MAC Give Me Liberty of London: Beauty Powder Reviews, Photos, Swatches
The Beauty Powders are housed in all-white packaging with an opaque cover (they’re sometimes clear, sometimes not–usually not clear if it’s part of limited edition packaging) with the MAC for Liberty print printed in color on the top. Beauty Powders can be used for a variety of things–blushing, highlighting, setting, or what-have-you. Your usage depends on both the shade itself and how well it shows up on your skin tone. Shell Pearl may be a blush on fairer skin tones, but deeper skin tones will find it is more of a highlighter.
Beauty Powder ($25.00 U.S. / $30.00 CDN)
- Summer Rose is a satin-y pinky-plum with very subtle, nearly invisible shimmer/sheen. This is a repromote from last year’s Rose Romance Collection, but it doesn’t have the rose petal embellished design–on the flip side, this one is housed in special packaging. It has a smooth texture and can be layered for more intensity, though on first swipe, it’s quite sheer and soft. It doesn’t build up to an ultra intense shade by any means, but with two or three layers, it should show up on light and medium skin tones. Deeper, darker skin tones may find that this can look ashy, so I’d recommend swatching in-store first if possible!
- Shell Pearl is a beautiful peachy-coral with a soft golden peach sheen. For whatever reason, I never owned Shell Pearl when I first started my journey down the limited-edition lined path o’ MAC, but after I saw someone use it, I was like, “I need that!” So, finally, I get to have it, and it’s lovely. It’s soft, smooth, and delivers a beautiful glow to the skin. It’s not super pigmented, so for medium and darker skin tones, it’s more of a highlighter or potentially an all-over highlighter than a blush, but lighter skin tones may find it a suitable blusher as well as a highlighter. Shell Pearl has also been released in the past, but I believe that was over a year ago.

Tuesday, March 2, 2010I think I might get SP. The packaging is so cute, and the color itself is pretty.
kali
Tuesday, March 2, 2010Do you think Summer Rose would look weird on medium skin with olivey and yellow undertones? I didn’t like Azalea Blosson from Colour Forecast much and that was kind of a pink with lavender.. So not sure if this will work for me. What do you think? And thanks so much for the wonderful swatches!
Christine
Tuesday, March 2, 2010If you didn’t like Azalea Blossom, I don’t think you’d like Summer Rose. It’s pinker and not as cool as Azalea Blossom, but it’s still in the same family.
teresa
Tuesday, March 9, 2010Christine, how does Shell Pearl compare to like the Tahitian Sand Beauty powder, any chance of doing a swatch comparison? Thanks.
Christine
Thursday, March 11, 2010I don’t own Tahitian Sand :(
Krystal
Thursday, March 18, 2010I have a medium to dark skintone with olive and yellow undertones and Summer Rose is one of my favorites!
ModeCrazyMakeUpOn
Tuesday, March 2, 2010I like shell pearl better, I don’t know if I’ll get it, I have similar shades already
Cara
Tuesday, March 2, 2010shell pearl looks purty :)
Kitty Kris
Tuesday, March 2, 2010I want both please!!!
Anitacska
Tuesday, March 2, 2010I already have Summer Rose, but will definitely get Shell Pearl, it’s gorgeous! :)
chanel
Wednesday, March 24, 2010this summer rose is way nicer then the one from the rose collection its brighter and has shimmer too it as well the rose one is to sheer
Nicole
Tuesday, March 2, 2010shell pearl is divine!
S.
Tuesday, March 2, 2010Hm…I wish Summer Rose were brighter. I am still waiting for MAC to repromote or do something similar to Alpha Girl BP from Heatherette. It is a sheer, neon pink that is perfect for very fair skin.
Cherie
Tuesday, March 2, 2010Ohhh!!! I will definately be checking out shell pearl! :)
Andrea
Tuesday, March 2, 2010How does Shell Pearl compare to Benefit’s Sugarbomb in terms of colour and texture?
Christine
Tuesday, March 2, 2010Peachier, a little more of a frosty shimmer/sheen. It’s similar, but the color is definitely more peach-champagne (Sugarbomb is more pinky-peach).
Steffi
Tuesday, March 2, 2010I so want Shell Pearl, it is so pretty
Arianne
Tuesday, March 2, 2010OH! Shell Pearl is beautiful. It will be mine! :D
amelia
Tuesday, March 2, 2010i love the idea of the MAC beauty powders… and these ones with the packaging….. i might try to get summer rose
deepblue
Tuesday, March 2, 2010I think Shell Pearl will be mine! ;-) Packaging is sooooo beautiful! Can’t wait to put my handy on it!
Jaime
Tuesday, March 2, 2010ohhh shell pearl has the most beautiful peachy champagne-y sheen I love it :D
Jacquelyn
Tuesday, March 2, 2010I mainly use Beauty Powders as highlight (especially Pretty Baby, Tahitian Sand, and Alpha Girl). I have swatched Summer Rose BP at my CCO and I didn’t like how it turned out. So I may end up passing Summer Rose again this year.
Aamina
Tuesday, March 2, 2010Shell Pearl looks divine!
Annie
Tuesday, March 2, 2010I really like both of them! I’m exceptionally pale and am new to blushes, I’m looking for a nice one to start out with. Which of these would you recommend, Christine?
Thanks for the post, as always!
Christine
Tuesday, March 2, 2010I think either would work, but Summer Rose is a bit more of a traditional blush color and doesn’t have any frostiness to it!
Annie
Wednesday, March 3, 2010Thank you! :]
Christy
Tuesday, March 2, 2010Initially I was thinking of getting Summer Rose, but it doesn’t seem like a shade I’d wear all too often. I think for packaging reasons alone, I’ll be getting Shell Pearl. I have it from one of last year’s Look In a Box sets. I’ve used it many times layered over a more pigmented blush.
daphne
Tuesday, March 2, 2010Shell Pearl is gorgeous! I have to admit though, I was hoping it was a little *lighter* in color – I didn’t want it to be so pigmented as to work as a blush on me. It’s sort of too close to some of my blushes, like Springsheen, and I was hoping it would be more of a layering highlighter. Hrmm. Will have to decide in person if it’ a must-have or too much of a dupe of other things. I’m feeling more interested in Prim & Proper blush, now.
Christine
Tuesday, March 2, 2010Hey Daphne,
You can use it with a lighter hand :) It is a heavier swatch to show how more intensity you can build, but with a brush, I don’t see it being easy to go overboard if you just want to use it as a highlighter!
daphne
Tuesday, March 2, 2010Thanks :) Maybe the 188 will be just the thing to apply it with…I hope one of the MAs can try it on me tonight!
daphne
Wednesday, March 3, 2010Dang, it ended up being so darn SUBTLE on my skin. Could barely see it even in the bright lighting of the MAC store :(
amy
Tuesday, March 2, 2010I have Shell Pearl, it is pretty but I find it a bit light and shimmery for my skin tone, so I don’t wear it very often.
jhene04
Tuesday, March 2, 2010this packaging looks to gawdy to me. i probably will just get the two lipglasses
Anaelle
Tuesday, March 2, 2010Besides Blue India, I think “Shell Pearl” is definitely my 2nd “must have” from this release!
I’m really light-skinned (huh, does it work as an adjective or am I inventing it?)and it looks pefect to add a healthy glow to my face!
Can’t wait for April!
NuNu
Tuesday, March 2, 2010I’m currently a NC15-20 and around a NC25 during summer. Which BP do you think will give me better all round usage?
Christine
Tuesday, March 2, 2010Shell Pearl!
Alice
Tuesday, March 2, 2010Christine, how would you compare Summer Rose to Pinch O’ Peach? I have the latter and always regretted not getting the former when Rose Romance came out… but right now, they’re looking awfully similar.
Also, do you think Shell Pearl would be too late on NC20-NC25 skin?
Christine
Tuesday, March 2, 2010I think they’re sort of similar, but Pinch O’ Peach has more of a peach tone to it and Summer Rose doesn’t have that at all.
I don’t think it would be too light!
Hazel
Tuesday, March 2, 2010Hello Christine! Do you think Shell Pearl could possibly work as a blush for me? Would building it up make it very frosty?? ‘Cos I’m NC25-30 and a bit yellowish.
(oh and, do you think it’s similar to Light Flush MSF, or any other cheek products you can think of??)
Thanks! =D
Christine
Tuesday, March 2, 2010I think it could be a subtle, everyday kind of blush!
It’s like a more champagne version of Springsheen perhaps!
Mercedes
Tuesday, March 2, 2010I am an NC30 do you think summer rose would be ashy looking on my skin and would shell pearl be too light? Ive never tried a beauty powder and really want to try one of these..which do you think would be best?
Christine
Tuesday, March 2, 2010I don’t think it’d be ashy on you, but it’ll be very subtle. I don’t think Shell Pearl would be too light either – I’d go for Shell Pearl though!
Natalia
Tuesday, March 2, 2010shell pearl is gorgeous but I LOATHE this print!!!! leave it to MAC to get me to work past my fear/hate of birds…
KIKI
Tuesday, March 2, 2010I’m sooooo there with you! I thought i was the only one!
Casey
Tuesday, March 2, 2010Ooh lala…I really like Shell Pearl since its different than anything I own. It would probably make a nice highlighter on some skin tones.
Nikki
Tuesday, March 2, 2010I just bought Azalea Blossom from the Spring Colour Forecast and I love it. Do you think its too similar to Summer Rose, or should I get it as well?
Christine
Wednesday, March 3, 2010It’s not as pigmented as Azalea Blossom – I don’t love Summer Rose, just because it’s very subtle :(
Nikki
Wednesday, March 3, 2010Thanks! I think I just might skip it and go for Shell Pearl instead. BTW, I absolutely adore your site. Its where I get all my MAC info! Couldn’t live without it!
Christine
Thursday, March 4, 2010Thanks, Nikki :)
Eyeris
Tuesday, March 2, 2010Hey cristine these look ssssssoooooooooo pretty. Do you think that summer rose looks like Coygirl or well dressed blush?
Christine
Wednesday, March 3, 2010More like Coygirl + Pink Swoon, but not as pigmented.
Aubrey
Thursday, March 4, 2010I have Summer Rose and coygirl. They look remarkably similar in the pan. However, when swiped side by side, Summer Rose is frostier.
Piper
Tuesday, March 2, 2010What is the difference between beauty powders and blush? How would you use this product??????
Christine
Wednesday, March 3, 2010You can use beauty powders as blushes, highlighters, bronzers, or all-over powders, depending on your skin tone and the shade.
Nicole
Tuesday, March 2, 2010Prim & Proper and Shell Pearl look similar. I’ve never tried a beauty powder…is it worth getting both of those? If you had to choose one, which would you pick?
Christine
Wednesday, March 3, 2010I’d probably go Shell Pearl, but I like the shimmer of it :)
Mina
Tuesday, March 2, 2010Hi Christine, Is shell pearl similar to peachykeen or like springsheen?
Christine
Wednesday, March 3, 2010Kind of, it’s like maybe Trace Gold and Springsheen had a baby.
Sarina
Tuesday, March 2, 2010I have really light to pale skin and how would Shell pearl look
is it a blush bronzer or a highlighter?
and what is a lustre drop? lol
Thanks Christine
Christine
Wednesday, March 3, 2010Blush and a highlighter.
Lustre drops are like liquid highlighters :)
Sarina
Tuesday, March 2, 2010Shell powder is really pretty
but i don’t know if i should get it :-/
how’s it working on you?
do you like it?
Christine
Wednesday, March 3, 2010I like it :)
Silvia
Tuesday, March 2, 2010shell pearl looks to me a bit similar to bobbi browns illuminating bronzer in Maui – I love that one. i am NC43 and it warms up the skin.
samantha
Tuesday, March 2, 2010I’m definitely going to get SP!
Zinnia
Tuesday, March 2, 2010loving shell pearl
Kelly
Tuesday, March 2, 2010do these come with a little sponge beneath like Studio Fix powders do?
Christine
Wednesday, March 3, 2010I don’t think so!
Kelly
Wednesday, March 3, 2010bummer! I use Studio Fix and I don’t use the sponge, but once or twice I’ve gone away and forgotten my brushes (I’ve never made a worse travel mistake!) and have been able to make do with the sponge. At least it has the mirror!
Hiromi
Tuesday, March 2, 2010OMG. Shell Pearl looks awesome! It was not on my list before, but I want it now!!
Lily
Tuesday, March 2, 2010Hey Christine! I’m around a NC25-30. Do you think the color will show up on me, and do you think it will show the shimmer on my face? Cause I don’t like to wear products that are too shimmery like the MSF cause in the sun, I will look like a disco ball.
Christine
Wednesday, March 3, 2010Shell Pearl will show up a bit, but it is pretty shimmery – much like MSFs!
Nene
Tuesday, March 2, 2010I bought Summer Rose last year and deeply regret it! I’m very pale, but the color doesn’t show up at all and if I use it as a powder all over the face, it doesn’t give any effect. Total waste of money :(
Norma
Tuesday, March 2, 2010Shell pearl looks like must!
=]
Bridgette
Tuesday, March 2, 2010Im not a big fan of beauty powders but I really like Shell Pearl!
Shivani
Tuesday, March 2, 2010Out of these two which one would you recommend for NC 40 skin?
Christine
Wednesday, March 3, 2010Only Shell Pearl!
Jody Brown
Tuesday, March 2, 2010I am a NC20. I use my Shell Pearl as a highlighter. It is to light as a blush for me.
civa
Tuesday, March 2, 2010def need to get my hands on shell pearl!<3
Michelle
Tuesday, March 2, 2010I went to the party, and Shell Pearl was the one i was looking to get, but it was so disappointing. It looked like peach foil on the skin, i would highly recommend Prim and Proper blush out of the collection before the Shell Pearl.
Vale
Wednesday, March 3, 2010I simply hate the packaging… too “gaudy”, but Shell Pearl is fantastic. And that’s strange since usually I don’t like peach colours!
Vale
Mell
Wednesday, March 3, 2010Which one do you think would look nicer in NC55 skin
Christine
Wednesday, March 3, 2010Shell Pearl, but it’ll be a highlighter on your skin tone for sure!
Ksenia
Wednesday, March 3, 2010In love with Shell Pearl Beauty Powder!!
Vonvon
Wednesday, March 3, 2010At first glance, I thought of getting Summer Rose, but after seeing the swatches, I think Shell Pearl is more wearable for day-to-day, looks more natural with slight hint of shimmer.
Taylor
Wednesday, March 3, 2010Is the Shell Pearl similar to Soft and Gentle?
Christine
Wednesday, March 3, 2010It has more peach/shimmer in it, and the finish is different – I think you could easily substitute in Soft & Gentle, though.
Michelle
Wednesday, March 3, 2010By this picture, I’d say that Summer Rose looks a lot like Pink Swoon (sheertone blush).. Do you think I’m right, or not?
Christine
Wednesday, March 3, 2010I don’t think they’re alike, personally. Pink Swoon is very pinky on me!
Hpnotiqz
Wednesday, March 3, 2010Hi Christine,
Is the design on the compact engraved in or is it a decal that might rub/scratch off?
I’m probably picking up shell pearl.
Christine
Wednesday, March 3, 2010It’s printed, so it’s not a decal or sticker!
Andrea
Wednesday, March 3, 2010Christine, do you think Summer Rose is different enough from Azalea Blossom for it to be worth getting both? (I already bought Azalea Blossom, but Summer Rose looks nice too).
Christine
Wednesday, March 3, 2010It’s so soft, I’d probably pass and just use Azalea Blossom :)
Andrea
Wednesday, March 3, 2010Thanks! Yay, savings!
Sandy
Wednesday, March 3, 2010I like both of these powders and I think they’ll both show up on me (I’m NW25). But I like Shell Pearl better, I think I will pick it up :)
egon
Wednesday, March 3, 2010Shell Pearl looks gorgeous but I have to try in store first ! I have oily skin and I’m afraid it will emphasize my pores
diana
Wednesday, March 3, 2010hey Chrisitne is Shell Pearl kind of like an MSF??? i want to get it. But msf’s break me out.
Christine
Wednesday, March 3, 2010It has the same kind of look as a MSF as far as shimmer goes, but in my experience, while MSFs can sometimes break me out, the beauty powders haven’t done so (yet!).
Bits
Wednesday, March 3, 2010Hi Christine,
Is Shell Pearl similar at all to Bobbi Brown’s Nectar Shimmer Brick? If they are similar, which one would you prefer?
Christine
Thursday, March 4, 2010Nah! I like Nectar, just ’cause I am more of a coral blush kind of gal!
cmferrets
Wednesday, March 3, 2010i like them both. but i think the summer rose u have from this collection looks diff from the one from the rose romance bc this one is alot more pigmented compared to the swatches. i already have the one from rose romance, do u think u can do a swatch comparison for use please. the rose romance one looked alot sheerer.
Christine
Wednesday, March 3, 2010They’re the same!
kali
Wednesday, March 3, 2010I keep contemplating getting “Shell Pearl.” I loveeee the packaging!! ..but it looks like an exact dupe to my Smashbox Soft Lights in “Tint.” =O ..Not sure if I should get it. What do you think? Have you tried any of the Smashbox Soft Lights?
Christine
Thursday, March 4, 2010I don’t own any, just swatched some in-store. I’d say the shimmer in Shell Pearl is more obvious/chunkier than Soft Lights.
Tiffany
Wednesday, March 3, 2010need them both!!
AgnesONutter
Wednesday, March 3, 2010They both look gorgeous. How does Shell Pearl compare to Candlelight?
Christine
Thursday, March 4, 2010More peach/champagne, not so pink.
Trisha Mae!
Wednesday, March 3, 2010Christine! Are these BPs that pigmented or did you just heavily swatch them?♥
Christine
Thursday, March 4, 2010They’re more heavily swatched, I’d say. Shell Pearl is decently pigmented.
Eliza
Thursday, March 4, 2010Hey, they are so pretty! I’m NW35-42, will SP be able to show up on my skin? Do you think Summer rose will be ashy for me? I want to get them online so i cant swatch it 1st! :(
Christine
Thursday, March 4, 2010Lightly, definitely more as a highlighter than a blusher! Summer Rose will be very, very subtle on you – I probably wouldn’t bother!
ell
Thursday, March 4, 2010do you think that summer rose will look ashy on NC55 skin
Christine
Thursday, March 4, 2010I think it’ll bare show up on the skin so probably not worth getting to begin with!
Brian Kelly
Thursday, March 4, 2010I may just shell out the cash for Shell Pearl. I hate anything coral but if it has a good glow to it and is more peach-colored then I’m def. game!
Irene
Thursday, March 4, 2010Hi Christine! How comparable do you think this is to the LE Pearl Blossom highlight powder?
Christine
Thursday, March 4, 2010Not at all :( Wish it was – one of my favorite products ever.
Joanna
Friday, March 5, 2010Hi hun..
I was wondering which is nicer in you opinion ?
RHapsody in two or Shell Pearl ?
I can’t choose.
Christine
Friday, March 5, 2010Rhapsody in Two is more like a blush, Shell Pearl is more like a highlighter.
Kalee
Sunday, March 7, 2010im getting shell pearl. looks sooo pretty.
cbh02b
Sunday, March 7, 2010Hi Christine!
Is shell pearl similar to rhapsody in 2? Thanks!
Christine
Sunday, March 7, 2010Peachier!
Christa
Monday, March 8, 2010Hi Christine! I’m around NW10-15 and I need to buy a pink blush. Should I give Summer Rose a try or is there something I should pick up from the regular line that would be better? I wish I had have picked up Azalea Blossom while I had the chance :( Thanks!
Christine
Monday, March 8, 2010I think you’d like Well-Dressed from the permanent line! :)
Chennel
Monday, March 8, 2010Do you think Shell Pearl is simular to Refined MSF?
Christine
Thursday, March 11, 2010Not quite as bronze, I’d say!
Fernanda
Monday, March 8, 2010hi
christine i am from mexico
and im a suchh a bif fan of you!!!
my questions
what is a beauty powder?
whats the one you recommend mefrom this collection?
im a medium skin type
thanks byee:D
Christine
Thursday, March 11, 2010I think you’d like Shell Pearl! Beauty powders are like highlighters or blushes.
lynn
Tuesday, March 9, 2010how does shell pearl compare to benefit dandelion? which has more shimmer?
shell pearl looks lovely, but I’m worried about the shimmers.
Christine
Thursday, March 11, 2010More shimmer, more pigmented, I’d say…
Cherie
Tuesday, March 9, 2010Thanks for the swatches Christine!
Question… with background…
• In blushes I have NARS Orgasm, MAC’s Buff and Ripe Peach.
• I have Soft & Gentle (not a big fan of this as it makes me have jumbo pores but it’s nice on side cheek/temple area) and Porcelain Pink MSF (I’m meh about this product and use it as a side cheek/temple area highlighter only).
• For highlighters I have NARS Cococabaña multiple and MACs Accentuate.
• I’m NW15 with brown eyes/hair.
Based on the products I have, my skin color and my love of peach/coral/pinks, is Shell Pearl something that I should pick up? Or should I wait for the Beach
Christine
Tuesday, March 9, 2010Hey Cherie,
I think if you are not a big fan of the MSFs, even though this is subtle, you may still find that the shimmery-ness of Shell Pearl still emphasizes your pores, to be honest!
Cherie
Tuesday, March 9, 2010Phew! Thanks for saving me some $$$ and regret :)
Danielle
Tuesday, March 9, 2010I love the look of Shell Pearl, I will have to look out for it at my CCO.
marina
Wednesday, March 10, 2010if i have soft and gentle and by candelight do i really need shell pearl? :)
Christine
Wednesday, March 10, 2010I think you could skip!
Claudia
Wednesday, March 10, 2010I knew i had shell pearl it was released in the look in a box set. it is beautiful. thanks christine , thanks to you i didnt buy another one and made sure i had it lol =)
Jaz
Wednesday, March 10, 2010Hey Christine. :]
I was wondering which BP would be better for my skin tone? I’m about an NC 15 or NC 20.
I would like to use one for all over my face, not just a blush or a highlighter.
Christine
Thursday, March 11, 2010I’d say Shell Pearl!
diana
Wednesday, March 10, 2010Chrisitine is shell pearl anything like other wordly blush ????
Christine
Thursday, March 11, 2010IMO, not at all!
Sakura
Wednesday, March 10, 2010Hey Christine, awesome posts as always.
I usually only buy beauty powders for their packaging, so I already have “Tahitian Sand” from the Hello Kitty Collection. Do you think those that and Shell Pearl are kind of similar in color, just that Shell Pearl has more of a sheen to it? I really like the Summer Rose as well; would it look as natural as the Cremeblend blushes from the Lillyland collection if I wore it on my cheek a little bit more heavier? Sorry if you don’t really remember how both of the older products I mentioned look like, but thanks for being amazing as usual! :D
Nicole
Thursday, March 11, 2010I was pleasantly surprised with shell pearl! It’s so pink and gorgeous on me..not much peach at all on me :)
MereMakeupManiac
Thursday, March 11, 2010i agree Shell Pearl is uber pretty! question though: do you think it resembles Milani Minerals’ Luminous or is SP still lighter than that?
Christine
Friday, March 12, 2010I don’t have that one :/
Humma
Tuesday, March 23, 2010Luminous is a lot pinker/slightly peach/gold flecks. Love it but hate the packaging.
Shell Pearl is more like Soft & Gentle/By Candlelight. More like S&G though. It’s a champagne-pinky-peach.
Desiree
Thursday, March 11, 2010Christine, which do you think would look better on someone with NW20 skintone?
Christine
Friday, March 12, 2010Shell Pearl, still, if only because Summer Rose is so, so hard to get to show up!
Rosie
Thursday, March 11, 2010Is shell pearl anything like spaced out blush?
Christine
Friday, March 12, 2010I don’t think so! :/
jennylevi
Thursday, March 11, 2010I want to get this beauty powder but I think is similar to By Candlelight. Do you think the color is the same?
Christine
Friday, March 12, 2010Similar, not as pink I’d say.
Aida
Friday, March 12, 2010Christine, thanks for the swatches. I’m interested in Shell Pearl also but I have two questions. First, have you tried using it and did it break you out? The second question is – is this similar to Dior’s Rose or Amber Diamond as a highlighter? I already have Rose Diamond. Thanks so much!
Christine
Friday, March 12, 2010It didn’t break me out!
More similar to Amber Diamond than Rose, though it’s much more heavy/shimmery.
Nabila
Friday, March 12, 2010I’m wearing Shell Pearl today! It’s so beautiful – reminds me of Nars Luster but with more pink, and more shimmer than color (if that makes sense).
Rosie
Friday, March 12, 2010I just bought Shell pearl and came home and compared it to hard candy’s Honeymoon and they look almost identical when swatched with the dif that honeymoon is more pigmented so has to be used with a light hand.
fi
Friday, March 12, 2010If you had to choose, would you go for the shell pearl or prim n proper?
Christine
Friday, March 12, 2010Prim & Proper
sally
Friday, March 12, 2010hi Christine, is Shell pearl similar to MSF refined and perfect topping?
Christine
Friday, March 12, 2010It’s almost like a mix of the two!
Kerry
Tuesday, March 16, 2010Hi Christine,
If I already have Azalea Blossom, do I need to have Summer Rose, or would it be too similar on the cheek? I’m NC30.
Christine
Wednesday, March 17, 2010Skip!
Marianna
Monday, March 22, 2010Ciao, I’m from Italy ;)
How do you compare Shell Pearl Beauty Powder to Springsheen blush? I’m NC20 with combination skin, and I fear that Shell Pearl could be too light to be used both as a blush and as a highlighter…
Thank you!
Christine
Monday, March 22, 2010It’s too light to be used as a blush for just about any skin tone, to be honest!
elen
Saturday, April 17, 2010Christine, need your advice: may I use the fist beauty powder like a blush and what do your think will it look good on we(I have ivory skin, dark eyes and blondy hair)
Christine
Monday, April 19, 2010Try the champagne-y one!
Ioanna
Thursday, May 20, 2010Hi Christine! Is shell pearl similar to hush ccb comparing colors? Could shell p. replace hush?? Thank you :)
Christine
Friday, May 21, 2010I think it could :)
Ioanna

Thursday, May 20, 2010They’re similar – I’d say Hush has more of a metallic sheen, Shell is frostier.
