@Ispend2much6 It definitely does not look cool tone. More warm tone from what I saw in store. 

[Ispend2much6]

@SportyGirly125  Thanks so much!!

[KNC24]

I still haven’t both my items yet. Work has been crazy 

[aviscardi]

How does everyone feel about the satin vs demi matte formula? No one has mentioned if the shimmer is noticeable on the face. The most shimmer blush i have is CT, love the color but it’s a bit shimmery for my every day picks. 

[SportyGirly125]

@aviscardi I did a look and posted it on the What are you wearing today Pt2 thread.  I put Nude Venus and Desert Orchid on.  You can barely see the shimmer unless you look super close up.

[Sunnysmom]

@aviscardi I agree with @WinglessOne and @Ispend2much6 . It is a very subtle shimmer on me. I have Cherish (broken being replaced, Nymphette, and Divine Rose here as well as the highlighter. Left to right. I think you can see the shimmer slightly better in the darker pic.  All appear cool toned on me with Divine Rose being more neutral, and I’m light to light medium-ish fyi. The highlighter has the slightest pink shift to it , so pretty! Love them so far!

  

[Buootiful]

Thanks so much for the swatches @Sunnysmom ! I think I will be shying away from the pearly ones. Oh my, that Cherish is gorgeous. PMG's swatches did not do it justice.❤️

[Sunnysmom]

Thanks @Buootiful ! I love seeing everyone’s! It’s so fresh and pretty isn’t it! The shimmer is sooo slight tho I would see em in person and see what you think! I find I need a little sometimes to help out this skin of mine! 🙃

 I obviously swatched crazy heavy on the highlighter too! I have to watch these too. 💞

[aviscardi]

Thanks everyone. I always compare to CT because i love the shade climax but Q why i keep the other two when i don’t reach for them due to the shimmer. Or at least pillow talk since that comes off more shimmer than tone on me. I like to make sure i use a totally matte bronzer under them.  I will keep PMG on my wishlist for now :]  

[blackkitty2014]

Oh no ! Now I want that highlighter @Sunnysmom 😘

[Sunnysmom]

😂 @blackkitty2014 a birthday treat for you! I was worried it was too gold but it isn’t when on. I did this comparison to her other ones because I worried was a duplicate but as luck would have it it is not! 😂 Close but not quite. Not sure if it would help you to see them side by side. 🤗 Very heavy swatches obviously. Lol. 

 

 

[blackkitty2014]

Thx you @Sunnysmom 🌹 They are pretty aren’t they 🥰

[niki172]

@Sunnysmom oh no not you too with a broken pan! Divine Rose looks stunning on your skin!

[Sunnysmom]

Hee hee I know right @niki172 ?! It got all over me too and then when I attempted swatching it. Still finding it on stuff! I think Divine Rose is truly a stunning shade. 
Also when I got Lovestruck today it was wrapped sooo well. Inside with bubble wrap then folded over in bubble wrap envelope then in a box. Now that’s how you do it! The other order tho, nope!  

[Ispend2much6]

@Sunnysmom   I should have gone with Cherish, I see.

[Sunnysmom]

It’s super pretty @Ispend2much6 , you would like it I know! Lovestruck is also such a pretty shade. It’s not at all as bright as it appears. Here it is. 

[WinglessOne]

@aviscardi  So far, the only pearl satin finish PMG blush I have is Desert Orchid. On my skin tone, the pearl shimmer is noticeable but it's not super glittery or sparkly. It looks like a subtle pearly gold sheen on my face (unless I look in a 10x mirror to magnify the shimmery bits, but who looks at anyone with 10x vision 😂). Hourglass Strobe blushes are far more shimmery than this. In fact, NARS shimmer blushes are more shimmery—but again, I only have Desert Orchid to compare to them. I have another pearl satin finish coming soon, so I'll be able to compare that one too. 

[aviscardi]

Yes that’s the one i am most interested in, possibly nude Venus. Funny because as i wrote my comment above I’m realizing duh yes i have 2 NARS blushes and those are more (dare i say) glittery in the pan LOL. Illicit is one of my faves and i don’t find it looks that way on the face. it reminds me of a matte shadow where the shimmer flecks fall off when you apply versus something that has a sheen

[Ispend2much6]

@aviscardi  To me, the PM shimmer blushes are very, very subtle.  CT's are much more noticeable (which I love, because I don't need a highlighter with them.)

Here's some swatches from The Beauty Look Book.  Nymphette and Nude Venus are the pearl shades; Cherish is a demi-matte.

There is very little difference between the two formulas, at least in these shades.

[SportyGirly125]

@aviscardi I have both formulas on hand but have not tried them yet.

[niki172]

Has anyone had any dealings with PMG customer service? I received my divine trio today and my poor palette 😭....

 I did email CS and sent this pic. The blush and the highlighter came in just fine, but I had that sinking feeling when I opened up the carton and saw the tell tale signs of loose powder on the outside of the compact 💔
