T is a one trick pony when it comes to make up application. I give her credit for bold lip swatches. Often, she does pull them off beautifully. Her lips are made for those swatches. But anything that require a different way of applying, her skills just go down the drain. This becomes apparent in any products that require a light application. She piles it on. I actually had to laugh hard when I read that the powder of the MSF was sitting on her skin. Daaaaarling, it's called B-L-E-N-D-I-N-G.

While she usually excels at lip swatches, her skills are the worst when it comes to blush swatches (errrrgh blending????) and eye shadows. She only ever ever ever every knows one way how to use a quad. It almost looks like a stencil that she puts on her lid to apply the colors of a quad. Blending non existent. Monsy's example is just the living proof of it.

A lot has to do with her knowledge, or lack thereof, of using different brushes for different products. A stiffer blush like Sunset Beach requires a firm brush, otherwise the color pay-off is limited. A powdery MSF requires a very soft brush, otherwise it will be powder dust city. Using the wrong tools will make or break a product. Funny thing is that she has all those brushes, but she seems to only use one or a few at most. Sad, but true.

In the end, everybody has to make their own decisions. As always, it's best to swatch everything in person and/or find a skin twin and share information in the thread or via PM.

Yep!!

 

[MandyVanHook]

Then buy lol

But...

I'm gritting my teeth on whether or not Strip Poker and Riot House will look good on my NC42/44 skin. I reeeeeeally want to believe I can pull it off.

Did anyone notice that on T's reviews/official info it says the blushes are $22 not $29 which is more realistic tbh! If its $22 I am for sure getting Kelly's blush! So I am a little worried about DG being too cool toned for my NC20 skin. [@]erine1881[/@] skin twin help! Lol!

Speaking of soft brushes, what would you recommend for blushes? I have a small travel sized one from the Tartan MAC collection I think is the name, but would like a full sized one. Brand doesn't matter! Thanks

Isn't that the way it goes!

 

[Dolly Snow]

But... lol

Lol close your eyes! Imagine the box arriving and you open it! What lipsticks are in there? It works watch lol

 

[awickedshape]

right when I was correcting my post of course haha

Oh gosh

 

[MissLiLaC]

How can they have just not decided, that's a 2 month difference! It's not like they're debating which week or something, its 2 bloody months. I've given up asking them release dates because they never tell you the right date, they all say something different. Maybe we'll know more once it's released in the US. I feel like I'm losing it too over this collection, if I miss out on those damn lipsticks I will seriously cry like a little baby throwing a tantrum!

i know, i'm sick of asking mac chat!

DG DG DG DG DG DG DG DG DG DG DG DG... I could go on... :wave:

:werd: mac UK get your act together!!! DG swatches oh my goodness :eyelove::eyelove: seriously :doomed: Ahh so pussywillow is the gold lipglass not bijou! It's a gorgeous gloss hmmm.. Yeah it's staying on the list I think :bigstar:

 

[MandyVanHook]

@macnc50diva Can I ask what you are using on your face in your avi? You look so luminous!

 

[Dolly Snow]

right when I was correcting my post of course haha[/quote]Lol same thing happened to me! I didn't find it amusing at the time :haha:

 

[Naynadine]

Not trying to be snarky

, and I'm not a fan of T either, but I feel like we have the same discussion with every collection that's released. While it's completely understandable to talk about the lighting, skintone, application etc when it comes to swatches, as well as disagreeing with someone's rating/reviews, I feel like it can get to a point where it's just bashing someone.

 

[Monsy]

So I am a little worried about DG being too cool toned for my NC20 skin. @erine1881 skin twin help! Lol!

I was wondering the same thing about blush prices

and I found my skin twin @erine1881

Lol close your eyes! Imagine the box arriving and you open it! What lipsticks are in there? It works watch lol

I need to go do some serious meditation.

Very true!

I'm so happy for the swatches today, really going to help me narrow down my list. As much as I love the look of Riot House and Dodgy Girl I know they won't look flattering on me. KYY it is! I already have CYY but I want it for the pretty packaging, but at least I know I'll use it and it wont just sit in my drawer.
