Boy oh boy was this a mistake purchase for me! Always always always test the colour you are buying! I'd allowed myself to get into a comfort zone with MAC! Usually whatever was recommended from lipcolours to foundation worked for me and so i purchased recommendations! I had wanted a winey rosy blush to make my cheeks pop! This would look gorgeous as the highlighted feature on a nude face! It's probably suited for NC 50 or deeper ! I'm a NW 42 to a NC 45! This makes me look like I've got punched in the face! Look its merits are that it delivers colour true pigments but even with using a highlighter and a pale blush to soften its simply too loud and severe for me! I've done my darndest to tone it down but i believe this colour will rock on deeper skin tones!
