It can for sure. Obviously it depends on your skin tone. Probably would work best on light to medium skin. But it's a very neutral tawny color.
I have been using got to contour and I love it! Works far better than the matte bronzer that I had been using, but I have very fair skin.
 
Loving this month's box, from the presentation to what was inside!  Cannot wait to play with it.

I was holding my breath as I was opening it, hoping it wasn't the eye kaleidoscope I just got as a GWP.  So happy to see it's something brand spanking new.

I'm just madly in love with every single color. I could not be more pleased with this month. The colors are perfect.

Same here! If anyone wants to trade any of their LMdB items (except for the cream shadow), please let me know.

I can't say definitively until I get mine in the mail but I may be up for trading.  Most blushes don't work for me because I have too much pink/red undertones.  I have no idea what I'd want to trade for but it seems a shame to let such a beautiful set just sit in my makeup drawer when someone could be enjoying it.

Oh the great cream shadow...Maybe that's why Saks isn't carrying LMdB any more since that was one of their exclusive items.

Hah, I kid! I'm sure someone somewhere loves the cream shadow.  It was an interesting concept, I'll give them that.  Those shadows just hate me.

Anyway, I got my gift and it really is more lovely than I anticipated especially layering the colors with the tawny part used on the underside and the highlighter on the upper area.  The only thing is I feel like a fair bit of powder came loose when I used the brush so much so that I was worried it was using too much/going to make a mess of the whole thing.  It sparked a memory of a brief visit to the counter to swatch lip creams where an entire blush part of one of the kaleidoscope pans broke into pieces and fell out when I was examining it.  I stuffed it and shards of blush back in before the woman that the counter came back.  I don't remember doing anything to cause it, just the horror of cramming it back in in the already uncomfortable $$$$ makeup counter fear zone.  I just hope these aren't so finely milled that they are as fragile.   I also can't believe I never noticed before that the kaleidoscopes all have mirrors on top of them.

Keep us posted! I do have some Bobbi Brown and Smashbox products coming my way.

Actually it may work for you. The 2nd color especially. The 1st one too. (they are more vibrant in person than the photo's)

The only one that may not work is the tawny blush/bronzer.

Let us know what you think when you pick up your box!

And you can always use any of them for shadows if they don't work as blushers.

I can see the tawny one being a great nude base for the lid. And the highlighter a good under brow highlighter.

I sent some items in PM.  I also can trade a Pretty in Punk kaleidoscope for someone that would like to do so.

Thanks for the tips! I cant a wait to get my box.

 
What are people's thoughts now that they've had a few days to play with the face kaleidoscope?  I've been layering the first 3 colors over each other and using the highlighter on the tops of my cheeks, bridge of nose, and temples.  The colors work well for my complexion, but they do seem better suited for those who are fair to medium complected.

The colors look GREAT on you...really fresh faced!

Believe it or not, I haven't played with mine yet.

(except for hand swatches)

But I will try layering the first 3 colors like you did!

Love it!

 
I've been wearing it everyday since I got it Monday I believe it was. I've mainly been using the top pink color and contouring with the tawny-ish color and then using the highlighter. I really love it. I can't tell if it will work on darker skin, but I'm thinking with enough layered the top pink should still work on most medium skin tones and possibly darker.

Looks great on you! I left the box wrapped up on my mum's desk because I knew I wouldn't be using anything in this kaleidoscope as I actually don't use blush/highlighters/bronzer. This was on Wednesday (it got delivered a day early!) right before I went out to a show for the night, but she hasn't said anything about it at all lol.

 
For anyone who hasn't seen the facebook post:

"We are working on big plans with Nordstrom for our business. Matt, we did decide to exit Saks after we were unable to build the same client experience inside their stores that we have built in our other retail partners doors. This decision will allow us to focus more energy on Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and Bloomingdales - as well as our independent retail partners. XO LMdB."

Too bad I missed the big sale, my holiday budget didn't include those treats. The Saks near me didn't carry LMdB anyway so no big loss, although my Norstrom doesn't either. Thankful for internet swatchers, keep up the good work!

Also, I got the cheek kaleidoscope in the first box, but was sooo jealous of the face kaleidoscope. I don't consider this month a repeat at all! The highlighter is very natural, the bronzer doesn't turn red on me, and the blushes look a lot less neon on me than the pinks in the cheek kaleidoscope. Still loving the more golden shades in the cheek set and having fun playing with all of them together.

So glad to hear the colors of the two cheek kaleidoscopes are different enough!

I think these colors are a bit more universal than the other ones?

I have the face kaleidoscope and I think I prefer the cheek one actually.

That goes under the category of "highly annoying".
