Having a hard time finding a color match with HG?

im a light to medium with light olive coloring. In NARS I am Deauville and GUADALOPE in the summer! Any suggestions on what shade to look into for HG?

Saw these comparisons on IG and thought there would be interest given the conversations about these palettes.

@TraceyEB I'm thinking of getting the sculpt and set even though I still have the 1st Unlocked palette. I do want the Butterfly and Tiger shades in the new palette, though. I'm not sure if so much powder will look that good on my older skin.

[TraceyEB]

@curlychiquita, I see @Titian06 expertly answered your question below. I've only layered Ambient blush and Diffused Infusion powder, with no issues.

[curlychiquita]

Thanks, @TraceyEB! That's good to know!

[Titian06]

@curlychiquita - I use powder everything (almost) on my ancient face.  Try using a soft, fluffy brush and swipe it across your face to give a gentle brushing of powder.  It won't look like you packed it on.  If you apply too much, take a clean brush and brush off the excess.

[curlychiquita]

@Titian06 , thank you! I have a second question for you - do you use the strobe light powder as a highlight or all over?

[Titian06]

@curlychiquita - I prefer using the strobe powders as highlighters.  I think they're too shiny for an overall powder. 🙂

[curlychiquita]

Awesome, thanks, @Titian06!

[Titian06]

OMGosh, @TraceyEB !  No wonder I like that top palette so much! 🤣🦋  Thanks for sharing.

[TraceyEB]

@Titian06, I was surprised to see so many shades repeated from the Butterfly palette!

[Loretta55]

The breakdown was very helpful @TraceyEB. Thank you very much.

[TraceyEB]

@Loretta55, glad it helped!

Just saw this on my IG feed.

@Loretta55 @Sunnysmom - If the blush palette had finishing powders or only one highlighter and finishing powders, I would get that in a heartbeat.  I'm good to go with my Butterfly palette! 🦋

[Sunnysmom]

That would be a nice idea @Titian06 . I’d like to see an all blush palette. Just blow it out 😂. 

[Sunnysmom]

They’re really rolling out the new stuff now eh @Loretta55 ? Pretty palettes for summer though the repeat shades are tricky. Are you getting any? I will pass with these . 

[Loretta55]

I agree @Sunnysmom. Nothing exciting about these releases. I was hoping for something new.

[Sunnysmom]

@Loretta55 I do appreciate them combining different shades for folks in their palettes . These are probably very good for people who don’t have as many as some of us *ahem , hoarders have. I’m only speaking for myself here! 😂
