MAC Venomous Villain: Briar Rose Beauty Powder

I was eagerly anticipating the launch of MAC Venomous Villain and I finally saw the products in person yesterday. After seeing Kristie's swatches, I thought I'd go for Her Own Devices and Heartless. I wasn't sure about Heartless when I tried it on. Her Own Devices looks lighter than I thought and I was afraid it might not even show up on me. Devilishly Stylish, Toxic Tale and Strange Potion were eye-catchers for me. Bite Of An Apple is an unique blush but I didn't like it on me.

In the end, I went home happily with Briar Rose from Maleficent collection. It was love at first sight. I didn't have anything similar. I know it looks nothing close to Well-Dressed but it somehow reminds of me of the blush my MUA used on me on my wedding day. I knew she's used Well-Dressed but when I swatched it in the store, there's no way the blush would show up on my NC35 skin! She's probably used a darker shade under Well-Dressed.

Briar Rose is cool-tone, violet pink. It gives a very natural looks (light pink) when apply lightly on my cheeks. I think it will be great to use Briar Rose as a highlight with Stark Naked and Dollymix.

  5. Briar Rose looks like a natural pink flush on you. Very pretty. You look very lovely and I'm glad to see a FOTD of you. No worries about being camera shy - I'm exactly the same as you :)

  6. Looks beautiful! I'm loving the Venomous Villains collection and have to admit I'd quite happily buy a lot of the items just for the fab packaging :)

  7. I love the Maleficent packaging. She's one of my favourite Disney villains :D I returned to MAC and bought Bite of An Apple and Revenge Is Sweet. I was quite surprised my store still has plenty of BOA.
