MAC Cosmetics - N Collection Review and Swatches
Posted On: 01/10/08
Posted in: MAC Cosmetics, MAC Launch Reviews
OVERALL, N Colour impressed me more than N Face, but it is not a collection that anyone should avoid because they dislike neutrals/nudes. I feel that it does offer a little something to everyone; you have two new mineralize skinfinishes, with one that is suitable to nearly everyone, while the eyeshadows are gorgeous with lovely color pay off and finishes. The nail lacquers were a little disappointing, but I kind of had a feeling I would be passing on them in the end (me wear brown polish? so doubtful!). I know paint pots have a huge following since their introduction, and I don’t think that either Quite Natural or Soft Ochre will disappoint. The stand outs in my opinion were 3N lipstick, 4N lipglass, Modest Tone eyeshadow, Nanogold eyeshadow, Neutral Pink eyeshadow, and Soft Ochre paint pot.
What did you get/will you get?ﾃあ Favorites?ﾃあ Feel free to share your swatches in the comments or e-mailing me your photos (and I’ll post them).
Check out more swatches and in-depth reviews for individual products…
Lipstick
- 1N is a very sheer, creamy beige color with high sheen and low opacity. It is actually not the “lightest” by sight or in the tube. I think those looking for a very sheer nude would like this, but for anyone with pigmented lips, it wouldn’t add much beyond shine.
- 2N is a pale, pinky nude that is also fairly sheer. This had more pay off than 1N, but it is still quite light.
- 3N is a lovely medium glossy pink, and I think this is going to be a favorite, because it’s such a workable and wearable pink. It might even be the answer to people’s quests for the perfect pink lipstick. It isn’t too bright nor too pale or sheer.
- 4N is a deeper beigey nude with pink undertones, and those with darker natural lips will find this one of the better choices from N, because the color pay off is much more intense. It is still more on the sheer side, though.
- 5N is a dark, plummy-mauve with brown undertones that would work well on deeper skintones. It goes on with more color than the other N lipsticks, but it does have some sheerness to it that makes it a wearable deep color, even for lighter skintones.
Lipglass
- 1N is a lovely beigey tan color with gold shimmer, and I think it would make an excellent gloss on top of any nude lipstick, regardless if it’s from N.
- 2N is a warm medium pink with white-gold shimmer, much like N3 (though N3 is cooler rather tham warmer if I had to pick one way or the other), so obviously you could pair these two together for a nice pink lip. I did like the lipglass, though, and it is a good universal color.
- 3N is a rich brown with pink-gold shimmer. It’s dark enough where I am not sure it would be the most flattering color on my skin tone, but I could see it as adding some punch to any nude lip.
- 4N is the most gorgeous lip product out of the launch, because it is a rich, vampy, berry color with gold shimmer. In fact, I was kind of reminded of Real Desire from The Originals. It is more burgundy-berry than red, like Real Desire, though. I would say this is one of my must-haves!
ﾃあ
Eyeshadow
- Nanogold is a gorgeous opalescent pinkish-gold-white with a fair amount of shimmer/frost, but it is really a gorgeous color. I would say this is the only shadow I went in wanting to buy, and it didn’t disappoint. Though, I wouldn’t have put “gold” in the name, but that’s just me! It reminds me of a more gold Pink Opal pigment (or a more gold Whistle eyeshadow).
- Modest Tone is a fleshy pink gold-beige color (wow, could I get more colors in that one?). It’s hard to describe these shadows, because it’s almost as if they’re duochromes. I think this makes an excellent pink for anyone who has been afraid to do a pink-themed eye look. It’s not at all bright, and it’s quite natural.
- Neutral Pink is so rich and luxe; it’s an amazing shade of deep plum-berry. It has lovely shimmer, but not overwhelmingly so. Loved this one! Payoff was awesome!
- Rich Flesh is a warm, milk chocolate brown. Anyone dying for a great medim brown that’s rich and warm with gold sheen, this is the one for you.
- Remotely Grey is a greyish brown, dark taupe color. I was reminded a bit of Mothbrown eyeshadow, but probably not an exact duplicate. This would make a great smoky eye for the day time, because it isn’t black, nor is it straight grey, so it would be a nice compromise.
- Dark Edge is a glittery dark black-brown with gray undertones. I felt like the shimmer was almost a bit gold in reflects, and this would be the chunkiest in texture out of the six shadows. It’s a nice color, but it isn’t a must-have.
ﾃあ
Paint Pot
- Groundwork is a dirty-gray brown, would make a nice base for a smoky eye or subdued eye. My store didn’t have it in stock, so please refer back to my Painterly swatches here. This is a permanent color, so no rush to get it.
- Quite Natural is a rich, warm chocolate brown, much like Rich Flesh eyeshadow, only darker and with nearly no shimmer (maybe none at all, actually).
- Soft Ochre is gorgeous, because it is a really lovely base color for any look. It’s kind of like a warmer Beige-ing shadestick, which lots of MAC fans use as their eyeshadow base. The texture was fabulous, really creamy and went on like a dream.
ﾃあ
Mineralize Skinfinish
- Light Flush is a lovely peachy-pink with gold shimmer. I can see this becoming a holy grail kind of color for many MAC and MSF fans alike. It should deposit just the right bit of glow for many skintones. As NC30, it would probably give me, just as it states, a light flush. I was reminded of Motif eyeshadow, which I do like as a highlighter.
- Warm Flush is very different from Light Flush–it is a rich, coppery bronze with gold shimmer. I would love to see how people wear this color, because it has a lot of color pay off and it is quite dark. You would definitely need to use the 187 with this one (or else a very, very light hand).
Mineralize Skinfinish Natural
- Light Medium is the lightest of the naturals to come out, and you can see it fades entirely away in my swatch (that’s my under forearm, the lightest skin I have!).
- Medium has some pink undertones to it, so I don’t feel like it’d be great for warmer skin tones.
- Medium Plus is more neutral than Medium, but it makes my skintone just a touch chalky.
- Medium Deep is cooler with just the faintest hint of a peach-pink in it.
- Medium Dark is a warmer, deeper color, probably too dark for me as a NC30, but it would make a nice bronzer for NC30ish skintones.
- Dark is very rich and smooth, a deep warm bronze color. This is as dark as it goes, and I don’t think it would satisfy the entire range of skin colors, because it is quite warm.
Cremestick Liner
- Creamola is a deeper tan-beige lip liner. I love cremestick liners, so I have nothing bad to say about them. I can’t imagine using Creamola very much, so I passed.
- Sublime Culture is a pretty pink with gold undertones, which is definitely one of the favorited cremestick liners because it’s so versatile.
ﾃあ
Nail Lacquer
- N Colour is a sheer, pale beige polish that goes on quite thickly. It dries to a semi-sheer finish, but it makes a very nice, professional color.
- Naturally Rich is indeed a milk chocolate brown, as described, and it just isn’t a color I could see myself wearing.
- Demi-blanc has a gorgeous duochrome nature to it, with pink-purple iridescence. The only problem with it is that it is incredibly sheer, so even after two coats, I felt like I didn’t get near the color I would have liked. It also didn’t apply as evenly as I would have liked (it didn’t look as mixed well in the bottle, so maybe that was why).

Your the best :)
Thursday, January 10, 2008
:) Thanks Alisha!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Awwwwwwwwwwww I canﾂｴt wait!!!!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Wait no longer, Lone!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
will you have swatches of EVERYTHING??
Thursday, January 10, 2008
I try to swatch everything I can from the new collection! If I don’t, it’s only because the store didn’t have it.
Thursday, January 10, 2008
THANK YOU!!!!! :)
Thursday, January 10, 2008
No problem, Joanna!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Woo hoo! It’s sad, but I have this site opened in a tab at work and I keep refreshing even though I know it’s not time yet. Haha. :P I’ll be checking back in a bit. Thanks so much for doing this! <3
Thursday, January 10, 2008
lol! It’s my pleasure to help out, Skyler!
Friday, January 11, 2008
HAHHAHAHa omg. that’s what i do at work too. it’s just open and when someone passes by i just minimize the screen teehee!
thanks for the review ms. christine :P
Sunday, January 13, 2008
LOL! I’m so flattered :D
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Last night my local counter had the collection out! I loved it and am going back today to pick up a few things; I was totally into Neutral Pink e/s which surprised me, and the lipsticks were much sheerer/lighter color payoff than I expected based on product photos.
Can’t wait to read your review!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Oh yay! Lucky you to get a sneak peek :) Can’t wait to see what you get!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Here is a really bad photo of my crummy swatches from last night. Top line includes all 5 lipsticks 5N to 1N (can barely see 3N, 2N, 1N). On lower left are 2 paintpots (the new ones which are not Groundwork). On lower right is 3 eyeshadows, (not sure what the warm brown one is :( ) then Remotely Gray and Neutral Pink.
Sorry it’s bad, but maybe it’ll provide some comfort or interest until 12 PST!

Thursday, January 10, 2008
Thanks for sharing your swatches, Carrie!! It’s good to see how they look on others :)
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Check out for me THE lipstick I am so curious and in love with.
Can’t for your swatches :)
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Of course, Madeleine!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
i’m soooo excited….ahh!!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Aww!! I’m glad, Sara!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
I’m super excited to see what you think! Hey - I took your advice and called the MAC counter again today. Surprise, surprise, it was released today instead of next week. I’m planning to stop by tomorrow or Saturday.
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Yay! I’m glad they’ll have it out :D Calling is always the best bet.
Thursday, January 10, 2008
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG .. what shall I get????
Thursday, January 10, 2008
You tell me, Lone!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Which of the skinfinishes would you most recommend for NC35? For example, I [purchased the “Lighthearted” mystery powder from the Stylists collection and it’s literally the teeny-tiniest smidge dark on me. But BARELY.
Thursday, January 10, 2008
I would say Medium Deep probably!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Thank you! Wow!
I’m NC50 shade (still not 100% convinced, though), do you think that 4N will be a true burgundy?
I thought that Real Desire would be but when I put it on, it was pink.
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Sure thing, Tina! Wow, Real Desire was PINK on you?!!? It was definitely a redder color than burgundy, so 4N might work out better, since that’s nowhere NEAR the red family.
Thursday, January 10, 2008
I’m really looking forward to checking out 3N & 4N. I’ve been looking for a sheet true burgundy non-creamy gloss.
Thanks again for the swatches!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Let me know if 4N ends up working for you!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
I haven’t ordered a thing yet because I’ve been waiting on your reviews! Thanks so much for another wonderful review. You are the best!
xo
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Aww :) So sweet to hear! I’m happy the review helps you out!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
I thought i didnt need very much, but you have managed to changes my mind, i need light flush ,4n lipglass, 3Nl/s, neutral pink and nanogold :(
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Aww!! I’m sure you’ll love them all though :)
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Thank you very much for this!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
No problem, Kellie!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
i think im going to have to go for the 3N lipstick…it looks awesome! thanks so much Christine!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
It is definitely a lovely pink shade!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Gracias Muneca!
Would you say thatif a personhas painterly, they probably don’t need soft ochre?
And is Nanogold like Naked Lunch?
Thx!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Of course, Stella :) Soft Ochre is warmer and lighter, with a touch of yellow. Painterly is cooler and neutral-flesh toned. You don’t NEED both, but I wouldn’t say they’re alike.
No, it’s not like Naked Lunch! It’s way different!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Your shadow swatches are THE BEST thank you!!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Aww, thanks Brooke!! :D
Thursday, January 10, 2008
I’m looking into getting a natural msf…I had medium for a long time, from the older collections, but it was a tad too dark and warm for me…which one would you suggest for me? and where do you think the original medium would place itself in this collection? is the medium from this collection the same as the medium from previous collections? sorry for all the question.. :) I live 5 hours from MAC, so I have to order online and I just want your recommendations, which I trust always!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
You could try the new medium, because it’s not that warm. Do you know your skintone in MAC shades? I could give you a better answer!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
no…I never got matched for skin tone at MAC since I’m so far…would you say that the new medium is lighter than the old one? thanks doll!! you’re such a great help!!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
I feel like the new medium is a bit lighter. If you are my skintone, then medium deep is a good shade. If you feel you’re way lighter, go with Light Plus. If you’re in between, medium will probably work for you!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
thanks doll!! I’m way lighter than you…I only WISH I was dark like you…the original medium was a tad too dark for me…you’re amazing, christine!! just amazing!!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
No problem, hun! You may want to even do a LiveChat with a MAC artist to ask for more advice on whether to go medium or light plus!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Thank you, as always, for providing a great review and the bset swatches! I always find yours to be the most true to life. The lippies from this collection kind of bore me - I’ll most likely only end up with 3N l/s. The eyeshadows, on the other hand, are gorgeous! I will be buying 5 of the 6, as well as both MSFs. Yay for neutrals with great color payoff!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
No problem, Ariele! I’m glad you like them :) I think the shadows are definitely the surprise of the collection!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
What did you end up buying from the collection, hun?
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Nanogold, Light Flush, and N4 lipglass for now!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! Looks like I’ll be ordrering Remotely Grey, Modest Tone, Neutral Pink, and Light Flush!!!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
No problem! Let me know what you think when you get them!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
I had hardly any interest in this collection until I saw your swatches and review - damn you and bless you, all at once! *grin*
Thursday, January 10, 2008
lol, Kirsten! So sorry… ;)
Thursday, January 10, 2008
How many are getting LIGHT FLUSH???
Thursday, January 10, 2008
I wouldn’t doubt it sells out quite quickly!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
You are the best! Thank you so much for posting this so quickly. I love all of it. Can’t wai tot go spend my paycheck
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Aw, thanks Meg! Let us know what you hauled!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
well i’m glad to know i wasn’t the only one refreshing to see this review ;) amazing as always, and now I can go put part 2 of my order in with those I wasn’t as sure of (and of course those I didn’t know i even wanted until i saw swatches ;))
thanks!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
lol! What did you get already and what are you getting in the second order?
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Just bought the Neutral Pink (LOVE IT!!) and my first Paint Pot! Loved the collex!!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Yay!! :) Which paint pot?
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Thanks to Christine, I just purchased Light Flush, Warmed, Medium Plus AND Medium Deep based on C’s recommendation and that of an MAC CHAT as well as both of the Charged Waters. Never tried them but since I like vibrant makeup, the N Colour offers me zero interesting options. Still Not a bad haul for leaving out e/s and lips.
Thursday, January 10, 2008
LOL! I hope you enjoy all your MSFs!! :D
Thursday, January 10, 2008
WOO HOO!! I’ve been waiting for your review!!! For some reason, I’m excited about this collection! I don’t know why. I can’t wait to go see them in person…hopefully SOMETHING will work for my NW43 skin!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Aww!! I’m glad I could have it up for you :) Let me know what you end up getting!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
I guess I was wrong about the lipstick looking like soft lust. I love the look of the msf & shadows!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Guess so, you were close though! N2 is kind of like it!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
I was thinking N2 was the one I was going to get lol!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
LOL! Aww :)
Thursday, January 10, 2008
they said I was nc-42-45 so I dont know what I am…maybe nc44
sorry for ashy hands lol
l/g on top l/s on bottom I have both msf under the lippies swatched

Thursday, January 10, 2008
Thanks for sharing your pics, Lala!!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Finally, i know exactly what to get:D
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Yay, I’m so glad, Lisa! What are you going to get?
Thursday, January 10, 2008
I’m getting
Lipstick - n2 & n3
Lipglass - n1 & n2
Eyes - modest tone & remotely grey
Nail lacquer - N colour
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Yay! Sounds like a good haul :)
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Ok, quick question:
How does the N3 Lipstick compare to Twig-Twig Lipstick? Both are something I’m considering buying, but I want to get the best one! Are they nearly the same? Or is one more pink than the other? I don’t usually go for neutral tones.
Thursday, January 10, 2008
N3 is much lighter and it’s brighter than Twig Twig. Twig Twig is kind of like a darker pink I would say. It’s hard to pick between the two of them, really. If you like more babydoll, pastel pink lips, go for N3. If you want more sophisticated pink, then Twig Twig.
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Is it a good idea for someone who is NC15, even in summer, to get Warmed MSF? :( It does look really dark. But then I thought about using it as a shadow or lightly using it as a blush… I dunno, gimme your expertise, Christine. :P
Thank you soooo much for all of these wonderful swatches. You’ve helped me make decisions on many products from this collection!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
If you use it LIGHTLY, then I think it would be okay. It just has a lot of pay off to it, you know? If you’ve been able to use something as deep as Gold Deposit or So Ceylon, I think you’ll be fine. It’s sort of like a brighter, warmer (with more peachy/orange) than New Vegas.
My pleasure, Skyler! :) I just get happy knowing a few people are eager to read my review, lol!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
I ordered both paintpots and msf’s, online and am waiting on them. I went to MAC this morning and bought most of the eye shadows, charge water and 4n. I have to go back because they gave me 1n which I did not like on me. They grabbed the wrong one. I actually did not like the msf’s well. I played with light flush and it seemed light and I had them apply warm flush but yea it looks real dark on me. A heavy one. I am debating whether to keep one msf. Oh yea did not care too much for quite natural paint pot either. Guess ill be returning them when they get here.
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Oh, wow, what a big mistake, between 1N and 4N! I think Light Flush is a great highlighter/blush (depending on skintone) for most people. I would pick that one over Warmed Flush!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
HI, so what did you get from this collection?
What about MEI? Where can we get them? Sorry if you answer this already.
Thank you.
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Hi Abigail, only a few locations are carrying A Mei. I think the SF Pro store and NY Pro store, and maybe Toronto Pro store has it. It is available online.
I believe I picked up Nanogold, Light Flush, and 4N lipglass.
Thursday, January 10, 2008
THANK YOU X 10 for the swatches!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
No proble, MJR!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
I bought remotely grey and dark edge
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Oh, nice! Those would look great together!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Thank you so much :)
Thursday, January 10, 2008
No prob, Josay!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Oh no!!! Now I can’t wait for this to come out in NZ! I’m going in next week for The Originals release (STILL not out yet) so I’ll ask about this one, because I think I will die if I miss out on getting Light Flush! Must remember to buy back-ups!!! :D
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Oh, wow, I can’t believe Originals still isn’t out yet!!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
I know! It’s a travesty.. and MAC is so much more expensive here! I need to move to the USA.. anywhere near a Pro store, lol. We don’t even have one!
Sunday, January 13, 2008
lol, that sucks! I have one about 45 miles away, but it’s such a pain to find parking, so I rarely go! It’s cheaper to pay $7 shipping than the gas to get there!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
darn! i thought i was going to pass, but the lighter MSF (flush) is catching my eye. is there any other MSF that you would say that compares to it? (I don’t want to get it if there’s something out there that is similar to it)
Thursday, January 10, 2008
I think everybody is going to be tempted by the Light Flush! Honestly, I’m not a MSF girl, so I’m not as familiar with them as others. I think some are saying it’s similar to Petticoat.
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Aaaah I love Neutral Pink!! and N3 and N4 looking good…
:( *sniffle* But I can’t get it…
Nice work!
Lol, do you have some privileged treatment in your MAC store? Beside you’re faithful costumer. I mean, a woman that colors all her arms there :p…You must have told them you have beauty site which is dedicated to MAC.
I don’t think they would let anyone do that…or maybe would.
I don’t know MAC’s policies actually.
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Aww, broke or other reason?
Nope, not at all. You can swatch to your heart’s content, really. There’s no policy that says you can’t. Even before I did hardcore reviewing procedures, I usually swatched a bunch of stuff just as a consumer and had no problems at any of the places I went!
The store I go to these days, I do know the manager from Fashion Week, and a few of the MAs do know I run a beauty blog.
Thursday, January 10, 2008
I got more than I expected from this collection, it is very very pretty stuff! I was more excited about the stuff that I got today than any of the collections that have come out in the last year.
I picked up Neutral Pink e/s, Rich Flesh e/s, Light Flush MSF, Groundwork paintpot, and I think I might go back and check out Modest Tone e/s.
I am in love with Light Flush MSF. I have NW 20 skin and it comes out as a really pretty coppery pink, and I like that its not a chunky sparkle just a nice shimmer. Also on my skin Neutral Pink comes out more like Modest Tone does on yours. All in all it was a gorgeous collection and I think everyone should check it out!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
This collection seems pretty in a very subdued, sophisticated way.
I’m so happy to hear the good news over Light Flush!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Yay! Thanks for your review AND swatches, Christine!
Definitely picking up the Light Flush MSF now :D Might also get the N2 l/g, Nano e/s and Modest Tone e/s for Australian retail when (if) if gets released here.
Thursday, January 10, 2008
No problem, Julie! Happy to be of some help.
I’m sure it will get released there, hopefully soon, too!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Just checked and it’ll be released in about a month!
Ordering the Light Flush MSF from the US and then I’ll be paying Australian retail for the Warmed MSF plus the rest.
Bleurgh, we pay almost double to what you Americans pay, LOL.
Sunday, January 13, 2008
That’s great :)
I can’t believe the differences in prices, wow!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
I love the eyeshadows! what did you pick up?
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Just Nanogold, N4 lipglass, and Light Flush for now!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Hey Christine! Thanks so much for all your swatches and reviews! They’re perfection as usual.
I was wondering if Light Flush is similar enough to Porcelain Pink to skip out on it if you already had PP. Do you know? Thanks a lot!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Sure thing, Moriah :) I’m thrilled to be able to help out.
I think it’s more of a peachy-pink with better pay off than PP.
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Ah, good news for me, but bad news for my wallet!
Thanks for the help, love!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
No problem, Moriah!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Oh ya, my MA said that the two paint pots that aren’t already permanent are going to be part of the permanent line. Exciting!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Really? Haven’t heard that yet, but that would be good news!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Ya, now Im not so sure if she had her info straight because I see on the website that they have the little triangle. So who knows…
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Well, we will hope your MA is right :D
Thursday, January 10, 2008
I’m definently all about those MSF’s.
Thank you yet again for some awesome swatches.
Thursday, January 10, 2008
I can’t wait to see people rock Warmed Flush!
No problem :D
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Also, by the looks of it, a decent dupe for Nanogold would be Milani’s “Illusion”, though the latter may be a bit more pink.
Thursday, January 10, 2008
I’ll have to check out this possibility next time I’m at the drugstore (if they carry Milani…). Thanks for the heads up!
Thursday, January 10, 2008
Christine!! Why do you do this to me?? Now I want it all!! :P I’m very confused with the MSF’s. Especially the pink one. I wasn’t very impressed with Northern Lights which I have. I don’t want this MSF to be something else that isn’t pink enough on me and provides too much shimmer when enough pink is visible. Is it like this? I’m an NC42.

LOL! Sorry Allysha ;) I liked Light Flush way more than Northern Lights! I think you may find that it is more of a highlighter for you, as NC42, though. It’s semi-pigmented, but it’s not super pink or rosy.
