MAC Magnetic Nude Collection (December 26, 2013)

[GlamQueen21]

I just cut my list down to 5 items and will only be getting Pleasure Model ED Blush, Autoerotique ED Blush, Magnetic Appeal EDSF, Fairly Precious EDSF and Morning Rose lipstick. I might get the EDES later.

If the left blush is At Dusk, it looks like the color is off a bit! The right EDSF must be FP! Miiiine! Thank you, Naynadine! :heart2:

Yuppers!!!

Would close contact and sensual sparks work well on NC43 skintones? I want them, but the promo pictures and description make me want them, but the actual swatches I've seen online seem lighter than I was expecting, and I don't want to look like Tyrone Biggums from the Chappelle show

Those would work on your skintone, depending on your liptone that is.

I am an nw45. What items in this collection as far as the lipglasses, fluidline, blushes and EDSFs would work on my complexion? Are the lipglasses opaque or sheer? How do I apply a fluidline? Sorry for the questions. I'm trying to figure out what iitems would work on me so I can at least make a preliminary decision. Help me please lol.

HB and Overspiced lipglass, probably none of the fluidline if you're wanting to use them as liner, but if you're wanting to use them as a base, then both browns would work, PM blush and MA skinfinish. Lipglasses are an opaque formula. And fluidline is applied with either an angled, squared or pointed brush. It's all personal preference really. Whichever you're most comfortable with.

hmm so no pleasure model huh???

With a veeeeeeeery light hand if you do.

What about the EDSF in Superb? I heard that is good too. I never used a EDSF before.

I'm not a fan of it on an NW45. But that's just me :dunno:

I have MAC Riri Fall CCB in Diamonds .Are they the same shade or different?

I agree. Although I love the shade and I feel like it can work with careful application, I recognize how pale it is. I like a warmer highlighter on myself. I'm considering skipping but I still want it lol!

 

[Debbs]

Wholeheartedly agree with Erine re Superb. I really didn't see any flattering impact on me so I ended up selling both my Superb and WoG. I prefer Glorify, Double Definition and Shape The Future on me. I know it didn't work then and it won't work now but it just tempting as Misfitted commented. Luckily I am on Pixie's thread so I know that the urge can be controlled

 

[janette9687]

Since at dusk is a subtle pink would it show up on nc35 skin tones ?

Im an NC 40 and it shows up on me, i do have to apply about 2-3 layers tho

I placed my order on the 23rd last year so I'd definitely check the website a few days before.

So of course I had to go back in my email history to see when I placed my order for last year's 12/26 collections. It was 12:30 AM on 12/24, so that means it released late the night of the 23rd (at least for PROs). My order shipped on 12/26. Now that I'm thinking about it though, I remember it taking longer than usual for my package to get to me. Pretty sure I didn't actually receive it until the first or second week of January. Ugh, this is making me want to just go to the store the morning it releases so I can have them sooner!

 

[janette9687]

been debating skipping this collection as a whole but i do love the edsf formula for both the blushes and SF

list so far is both new blushes and one edsf debating any e/s trying to be good and destash

I have MAC Riri Fall CCB in Diamonds .Are they the same shade or different?

Not having seen Diamonds in person, i can tell you CCBs and EDSFs are two completely different animals. The shimmery CCBs are shimmery creams, which are sheerer in nature, making it more wearable on different skintones, and the EDSF are intense metallic powders, which, tho they can be sheered out, can also easily be applied more opaqued, if not careful. While Superb could work on deeper skintones with a light hand, it can easily come off too light. As the others said, a deeper and warmer tone is easier to work with and much more flattering on deeper skintones without having to manipulate and force it to work. You shouldn't have to make makeup work for you. But if you're loving swatches on deeper skintones, by all means, give it a go! I wouldn't want you to miss out on something that you really want.

I agree. Although I love the shade and I feel like it can work with careful application, I recognize how pale it is. I like a warmer highlighter on myself. I'm considering skipping but I still want it lol!

@erine1881 gotcha! Ty. I still haven't seen this collection... Going w what my fellow specktrans that have seen it say....

 

[Debbs]

I don't want it , Erine! That's what I am saying , it didn't work for me then and I wasn't tweaking it to suit me so Superb is a skip for me.

Oh i know hun. That was for [@]ladyd12[/@]. I was just quoting you and [@]misfitted[/@] about why you were agreeing with me about Superb. :wink:

It definitely comes off as ashy on NW45...

I might just get sensual sparks and overspiced and call it a day since most of what I want is coming from the PC collection

 

[PolaBerry]

I preordered Close Contact and Oh my darling lip glass mainly because of the IG post but im wondering if there is already a mac lipstick dupe for close contact?

 

[Slimmycakes]

I just cut my list down to 5 items and will only be getting Pleasure Model ED Blush, Autoerotique ED Blush, Magnetic Appeal EDSF, Fairly Precious EDSF and Morning Rose lipstick. I might get the EDES later.

Funny enough thats my exact list. Maybe one of the nude lipsticks, maybeeee

Look at my girl!! Knowing what works for her and what doesn't... and resisting! THAT'S the spirit! I cut my original list for this down to only 4 items! And I am still seriously considering skipping the lipstick on my list since I already have that shade covered in my current stash! Looks like we're getting an early jump on our 2014 resolution! xoxo

Definitely agree with @erine1881, @Debbs, and @misfitted about Superb on NW45 skin. I wanted to love it, but it just looked very strange and unnatural so I ended up returning it.

I don't know how to feel about this collection. Not really a nude person, and I kind of wrote off the ED finish in general, but Magnetic Appeal is so gorgeous *_* And if it really is less shimmery than before, I might have to bite!

Really hoping I can stay strong and keep away from Carnal Instincts, Morning Rose, Steel Kiss, and Hellbound. The fact that they look different in every pic has me intrigued still, so I'm thinking I need to see them in person so I can swatch and lose interest LOL. I really need to get my butt in the "low-buy" thread. -nods-
