HELP!! Questions!!

Post by colie079 » Thu Apr 23, 2009 10:45 am

A few question please!! Does SN have a FO brush, i got one a while back from EDM but it is NOT a true FO brush!! Does anyone know which SN blushes are blue based?? Those are the only ones i can wear, the yellow based ones turn orange right away on me. And lastly, is date bait for light complexions only?? I am pretty tan, and how pink is it?? Thanks!!!

We have a small FO brush that has been out of stock, but it is back in and should be back up soon.

Date Bait is for anyone who likes a touch of pink. I don't think it is just for light complexions, but you might want to sample just to be certain you like how it looks.

Blue based blushes.......try Tart or Tart Light and Cosmic for the coolest toned ones. Charming, Babydoll, and Lady are also on the cool side, but not as cool toned as the first ones I mentioned.

If you're really tan, Petal wouldn't work for you because it's light, but that's definitely cool-toned. As is Carnal - that's a great one. And Flirt works fine on me.

I like Pretty Plum, too, but that one I usually have to cut because I'm pale, ditto Babydoll and Charming, though those are definitely cool - so why Carnal works on its own is a mystery.

And Lady is just about perfect, too.

My go-to's tend to be:

Lady
Tart Light
Flirt
Petal
Carnal

Hope this helps.

The best I can suggest is to try samples of both Tart and Tart Light and see which one suits you. I've a friend who's darker than me, but Tart Light works better for her, and there are some fair girls that regular Tart works really well for.

To my eye, Tart Light (or even the original, I had a sample of that) doesn't look as bright on as Babydoll or Charming, but that may just be an individual preference, or maybe Tart matches my skin tone a little better. Not that the other two are bad, but they're a lot more obvious on me even with the FO brush unless i mix them with a bit of Perfecting Powder first.
