Sheer Shimmers
I noticed a lot of ppl have never heard/seen these. They are hidden on the MAC site. I love these, I dont use them as a blush rather I use them over my blush- it makes your cheeks look so pretty. My fave is Pink Flurry which I put over my empire and on my lids and anywhere else needed w/the blush to put some colour on my face. I have all of them but I really dont like the Norwegian Wood one- its taupe w/silver flecks, it looks horrible on me and im light/med skin tone, I know it wouldnt look good on darker skin tones because it would just look ashy and I sure as hell know it would look like grey dirt on fair skintones, so I have yet to figure out what the hell to do with this one- but I will keep it for work or if I ever end up finding something with it. I would really suggest getting one or two, they are VERY versatile and pretty much fool proof. If you go on the MAC site and do a search under sheer shimmer powders you should find them- they are in the same compact/size as the blushes- same price too.
Fair-Light skin: Pinky flurry is nice, but some say this doesnt show up on them, maybe because they are soley using it as a blush instead of using it as an accent. Trixie looks really good as well, but might be a tad too much depending how light you are. Bjeweled works too.
Ligh-Med skin: If you fit here you can get away with just about most of the shimmers (I'm an NC30 if that helps some) Pink flurry, Taffy is great as a shimmery bronzer all over, I wear a bit over my spice or prism blush when I'm wearing a nuetral face . Mellow Mood is great as a highlighter for med skin tones- doesnt show too well on fair ones. and if you have a darker complexion but you lean towards the lighter side this might look good as well. although I think it would look a bit ashy on Dark complexions, depending how you use it. Trixie and b - jeweled look real nice too.
Med-dark skin tones: Taffy will work good for olive complexion and/or dark tones that are on the lighter side. It wont show up too much. Sound trip looks really good too, but not too much starting with this one- its a golden copper colour. Revenge is really pretty as well its copper bronze- sound trip leans more towards the redder side.
All of these depend on which way you wear it and what blush (if you choose too) wear it with.
Femme Noir is on the MAC site. I would really reccomend you checking out the veluxe shadows especially if you tend to have oily lids. The staying power on these are amazing. Just remember MAC will be pretty much putting out new things each month until December.
