All of the lipsticks look great on you!!Here are pics of me wearing the lipsticks. In order Pink Pigeon, Party Parrot, Strong Woman and Absolute Power. I'm not wearing any lipliner underneath them and I tried to do it fast, so if the application isn't perfect that's why. Pink Pigeon and Party Parrot are brighter in real life. My camera has problems picking up bright pink shades. It also has a problem with purples, but Strong Woman is really close to how it looks in real life. When I wore SW last week I had Magenta underneath it and that made it closer to Heroine in case you don't have Heroine and wanted it.

Got my PaPa today! I can't believe I was able to get PiPi and PaPa. Of course it got up into the lower 80's today (seriously cali it's January what gives?) so it was a little sweaty. I know it'll be ok tho as I dealt with that over our never ending summer. I'm just glad I was able to haul what I have.

I normally wear lipliner, but in these pics I didn't. It also wasn't perfect, but I cleaned up the edges a bit with my fingers and for some reason my camera doesn't capture tiny mistakes that well
All I can say to get it very neat is to take your time and practice.Pinkdollface

In the netherlands Hip 'n Happy is permanent instead of JMT.

Same here. The magic of color theory. It's not a bad thing, just something to consider when buying products.

I'm not much of a lip liner person, but JMT is a necessity if you wear black lipstick and want it to look black, not purple or red (any black, not just Firm Form - but Firm Form absolutely!)

Thanks. I can get a neat application and I normally use a tissue to clean up my edges. I was just wondering if you did anything extra like use a brush in your application.I like Embrace Me and I also still want to try Lasting Sensation.

Hey Party Parrot People!!!
I'm wearing PaPa today with the usual black lined eyes I wear with it and was thinking "All I ever wear this with are black or blue winged eyes, or teal or skin-toned shadow."
Anyone have any other interesting ideas for eye looks to go with, when it's Parrot Partying Time!

Hip 'n' Happy was on my wish list of DC'd/LE stuff, but my local MAC has quite a few! I didn't try it on my lips (i tested it on my arm) because i was wearing Strong Woman today and that stains my lips a bit. But i'm sure if i go back in a week it'll still be there - maybe i should just call and have them hold one. It looks like it's close to my natural lip color, although i think my lips may be a bit bluer and bit more neutral.
And i tested (on my arm) Just My Type, which looks like a really good brown, so now it's on my list, too.

I'm not much of a lip liner person. I don't need it at all with lighter colors and most darks i can get on neatly enough. But brights - and Strong Woman is a bright for me - i often need a little liner so i don't look like a kid playing with mom's lipstick.
I haven't worn my Firm Form yet!!! I got Stone and NYX Black Berry for it, but after seeing Just My Type today, i want to pick up it, too. Y'all are turning me into a lip liner person

if anyone is still looking for these lipsticks, with the exception of strong woman. The MAC store in Bethesda Maryland had them all. I got my little sister her first MAC lipstick, absolute power!

Okay, I've probably had lippy overload from these forums - but whats the purple one on the end? Strong Woman? God, I wished it actually looked that purple IRL!COMPLETION! MUAHAHAHAHA!! (I didn't go to Florida after all, so now I have no one to keep me company but these beauties.)

I ordered Just My Type last night and I'm going to pick it up from the store on Friday. I never buy brown lip liners because they're usually warm toned and I have no use for them. JMT looks great though. I'm wondering if I should get a BU of Just Wonderful. It's a very versatile colour and I use it a lot but I find it a touch dry sometimes. Is anyone aware of a good dupe?
