T has sneak peek swatches up of everything besides the x15 palette

[dyingforyou]

Her lighting makes almost all things look off

i like her swatches most of the time but yeah these look all off.

I don't mind Carbon being crap because i wouldn't have used a black shadow even if it had been divine. I'd have been happier without a black at all, but I'm happy enough with the rest of the palette for one shade to not be a showstopper.

Allura has very heavy swatches; I would never apply shadow this way so I tend to base my decisions more on Christine and Karen's swatches. I don't mind pigmentation that Christine finds a bit lacking because I sheer out darker colours anyway; her colouring is closest to mine so I generally can kinda tell how shades might look on me.

I have Sumptuous Olive and I don't think it's a dupe for Psyche (unless the swatches are off, I think SO might be a little more yellow). No way is Expensive Pink a dupe for Artistic License (I have both). I have Deep Fixation too, but I'm sure I'll enjoy Antiqued. Honestly, I can see how most of us can dupe just about any shade out there at this point so there's no right answer. This is a good palette for those of us who like these wearable satin/veluxe pearl type finishes. I freaking adore Pepper - it looks glorious. Pretty, Cantor and Luscious will be great everyday shades too.

Can't wait to get mine on Monday!

Does anyone know when this stuff will hit Nordstrom's etc. online? (Apologies if it's been stated higher up in the thread.)

Karen's review of the pieces she has (not Gravitas) is up. http://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/mac-makeup/mac-brooke-shields/

She loves what she has, but wasn't able to get Gravitas.

Her swatches are fine, but sometimes the lighting is just too much!
It starts to make swatches look off and bright, over how they actually are.

 

[Howards End]

MAC sold out Gravitas without the aid of T or Karen's swatches. It's the Age of Instagram lol

 

[Melrose]

Ok, my order finally shows as "shipped" should be arriving Monday. Speaking of Monday, T's RHPS swatches are breaking my heart. I was eyeing the red pigment and now I'm just at a loss

I was so excited for the pigment but it just looks disappointing now. I was expecting it to be more red and sparkly

 

[Vandekamp]

The collection is gorgeous but I don't think it's WOC friendly. However, I may grab the palette for $85.00

I'm with you. I'm going to skip the palette too.

Mandy- I hear you love. If it is WOC friendly I will see when I swatch the collection in person. I will keep you two ladies posted.

Hey Melrose,

Is the RHPS a skip for you as well?

Her swatches for the matte collection have totally turned me off to the collection.

She put a ton of people off I hope karen posts swatches soon.

 

[Vandekamp]

I hope karen posts swatches soon.

Me too Dolly. Right now, T has saved me about $80. Are you on the fence too?

 

[blurpleberry]
