This is my sister's swatch, for reference she's around NC40/This appears lighter and peachier on me



The BamShell Thoughts>>>

Honestly, I've almost regretted buying this, especially when I found out that it's cheaper locally (lolz). I've only used this alone once coz the gold shimmers look too obvious on me and it's pinky peach shade doesn't look as flattering as mac dainty w/c is my fave pinky peach blush(Ref: NC25-30)

However, as you can see, this looks so great on my sister who has warmer complexion, this actually became her HG blush. Then she asked me to try it as a highlighter on top of a matte bronzer and other coral blush we got, and yeah.... It looked absolutely great!
