I have EXACTLY the same coloring! I can be pretty fair-skinned in the winter, but get very tan easily. I use Maui as a blush and find that it works regardless of where I am on the spectrum of fair-tan. It is one of the matte colors, and it gives a very fresh, "I just skipped here!" natural flush.

For a shimmery color, I would suggest Portofino, though it is a little pinker and less natural.

I have the same dark hair, medium skin as you (but I have green eyes). I originally bought palm beach and copacobana online. I liked both, but after a visit to a sephora store, I changed my mind before they even arrived. I ended up getting south beach (good for cheeks and as a bronzer), I got maldives (a great highlighter around the eyes and over powder blushes), and malibu (more brown than the pic on this site and really gives a flushed look to the cheeks). These products go on very sheer, yet are buildable. Don't be afraid of how dark the pictures appear in the pictures. Good luck!!

palm beach and cannes look like pretty colors for you. they are just dark enough to work with your skin tone as long as you blend and will work well with your brunette hair and hazel eyes... also, the metallic undertones of each will bring your face look together. hope this helps! try them out at the store!

the copcabana shade is good to use as a highlighter over any shade of blush you use.i would not use it as a blush itself, but definately over a powder blush.

I'm not sure, but if it dries to a powder I would have to say it is oil-free. I have not had any problem with it.

I'm not sure if the Multiple is oil free. It goes on smooth and feels like a dry powder, so I don't think that there's any oil in it.
It has no scent and it doesn't feel oily or heavy. I don't know if that helps, but I can't find the ingredient list.

Well Orgasm of course will go with your skin, plus Gisele Bundchen uses this color to make her face look healthy and flushed like she just got off the beach. And also just try any shade that is either pink or shimmery on the apples of your cheeks. As for dark colors, only use that under the apples of your cheeks to kinda sculpt them and give the illusion of high cheekbones.

Question
Does this stay on with oily skin???
I have oily skin and usually have difficulty with products staying on and causing breakout. I see that this product is most likely not oil free. Does anyone know if this product is suitable for someone with my skin type, or should I just stick to regular blush???

Good make-up starts with good skin. If your are taking care of your skin using oil-free face products when you cleanse then make-up shouldn't be a problem. I have oily skin also and I use skin products for oily skin before applying make-up. But you are better off using this product because using powdery blushes on oily skin is not a good look..trust me because it starts to look streaky after a while, so creams are better. Also try using a powder that gives you a matte look to set the blush. CornSilk and MAC make great powders. Also, this may sound cliche but it works believe me...drink lots of water...it'll make a complete difference in your skin.

I would not personally use it if i had oily skin, b/c the product itself is slick and it would prob. just make your skin look greasy. You could do a powder blush and then use one of the shades over it as a highlighter.

Best color for fair skin
I've got the Multiple in a pale pink (the name of which has been censored) and another darker color (that's really too severe for me). What color of the Multiple is the best for fair skin + red/blond hair? Thanks very much!

I have fair skin as well and I burn instead of tan. If you're like my skin tone than I found that the Mustique color is the perfect peachy color that adds a great glow and doesn't look painted on. For bronzer, I just bought Tuomanu. Hope those work for you too!

Orgasm is a pretty safe bet for just about any skin tone. I have light olive skin that might compare to your skin tone, and the peachy-pink color compliments me perfectly.

Is the South Beach (shimmering apricot) glittery or sparkly?
I am looking for a luminizer that gives a glow to highlight my cheekbones. I don't want sparkles & glitter. I have Asian fair skin & 50 years young so there's a tiny bit of fine lines under the outer corner of eyes. Is this the right product or color for me?

It is shimmery, but not super glittery! If you have fair/light skin tone (NC 20-25ish?) You can use it as coutour even with shimmer. Since the color is fairly dark

Based on the color choices, I think it's Portofino (shimmering coral). It looks too dark for Maui and too light for Orga$m... at least on my laptop. I purchased Portofino and it's fantastic!

Yes. I use all of the ones whuch I own on lips except copacabana.
Make sure your lips are moisturized prior to use, I like to top it with a lip moisturizer to prevent the chalky look. I'd highly recommend Caudalie's lip conditioner and she laq by benefit to help it last longer.

Yes it is great on the lips. I use it by itself or blended with other colors. Sometimes I use it with a little bit of lip shimmer. GREAT lipstick. You can't go wrong with this one.
