Please give your opinions on Lightscapade and Nothernlights MSF

[cocodivatime]

I have a chance to get these online but obviously cannot try them on first.

I'm wondering how they show up on the skin. I'm a NC44 i think. I can't remember. A caramel tone brown.

Is lightscapade a nude or pink color. and does nothern lights come out really pink or is it subtle.

thanks so much. I'm thinking to go for lightscapade but I would love some opinions. I am really into a made up eye with a nude lip lately if that helps. But i change all the time.

Real talk, if you are anything in the fortys i dont think lightscapde is a good choice for you. It's too light. Northern Light is a nice rosey gold but not really chalky more so smooth, i cant think of the word i wanna say but i use Northern LIGHT (i dont know why we always wanna say lights, it's light lol) all the time, and i love it. Also you might be pleased with New Vegas or Petticoat.

LOL. I'm not in my 40s. I'm approaching 30 soon

But I definitly don't want anything chalky. i just want a pretty pinky glow.

LOL. i always say Northern LightS too. LOL. I dont know why I add the S. LOL

Oh--speaking of MSFs. What is the best brush to apply these?
I have a 168, 187, 129 and a small fat buffer brush but i don't know what # it is. Its the small one with the black handle.

thanks

I'm a NC45/NW43. I like Lightscapade. Just as Frocher said it's a soft pastel pink. It's very soft and pretty. The brush that's best to use depends on the result you want and how pigmented the MSF is. I like my color more concentrated and more precise so I use the 109 and apply the MSFs over blush or along the top of my cheekbones.

ok thanks. So its not ashy on you? Hmm.

The result that I want is a sligiht all over glow to the face. Not concentrated in any specific area. Which would be best for that?

oh great. I have the 187

Ok one more question. Sorry. I already have Warmed. I saw New Vegas and it looked pretty in the packaging. Does anyone know if its gonna be too close to Warmed?? Is it rosy or bronzey?

She meant 40s as in NC/NW 40's, not age. Lol, that was cute. I'm NW45 and Lightscapade was too light for me but I love Northern Light. I agree with the other person who recommended Albatross.

NV is not like Warmed at all. New Vegas is gold, sheer-white gold with a bit of copper veining. The color description reads "Fleshy golden beige with bronze pearl" but it is not bronzy, not like Warmed anyway. They also have very different textures. NV is a bit more loose and gritty, whereas Warmed is more finely milled and smoother.

Does anyone know if any of these coloured MSFs will be appearing in future collections this year? They all came out before I started collecting MAC

i had a conversation with one MA about them and she said that they would come out once every year in a half...so...if that's the case then i guess 09 would be next? because Warmed and Light Flush came out with N collection right? (correct me if i am wrong)

I agree that New Vegas and Warmed are completely different in color and texture. New Vegas is a yellow gold. It is the ONLY MSF I have that I never wear. It's the only one that doesn't look good on my skin. I don't have warmed because I have Shooting Star and I figured it was close enough. Warmed is a warm bronzey shade but it's so close to my skintone that I it wasn't worth the purchase.
