MAC Heavenly creature discussion

I was one of the people that mentioned using Earthshine as an eyeshadow. Other people that were ending up with ones that were not suiting them for use on their face were using them as eyeshadows and happy with the results. I thought that was a genius idea! I got a huge burgundy swirl one from my online order and wanted to go back for one with less that would suit me better. But I was happy to know I could keep the first one to use an eyeshadow palette per say. That way I didn't feel bad about returning it or it being unused. It's always great to have options with makeup! Like the Powder to the People compact from Beth Ditto... no one could figure that one out until they realized it could be used on face AND eyes! So that made it more versatile for people.

Now, I can totally understand skipping Earthshine if it didn't suit you for the face... but for those that ended up with one... using it as an eyeshadow is a great option! And $29 dollars for 3 gorgeous eyeshadow colors is very reasonable in my opinion.

Finally got to see this collection yesterday. I was surprised at how pretty Venus l/s and Star Wonder are. Might have to go back for those. Fire Sign was nice, but I felt like it wasn't unique enough among my reds- I have a lot of reds.

Do you have any swatches on you? That was one that I was on the fence on, I was worried it would be too red on me

If you are talking about Ring of Saturn - I JUST bought it today too & it is not too red at all. Because it has the pink swirls with it - it makes it the perfect kinda pale muted strawberry

I'll try to post swatch pics on my skin.

EDIT - Oopsie - I see where you meant MA instead.

I also bought the last Astral

Holy cow is that color ever gorgeous gorgeous on.

I JUST bought Stratus today & it is beautiful! I am a pale NW15 with pink undertones. No it will not be too dark for you. It is not like EM - Stratus is a beautiful pinked plum.

Stratus is the next thing I'm going to rock from this collection... SO glad you are loving it so much! Makes me extra excited to try it! I got Restores Dazzle based on your rec and LOVE it!

Stratus





Ring of Saturn





My lighting was kinda crappy tonight. They are both so much prettier on than the pics can show.

Awesome!!! Everything looks great on you. I really wasn't sure that I would like Stratus, but the pinky plum is just beautiful. I am so glad you love RD.

OK... UGH! I did a really pretty FOTD using some of these products. BUT, I can't seem to get them to photograph the way they appear IRL. So, this is the best I could capture. I really wanted to convey how gorgeous these MSF's are! I used Earthshine as a contour with a fan brush and LY as a highlight/blush and it was just SO glowy and pretty. Made my face look very vibrant and not too shiny or shimmery!
UA on my lid blended in the crease with Texture. Mineral Mode inner tearduct highlight. VENUS (OH, how I LOVE you!) on my lips.

Here's my attempt to show how it looks... It's SO bright and sunny here it's really washing everything out. The eyes are SO much more bold and stand out IRL. Oh well...

Here are my swirls:











I was unsure of my phone camera settings and I was wondering which pic looks better? Thoughts?

'Not to mention, I've got a sneaking suspicion that Earthshine is going to be very collectible and sought after in years to come. It's gorgeous, and I know there are going to be tons of people who will run out of their supply down the road and will be eager to swap or buy gently used ones to replenish!! I also think Earthshine is not going to be one of those MSFs that gets lots of repromotes, due to that burgundy colored swirl - that's a pigment color where the raw ingredients are above average in costliness.

Basically, if ya got it, flaunt it!

Pixie- Venus is gorgeous on you! I love Venus too, like you two - I'd say it's better than Gem of Roses, and we all know how wonderful that one is.

Maybe MAC will make it a tradition to do an updated lustre along these lines for every summer Mineralize collection! Effortless chic!

Yes, that would be wonderful - I agree!

I finally feel well enough to play with my products. I'm staying in tonight but figured I'd try a few things. Just tried on Fire Sign lipstick with Meteoric CSG on top, Ring of Saturn blush with Earthshine on top as a highlighter.

It looks like the perfect sunkissed look. Now what eyes to go with it? I'm thinking the cheeks and lips are strong so go with a neutral eye, either Earthly or Aurora. Hmmm! So far so good!

I finally received all of my lovelies:
Star Wonder, Earthshine, Light Year, Water, Sky, Birght Moon, Universal Appeal and Earthly. I am so very happy with the swirls. I received Earthshine, Water, Bright Moon, Universal Appeal and Earthly from my store, prepaid, they picked the swirls. I think they did a fabulous job. All of the pics were taken outside in the sun, without flash.
