The concealer palette will be most useful for those who do a lot of MU on other, i.e. working on a lot of different complexions. For individuals who want to correct, I'd rather recommend the Studio skin correctors as you probably won't need more than one or two shades.

If you have a Mac (pun intended!), hit the Apple button and +, which allows you to enlarge the screen. Not sure how it works on a PC. Happy reading.

On a PC, it's the Ctrl button and +

Then the Ctrl button and 0 to take it back to normal

Thank you both! Liba was nice enough to send the links & they were enlarged. Yay! I didn't go blind. Has anyone else noticed that the A/W 2012 charts don't seem to have too many new products for the A/W yet? I've only noticed a handful if even. I'm hoping we will start to see more face charts with the newer products/colors soon.

I am excited about the new prolongwear eyeshadows and the creamy contour colours as well as the concealer palette. I am not a MA, but I feel like I will need it. Mac-Guy, spring trend palette - worth hunting for? I may pop by pro to see if they still have it! Or do you find that some of the shades are dupe-able from the recent collex?

Do you hate that new style of photobucket display (or whatever it is) as much as I do??? Enlarging the screen doesn't do much because it always defaults to these downscaled pictures and most blogs don't bother to add a link to the full sized image, even though you can set up the template to do that.

Grrr, it's one of the most annoying website developments over the past year or so.

OK, Rant Off now :p

Also, since all these Fall/Winter products are trickling out now, what's getting you most excited?
For me it's the general color shift to shades that are using an ochre base or using ochre to deepen and enrich the color. This might not be super flattering for the pale NW people, unfortunately, but my NC face is thrilled by this development. Ochre is such a fantastic undertone for makeup, since it creates complex and earthy shades without dulling the color as much as grey or a straight brown or green might. You get a great, luminous quality to the color which works with skin so well.

I'm a blogger and my pictures are not clickable because my posts and photos have been stolen before and that is my way of protecting my own work. Just saying...

You set your blog up correctly for that and rightfully so. I'm talking about that template that allows that "theater view" or whatever that's called officially - where you get a black background that comes up with thumbnails on the bottom and larger, but not full sized version above, which you then have to hit ESC to exit out of.

The sucky thing is, if people want to steal your images by finding the direct links to them, there's still a way to do it. I just tested it out on your site.

It's a little involved for random people, though and you have everything carefully watermarked, so nothing really to worry about. I really have no idea if blogspot has any truly effective ways of locking down a person's images, which is pretty crappy, sad to say.

Yeah, I know, but at least you have to try and figure it out and there's also the watermark (which takes me so long to do unfortunately). I have only had two occasions of content theft (one by the infamous allglam that's been shut down since), but you never know.

I use Firefox and I don't have that issue - at least not yet.


As for the Fall colors: I think NW complexions can rock ochre. Warm to Bare from the Spring Trend Palette is also ochre-based and it's a great color, though it takes some courage to pull it off. But once you get used to this new look, it looks very beautiful. In fact, I welcome this expansion to my neutral palette. I can always tone it down if I have to do so. Customizing a color can be fun and I can create a fashion shade that is right for me. The Fall ochres seem to be more muted anyway, so they will be easier to pull off. It only gets critical if there is too much yellow.

I`m hoping they will offer 2 shades somehow packed together for a skin type (conceal & correct). if they don`t I will look somewhere else, I need a light corrector to conceal purple-green, can it do both? a concealer nw 20 it`s too dark for me in the winter, nw 15 works, nc 15 too light

The concealer palette will be most useful for those who do a lot of MU on other, i.e. working on a lot of different complexions. For individuals who want to correct, I'd rather recommend the Studio skin correctors as you probably won't need more than one or two shades.

Interesting and good news! I am welcoming this shift. I think that if I have issues with some colours, it's the often gray in them - like the Daphne e/s.

I was referring to the Pro Palette. As I stated above, if you only use it on yourself, one or two shades are enough rather than six. The idea of a palette is so that MUA or theatre professionals have a wider ranger of colors to cater for a variety of complexions. For NW20, I'd use Gilded Ash and Light Peach and insert the refills in a duo palette.

However, I like your idea of having duos. Maybe they will release duos at some point.

you want to use NW products to conceal because of the orange base color. that will cancel out the greenish blue color dont use NC. you might need to mix colors to create the shade that is best also remember you use your foundation first before you conceal. your foundation covers it just doesnt cover everything you will make better choices in color and the amount of products and the type of product you use

Oh snap! I've been doing this wrong for years then. Good grief! Time to change it around. Thankfully, I don't use foundation & concealer too often. I find it bothers my skin or when it's hot out I just sweat it off anyhow so I don't even bother in the warmer temps.

I saw this listing on ebay a while ago, the colors caught my eye. I assumed it was fake cause they have 10 & they have a bunch of other fake mac. anyhow it looks a lot like the MES in that pic so I thought I'd share...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MAC-BAKED-EYESHADOW-MOLTEN-UNBOXED-/320742776713?pt=US_Makeup_Eyes&hash=item4aadc25f89
they have some other interesting swatched unboxed mineralize items as well if you peek through their listings
I had a look at all the mac that this person is selling and they all seem FAKES.

BEWARE!
