Should I hold out for the Mouche de Beaute instead? It seems "warmer" toned, which is what I need. I can't buy both, unfortunately. My skin is 4.25 (natural tan) or 4.5 (warm natural) in Bobbi Brown.Catherinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-20738289921147960892013-01-25T15:16:39.675-05:002013-01-25T15:16:39.675-05:00Interesting, Christina, because it's a sheen, ...Interesting, Christina, because it's a sheen, not sparkly, on my skin.

If you want a finishing powder, why not the new Guerlain Météorites in Perles du Paradis? Even they are a bit of a highlighting powder. Consider (strongly) Chantecaille's HD powder for a finishing powder, and use this one for highlights.Charlestongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269794937743797142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-39634433286693626082013-01-22T20:17:12.136-05:002013-01-22T20:17:12.136-05:00I really like some of the new illuminating powders...I really like some of the new illuminating powders, but have a dumb question.
