When you see one of BE’s earlier kits that contains two bolder shades, even if one of them is a pink-orange…you start to realize just how geared toward the “natural look” BE’s entire makeup line is. This isn’t necessarily a good thing or a bad thing...
I was able to find spares of nearly every color in the Rebel Bloom collection…except this one. And I really wanted a “backup” of this one! Fortunately, it's similar enough to MAC's Stormy Pink (which I do have) that I can cope with not having a spare. This one's...
This one leans ever-so-slightly yellow. It isn't the best color on me, but it isn't the worst by a long shot. It doesn't have the same level of brightening effects of MAC's Soft Ochre, but it's similar. If you have extremely cool skintones, this may not look very good on...
