Blush intensity levels?

Post by Rhys » Fri Apr 24, 2009 1:15 pm

Hi Jen (or anyone who's got a few of them):

I can wear: Petal, Flirt, Tart Light, Lady, even Carnal and Embrace no problem. Can get away with Rich and Climax sometimes when I've got a bit of sun, then my skin warms up enough. Didn't think I'd be able to wear Rich, but I can.

Now, if I cut them with Perfecting Powder, or a glow, I can wear Babydoll, Pretty Plum, and Charming - otherwise they're too dark/bright/something on me. Yes, this is weird - Carnal's a lot darker than Charming, yet Charming's the one I need to dilute.

Where do Cosmic and Stardust fall in the intensity scale compared to the above? I'm still not sure if it's a skintone issue, or a too much colour issue.

Thanks.

Cosmic is the more intense of the two. I think Stardust is about the intensity of something you would not need to cut. You might have to cut Cosmic, though. Does that help at all?

That's what I was thinking, so I grabbed the Stardust, and decided to wait on anything else.

Thanks, Jen!
