your under eye concealer. Has anyone around an NC42 tried this powder out? Is it too light? Have you tried or recommend other colors of the Shaping powders? I don't have a Pro Store around so I can't try them out for myself.

Emphasize is for NW/NC20 and lighter. Unfortunately everyone is still stuck on this "too light of an undereye highlight" trend which doesn't photograph well and doesn't look natural in person either. Ideally your undereye area should be the same colour as the rest of your face, which is why your concealer and setting powder should be the same colour as your face. But, for an NC42 i suggest Light Sweep Shaping powder, and Shadester Sculpting (if you were needing a sculpting powder as well) however you wish to use them. HTHs.
