MAC - Falling In Love Again

[liba]

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

MAC was THE neutrals makeup expert line for so many years - they built their whole reputation on perfect neutrals for all skin tones! There's good reason those classic perm shadows work so well.

Agree! That's why I make consistent effort building my perm eyeshadow and lipstick collection every month amidst all the LE collections. Just so sad they discontinued the old palette and replaced it with the new see thru one. I want all my palettes to be the same.

Ooh those are all in my wishlist! This nov since there's just one collection coming out I'm getting Amber Lights and more pigments (blonde's gold and true chartreuse among others).

You could get away with these type of (neutral) colors (saddle&bamboo)without the CSM calling you out.

I have nothing on my list for November so lots of permanent products for me.

girl, yes lol. Its a neutral eye lol and its not against regulation to wear make up as long as it looks natural and compliments the uniform. What e/s do you wear to work?

I have all the e/s under the "bestsellers" tab (all that glitters, shroom, brule, naked lunch, ricepaper, satin taupe, carbon etc). I thought that was a good reference to start and it was.

I never thought of checking that list. I hope I have most of them.

Looks like I need Retrospeck, Nylon and Espresso

Should I dare check the lipstick list?

I have been using Whisper of Guilt a lot lately. It isn't that old, but it was being neglected.

With all the collection MAC puts out it's easy to neglect things that just came out! I've actually been reading on Spektra and realized I had bought something and completely forgot about it.

Love Rebel! It's one of my fave perms (not that I have many of them).

So sad they're discontinuing Till Tomorrow Pro longwear lipcreme. It's my perfect mlbb color. I've bought a BU already.

Retried Rocker today, now its a gorgeous Fall red! I think next time I need Prep and Prime with it though.

Picked up Retrospeck. Not sure if I need Espresso, I have a lot of dark browns.
