Yay you got the flower highlight! So the “deeper” shade (I think it’s called ablaze) has hardly any base pigment as well and would actually work on fair skin! I know it looks intimidating in the pan but when you put it on it blends and leaves the everrr so slightest warm glow. I’m only about 2 shades deeper than you in my skin tone and it didn’t even leave a cast of color or anything. Even drew Barrymore used it on her IG and she’s pretty fair! Just a tid bit of info. It could be good to pick up as a highlight for the summer♥️

I'm gonna play a bit more with every cream and liquid eyeshadow I own :D hope you try it too!
