MAC - Semi Precious Discussion

stunning

I am doing some Harry Potter inspired everyday looks for my blog. For two of the three that I have uploaded I used products from this collection.

For Ravenclaw I have HOS and BS on the lid with Bronze in the Crease...





For Gryffindor I used Golden Gaze on the lid with Smoked Ruby in the crease...

 

[rockin]

Any suggestions how to bring out the gold more in my Golden Gaze? It has an awful lot of black in it, and looks smokey more than gold, which is not what I'd hoped for.

I REALLY wish smoked ruby was burgandy or dark red & not fugly brown. It looks so pretty in the pan. :-(

Is it possible to find a red vein and use brush #219 to get more red? That is what I did and it worked. I am finding the #219 works really well for segregating these shadows

Yup, addict is not the word. I know own pearl and faux gold - so that's all MSFs, one blush, one lipstick and all MES bar two :shock: I am still to try out Golden Gaze, Smoked Ruby and Jade's fortune so looks to come soon using those

My Gem of Roses has just arrived. I ordered it because everyone said how gorgeous it was. It is pretty, but I'm still not bowled over.

I've got it now anyway, and I know if I hadn't, it would've annoyed me.

On another note, I'm wearing Quartz Fusion today on top of Too Faced Glitter Glue and I've hardly had any fallout. It's so glittery, looks great in the sun!

Probably ebay... It's a burgundy wine-red p/p, a very unique color for a p/p.

Do you have Amarcord? I think it creases quite fast. I don't think it's a dupe of Artifact p/p at all (but that's just me).

 

[Mac-Guy]

My Crystal Pink: Lots of Pink, lots of bronze, and very little green - just how I like it.

Google it but then click on "shopping" rather than "web" and you will get quite a few results. Happy shopping.

Did you "piggie-cize" the broken one?

 

[LMD84]

Fingers crossed!

if this one arrives broken i will be a touch upset!

 

[elegant-one]

I use the CCB Root & a Dusty blue one (can't think of the name right now) but I mostly do just smokey eyes I love them as a base especially for the MES

 

[Teggy]

Hrm...I'm loving Clarity less and less as I see it. I think I'll exchange it, but I don't know if I want the green or the blue shadow instead. I have to remember to bring pixie epoxy with me to swatch them and see. I just worry about them selling out.

 

[Allura Beauty]

Only to take a smaller brush and pick up just the gold parts. Putting down a gold base won't help too much if you swirl the colors together because the black will overtake the gold. Or try to exchange it for one with different veining.

Any suggestions how to bring out the gold more in my Golden Gaze? It has an awful lot of black in it, and looks smokey more than gold, which is not what I'd hoped for.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the community....I've been pretty satisfied with the collection. Although I do have a question. Has anyone picked up Feeling Flush? How would it look on a copper toned NC50 ish person? Just curious. Btw..I love semi precious pearl as a highlight. The only thing I'm not too keen on is the fact that my 128 is separating

 

[mousygiggles]

Is this Pearl or Goldstone? It looks nearly exactly like my Pearl!

I got the most beautiful Faux Gold ever. I couldn't have picked a better one myself. It has a thick coral veining and two blobs or burgundy. On the the other hand, my 4th BU of Goldstone has little-to-no burgundy in the nipple, but it will be o.k. given that I probably have enough GS to bronze a small village. I'm still glad I got it though as my f/s had sold the last one this weekend.
