SN's been on my wishlist forEVER, but I've just been far too nervous to buy anything because of my darker skin tone.
I'm a MAC NC 44, usually. And my lips are naturally tinted.
I was wondering if Mango, Honeysuckle, Icing and Ambrosia would show up on me..
I was also wondering about the cream blush in Devoted.

Welcome to our forum!
Devoted is probably better for lighter skintones. It is buildable color, but you don't have near the control you do with loose blush and a dual fiber brush. Also the Icing will be more like a shimmery wash on your lips. The others....Ambrosia is sheer, but still very pretty, and Mango and Honeysuckle are definitely pigmented enough to show up.

I have all 4 and Honeysuckle and Mango would be where my money's at.
However, if your natural lips are slightly darker or more tinted than Jennifae's natural lip colour, I think Mango might show up darker and just slightly browner than on Jennifae's swatch. That's what happened to Mango on my lips. Much prefer Honeysuckle.
