@Sunnysmom Are you using it on it’s own or under foundation?

[Sunnysmom]

I’ve used it alone, under and over tho I really only use tinted moisturizers or very lightest of foundation  @makeitup305 ! It really works all ways. So pretty. Has more body to it than CT filter or others like that.  Mine is 2 not 2N btw. I goofed writing that! 

[makeitup305]

Thanks @Sunnysmom !

Amazing picks! The DIOR Forever Glow Star Filter Multi-Use Complexion Enhancing Booster  sounds amazing 🤩 @makeitup305 

[makeitup305]

@peculiarzmakeup I need to try a sample before splurging I think!

[peculiarzmakeup]

The best way to know is to sample haha it is very helpful to know if it works for you 🫶 @makeitup305

@makeitup305  So many great choices 😀

[danielledanielle]

@makeitup305 , thoughtful picks!

DIOR Forever Glow Maximizer Longwear Liquid Highlighter 016 Bronze.  I have this shade.  It can work depending on your undertone and preference. It sort of works as a bronzer for me... And yet it doesn't.  It's a very subtle highlight IMO, so to get a bronzing effect, I had to use Dior Rosy Glow Blush 020 Mahogany to get the gradient I usually go for.  It doesn't make me look orange or burned, but it's pinky-ish undertone kinda offsets any bronzing quality with my undertone (neutral/olive).  I'm thinking of getting another DIOR Forever Glow Star Filter Multi-Use Complexion Enhancing Booster in the next shade (5N; 4N is what I purchased, it's lighter than I expected) to mimick a liquid bronzer.  I was also considering Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Positive Light Liquid Luminizer Highlight Reflect , but just picked up the powder and feel like that's too much of a good thing.

ETA: I needed something to do and it's a mix of overcast and sunny sooo..... unsolicited swatch time!

Overcast.  Left to right RB Good Energy, RB Reflect, 2 layers of Dior Bronze, 1 layer Dior of Bronze , Dior Star Filter drop, Star Filter + Bronze, Star Filter smaller dot (I meant to blend this out and forgot 🤦🏽‍♀️) and Dior Bronze.

In sunlight

 

Spoiler

The original line up in overcast , I added Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Warm Wishes Effortless Cream Bronzer Stick Good Energy later.

@danielledanielle thanks so much for the swatches! I think it might be a little to rosy for my undertones. I'm a neutral undertone but tend to lean more yellow than pink so idk if it'll work the way I want it to. That RB looks like it would be a great sculpting shade for you. I always meant to try the RB bronzing sticks but never have. I need to commit to using up my Westman Atelier first.

Except for the blurring balm, I'd get these too😍 @Samtian I'm so curious about the Kilian ginger😍

[Samtian]

@Buootiful I wish there was a travel size. I'll have to check for samplers.

[danielledanielle]

Hee hee @Samtian , this is a good list.   You thought well!

[Samtian]

@danielledanielle Thank you!

[Sunnysmom]

It’s a great list @Samtian ! I think I’m the only human who hasn’t tried the DM balm powder. Do you currently use it? 

[Samtian]

@Sunnysmom 😞 I haven't tried it either. I thought it was coming to the bazaar last month but never saw it. And the reward with it and a few other things sold out before I could get to it. 

[Cissy63]

@Samtian  Oh that bottle from Kilian looks Gorgeous 😍.  

[Samtian]

@Cissy63 It does. I'm a sucker for blue glassware lol. 

[peculiarzmakeup]

Love these choices! That looks like such an amazing blush. This and the blush vs contour thread has me deciding between so many amazing looking blushes! @Samtian 💕

[Samtian]

@peculiarzmakeup At Sephoria the Patrick TA booth used some of their blushes on me and it looked amazing. So I really want to try this new shade. I started scrolling on the madness thread and thought this is a bad idea for my ever growing wish lists.
