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.
This is a picture of me. = /

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.
