MAC x Mickey Contractor discussion

Okay, duh question of the day. Everyone seems to be saying Mehr is similar to Brave. Brave looks slightly warm to my eyes, a hint of peach to it, or a yellow (warm) based rosy pink that is MLBB for me. My monitor shows all these swatches of Mehr to look more like a cool toned rosy brown (blue toned just slightly). So which is it? Cuz if its a cool toned rosy brown, I may "need it." But only if its more brown than pink. I definitely don't need more blue based pinks, even if they are rosy and slightly brown. That, I can dupe.

And how matte is it, anyone who was lucky enough to actually get one?

Inquiring minds need to know!

 

[peachsuns]

yay! i'm pleased yu managed to get the fluidlines! to me they are the stand outs of the collection

Thank you, Lou! I agree they're incredible!

Does anyone own Brave and Mehr and can compare these 2 lipsticks?
Are they maybe close?

TIA!

Alright, so I realized that I actually own Brave New Bronze, and not Brave! :S Although, BNB was listed as a dupe for Mehr by Temptalia. Here's a pic comparing the two:



Mehr on the left, Brave New Bronze on the right

Sorry it's not the lipstick i thought it was, but hopefully it's still helpful to you, as you can see what Mehr looks like on pale skin!

 

[elegant-one]

Nope - that is seriously not a dupe

Still liking the looks of Mehr. Uggh, I cannot believe I have to wait until Tuesday..blech

I'm pretty sure Brave New Bronze is supposed to be a dupe for Yash, not Mehr. Brave is supposed to be a dupe for Mehr.

Did anyone get Flesh lipglass? I have an order being shipped but I'm worried I made a mistake. I thought it'd be a nice nude gloss but I hope it doesn't look like concealer

Erm this may or may not be helpful, but here goes.

I was looking through my makeup today [as ya do] and came across my Rimmel - Asia lipstick, I think it could be a possible dupe for Mehr!
However its slightly creamier in texture. Its a shame my aunt doesn't live nearby [as you all know me and Mehr just couldnt blend, so I gave it to her]. I need to swatch them both side by side to confirm, but when I was looking at it, I was like hang on this looks familiar!

^ lol - Temptalia did post the swatches side by side, but I think she did that because she didn't have Brave and wanted to show that BNB was NOT a dupe. *sighs*, oh well, I tried, and I was right about them being really different!

 

[p3chiu]

It's Brave lipstick (satin) that's the dupe. It was in the comments section, but yeah, Temptalia did not own this. She only had Cosmo.

I swatched Brave in the store and it indeed looked similar to Mehr. It depends on your taste, but i like Brave because its Satin. Not too crazy about matte finishes - I find them too drying.

I bet Blue Brown would be pretty over Siahi. Obviously, I had the pigments out today playing trying to come up with new ideas and that popped in my head. Alot of other combo's to using Siagi and Ivy.

Blue Brown is one of my FAVOURITES - why didn't I think of this?!?! I am totally trying this tomorrow

Thanks for the idea!!!

[/quote] What an awesome idea! I love Blue Brown! I bet Deep Blue Green would be awesome, as well. That's my favorite pigment ever.

I have to go to my MAC counter tomorrow. I'll try to swatch Brave on my arm and then swatch my Mehr next to it when I get home.

 

[katred]

My package is supposed to be here tomorrow, so as long as there's no problem receiving it, I can take a photo of them both together. I've had Brave a long time, but I rarely use it. I'm hoping Mehr will be a little more on the rosy/ pink side. Brave does have a slightly pearly sheen that's quite nice, though.

 

[luvlydee]

am i going crazy or did mac remove the foundations from this collection?? when it first came out it said coming soon but now it not even listed at all!

 

[laylalovesmac]

Nope - that is seriously not a dupe

My thoughts exactly.

 

[peek_a_b0o]

I was looking forward to NC43 SFF but I was told by MACCHAT that it was a mistake in marketing, its only going to be released internationally :/

 

[MACina]

Thank you all for your help

I am still unsure wether I should get Mehr or not....I love Brave very much and Mehr looks so pretty too!!!
Hard decision.....

Oh that's great because it's very overcast and about to snow here - any pics I could take would be worthless.
