would you say that camel coat is more of a taupeish colour? i want a paint pot that's straight up grey !
Yes, I thing Camel Coat is a really cool toned greyish brown, a taupe, but -on me at least- it is not grey, it is definetly a taupe brown.

I'm disappointed with CC as well...I was thinking camel not taupe.

Im really disappointed in camel coat. I thought it was gonna be a version of soft ochre for dark skin Hmmm, I don't like that at all - it does look like cement on the lids

I'm not sure however, that the shade is color correct in those pics. It looks much more slight caramel beige in the other pics I've seen.
Woah! Camel Coat is ummm, hmmm. Yeah Elegant, cement is about right!

I'll even be happy if Camel Coat looks anywhere similar on me the way it does on Beautezine. Just please, no ashy cement!!!
Lmaooo @ ashy cement. Thats how it looks like! But it so off because in the pot it looks different when swatched! But idk because all these swatches we've seen on very light skin.

Is it Constructivist? I love how her eyes look in the promo big time.

Is it just me - why does it seem like some of the swatches are not looking like the same shade that is in the pot ???
It kind of looks like Artifact and Constructivist on her lids and crease. Whatever it is, it's very pretty.

I have both, so I should see if I can recreate it. I haven't used them in a while so I hope they aren't dried out.

Mac should always list exactly what is used in the promo

I kinda like that look. I want one in a slightly grayish neutral so colorwise it looks pretty good to me in those pics. But the finish... I don't know. On young lids that flat matte texture might work, on maturing skin I think this could be unflattering. A little sheen in it would have been nice.

The more swatches I see of all the shades, the more confused I am, because they look different in pretty much every swatch I've seen so far. I feel like it's a bit of a gamble to order these online, cause I have no idea how they will pull on my skintone.

I ordered Camel Coat. If they're still available when I can get them I might consider a few others. Got my eye on Tailor Grey, Layin Low and Clearwater.
Copperhead can you or luvlydee swatch Camel Coat next to Groundwork? (And Layin Low if you have it.) I'm curious about how these shades compare on darker skin.

Layin Low looks the way I imagined Camel Coat would. CC has no warmth.

Unfortunately I don't have Groundwork to make the comparison. I'm also now thinking I probably should've gotten Layin Low. If I don't like CC, I'll likely go for Layin Low. Even if I like CC I'll probably still get Layin Low.

I love this color! If there's a paint pot that can give me this look, I want it! I was hoping for Taylor gray to be like this or slightly darker (or a purple gray)

That's okay. Still looking forward to your swatch.
