MAC In Extra Dimension Collection 2013 (April 2013)

[Richelle83]

I went, swatched and bought. Yes, Zestful is gorgeous and looks like a mermaids tail, I just have no clue how to use it! Def def is lighter than Superb, and Shape has this duochromeness to it. Shape is my favorite of the three.

:lol: Hmm, now I'm worried I'm not going to know what to do with mine.

It looks beautiful on you! What kind of brush did you use to apply it?

i initially wanted to use my mac 109 brush but both of them were dirty so i used my sephora flat top blush/contour brush. i show the brush in my haul video for this. if that helps lol

I went back for online seconds from this collection --sigh--. Had already picked up Opalesse, Smoky Mauve, and Triple Impact, now I got Extra Silver (I'm always looking for non-blue-pulling shadows in the gray range) and Zestful.

I also snagged In For a Treat pearlmatte from Baking Beauties while I was at it, should all be arriving in a few days.

Beautiful! What kind of brush did you use Stephy?

Well.. because it was the only clean one I had that was fluffy I used a Sigma F30. Today I used a MAC 167SH. Nice and fluffy.

FC looks gorgeous on you!

May I ask which mac foundation color are you? I'm having a hard time deciding between getting FC or AD because I'm NC17-20 and I'm worried that FC will be too pigmented for me. >.<

Thanks for your thoughts on it. I think I can skip it now. Isn't the lighter side described as being "iridescent" or something? Do you see any of that in it?

The ongoing saga...

I ran over to my nearby MAC counter at lunch. They still had everything and it was dead because there's a freezing rain storm going on here (in freaking APRIL?!) so I ended up getting an impromptu mini-makeup application.

I bought Opalesse, because I'm a sucker for EDES and there is absolutely nothing even close to this colour in my collection. It's a chameleon colour like Zestful. Had to have it. I really don't have room for another large shadow but I knew I'd have buyer's remorse over this.

I explained about not loving Shape the Future and the MUA (who essentially redid my makeup using the shades we were discussing) suggested that I just use the light shade (not nearly as metallic as the lighter Def Def highlighter); she agreed that the darker shade was pulling very burnt orange on me. It can be made to work that way, but I have more flattering options in my stash already. The darker colour actually looks nice as an eyeshadow, although I think I remember reading that the EDSF aren't eye safe (which I hope means not eye-tested as opposed to known to cause irritation in the eye area). I'm wearing Blazing Haute with the lighter STF colour as a highlight and love it. I'm resisting buying BH because I have Fresh Honey and they're close enough.

Officially done with this collection and waiting for Temperature Rising!

I am wearing MatchMaster 1.0 but I have been matched at NC15 (20 when its summer) recently. BUT... I have more of a neutral tone so when I get matched they switch between NC and NW.

Thank you for answering me! Did you have to put multiple layers on to achieve that color?

Oh yay. A few layers. But I ted to overdo it with the blush so the extra layers are something I always do.

Uh oh, I think I need triple impact too.

Popped into Dillard's this morning and once I saw them in person, was able to whittle my list down a little. I walked out with Blazing Haute, Bareness and Shape the Future as well as a 128 Brush. The split fiber brush is just perfect for the somewhat creamy texture of the blush, so quite happy with it. I'm wearing the Blazing Haute with Shape the Future and both are gorgeous. After seeing how beautiful the Zestful is over black, I need to return for the Zestful and a dark paintpot.

The aura micas work best over deep bases. I done't even have to be black which is why they look stellar on deeper skin tones.

Ooh, nice! Thank you for the info. The extra layers makes you glow

yea im really not feeling at dusk. im going to have to sell that puppy. flaming chic im keeping though. i went into the mall today to exchange something so i dropped by mac to check these out and blah. lol maybe these collection just isnt for me

 

[janineios]

I've never used EDES wet. For those of you who have, do you just spray your brush with Fix+ and then touch it to the pan? I thought that would ruin the ES.

Nice over black base.
