MAC - Falling In Love Again

[Knope2012]

Love Plum Dressing I need to pull it out so I use it more.

I don't use mine much either. I think this is only the second or third time I've used it. I like it with Electra on the lid sometimes.

Today, I'm wearing Malt on the lid with Twinks in the crease. This is my first time using Malt, and I like it a lot. It's only a shade or two darker than my skin color, but it's really nice.

So, I got some surprise money and thought I'd put a dent in my MAC wishlist.

Please feel free to make suggestions of colours to add or remove (especially if you think some are dupes of common shades), I'd really appreciate it.

Thank you.

Although UD's Naked palettes seem to have found their way into my neutral "go-to" pile, I have recently pulled out my neutrals MAC palette and fallen back in love with some of my old trusty staples! This past weekend, for a Pin-up look I used Naked Lunch on the lid, Saddle in the crease, Handwritten to darken my outer v and crease, Orb as my browbone highlight, with Nylon on my tearduct. Smudged a combo of the brown shades on my lower lashline as well....

I really keep forgetting how much I LOVE my MAC neutrals. I am happy that I forced myself to use them and give those darn Naked palettes a break!

Mahogany lip liner with Apres Chic lipstick... LOVE again!

AND the other day is used Fresco Rose PP lid w/ Expensive Pink on top, Star Violet crease, Sketch outer v, Motif tearduct highlight... THIS used to be a FAV combo of mine I had COMPLETELY forgotten about!

This thread sort of inspired me to pull out some of my perm stuff, so thanks for the reminder Specktra dolls!

EDIT: used Motif as tearduct highlight not browbone highlight ... this wasn't clear... oops sorry

Ah, Motif is one of those magical shades that everyone overlooks. I must be on my third or fourth one. It's a bit too dark to work as a highlight for me, but I love it as an all-over lid shade, mixed with Star Violet on the outer third and Contrast (another Mac staple) in the outer v/ crease.

Speaking of reawakening Mac love, I wore Strawberry Blonde lipglass today. Wow. That is just a killer colour. It's bright enough to show, but it's not too bold for the office or a more understated look. Every time I wear it, I seem to get told that I look nice. No one ever mentions the lip colour specifically, but I always get compliments. It does seem to connect with something in my undertones or my inherent colouring, because when I see it on myself, I find I look healthier.

One of my first lipstick purchases from MAC was Please Me and I lost it sometime last year. I recently bought a new one and man, I forgot how much I loved it. It's such a pretty rose-y pink on my lips and pretty much goes with everything. It's such a beautiful color.

Oopsie... I edited my original post... I meant I use Motif as a tearduct highlight, not browbone, sorry... it wouldn't work for me on my browbone either I don't think! LOL
It IS a beautiful shade! I use it on the lid a lot too! I will DEFINITELY try your combo! I never think to use those dark blues w Star Violet... I don't know why! It sounds GORGEOUS!!
Thanks for the suggestion!

You have me curious about SB now!!!

I've been trying to dig back into my permanent MAC stash, and I ended up loving the look I did today. I did Seedy Pearl on the lid, Plum Dressing in the crease, Brule as a highlight, Pink Cult (not perm but my fave neutral blush) as a blush, and Rebel on the lips. I'm trying to use my purples more

Even when I hardly wore makeup and had just 4 or 5 shadows, I always had Seedy Pearl.

My skin tone has changed and I can't wear it as well as I used to, but I still have it sitting around.

I love seedy pearl, though I don't know how well it would show up on someone more than few shades darker than me. It's been my go-to for years.

Went to get Print today but the MA convinced me to try Keep Your Cool. It looks very pretty and seemed to blend really well. Looking forward to trying it.

I've started to use my spitfire lippie again. How could I have ever thought about getting rid of it?

 

[lyseD]

I took my LONG list of permanent products to my MA yesterday and she said you need Craving and Cosmo for fall. Both beautiful. I'm so glad I am lucky enough to have wonderful MAC staff.

[COLOR=4B0082]I just pulled out my Mattene lipstick in Deliciously Forbidden. I know it's not that old, but I forgot how much I love mattenes. I hope MAC will come out with some new ones soon.[/COLOR]

Yes I forgot I loved "seductive intent"

this would be a great name for a collex of le repromotes.

Found Sumptuous Olive at the bottom of the drawer -- what a gorgeous colour.

It is gorgeous!!! I am wearing Sumptuous Olive because of your post. I put Grain on the brow bone and used Coquette in the crease + Brun on the outer V.

Sumptuous Olive is my favourite office green. It's a staple, like Sable.

I actually got rid of mine just because I was not wearing it often. I think because I'm acquiring new lippies at a very high rate. Seriously what is it about me and lipsticks.
