MAC - Semi Precious Discussion

[Icecaramellatte]

I used the new 234 brush to apply the MES, and let me say that brush works wonders. I only used the MES dry because if I liked them when they were dry I knew they would be even better wet. I was commenting to my MA as I kept testing out different shadow combinations that I can't believe there isn't any fall out. She was impressed as well and was like yeah I can see your really packing on the color as well. The 234 brush blends and applies the MES perfectly and is really soft. I also believe that the brush helped contain some of the fall out that is common with MES. I liked the 234 brush so much I got two of them just in case something happens to one! I also reserved the 235 just because I liked the 234 so much without even testing it. I also tried the MES with the paint pot in Bare Study and that also worked well with the MES. The MES are best seen in person and swatched by yourself because I don't think the pictures do them justice. I had made a list of what I wanted the second time around and still added more on after seeing certain colors in person and testing them out for myself.
Next I played with the MSF's using the 128 brush. I really like how soft that it was and the way that it applied the MSF'S.

Hope this helps!

Did you use the natural side or the synthetic side to apply the MES?

Are you getting MSF Rose Quartz and Pink? A natural glow sounds lovely! What did you think of Goldstone and Pearl?

Yes, I will get Rose Quartz & prolly Crystal Pink/ CP was a bit more on the shimmey side, but if you buff a bit its glowy. I didn't see Goldstone & Pearl was more shimmery but very pretty,

after seeing temptalia's swatches...i want the MSF in Rose Quartz & Feeling Flush blush. I originally wanted Warmth of Coral, but it barely showed up on her & i'm NC40 so that would be a waste of money.

I put the tip of the 234 brush into the MES then kinda of swirled it around to pick up the color, tapped of the excess and used the synthetic side to pack on the color and then would use the tip again to blend it out.

I still can't decide on Warmth of Coral blush. I love coral but this sounds so peachy. I have Ripe Peach, Fun & Games, & Hipness to name a few in that color range but they are a different texture. Do I need WOC blush?

I am very pale.

Also re-thinkin FFblush and afraid this will be too bright.

I will probably get the two eye brushes, definitely the smaller one.

I have all ^those blushes too, but WoC seemed more orange toned on me. Its not orange but more on that side. Everyones own skin tone will vary the color that it is.

FF really isn't bright, but a bit pigmented. Its very cool violet pink tone. Its unique enough for me & no blush is ever too bright, you just have to lightly touch the blush with the brush.

This is a pic of me wearing Gem of Roses l/s! As I had said before, it's a very natural looking and flattering pink color. Sorry for the ugly picture, I'm in office now and I was trying to find the best lighting to capture the color as best as I can with my crappy blackberry camera. Lol.

P.S. my lip looks glossy because I put l/s over MAC's lip conditioner (the one in the tube).

I decided to do a look with Rare Find after I got over my anger with the Pro Store over Golden Gaze(I am waiting for it to come in the mail from another Pro Store, though just typing that made my anger flair). Anyway, lol, I really am liking Rare Find and I didn't think I would end up picking it up, but I did along with quite a few others, LOL. Anyway. Here is the rare find look. if you are curious about the products that I used they are in my blog(a link to it is in my signature)

 

[Piarpreet]

The ones you got swatched super well, so go for it. You deserve it!

I'm a true mineralize addict and will handpick my goodies on Thursday. No online ordering for me this time.
