MAC Lightness Of Being Collection (Dec 26, 2014)

[ladyfabolous231]

This collection was a big disappointment for me. I love their mineralize blusehes but these were just too glittery for me.

I should have listened! Got please yourself in the mail yesterday. Wayyyy to glittery and I love glitter and shimmer. I'm trying to justify keeping it. But this is just a little over the top. Maybe I can return it and start on my second blush palette. Decisions. Decisions.....

I love the blushes, there are so different in the finish from all i knew from mac. There are very shimmery auf little bit glittery, but i have so many satin and matt blushes so these are really special

I'm still loving Touch the Earth Mineralize Lipstick.

I did a stronger eye today, and TtE works great with it. I did put some stuff on my cheeks, which i often skip... Anna Sui Loose Powder #200 (lilac with a bit of shimmer - i love the scent), then a little contouring with Next to Skin, and a little blushing on the cheek bone with some pink eyeshadow i had handy.

A second blush palette sounds like a great idea!

Was excited about the green gloss, but when I saw how sheer it is I was like nah.

Wow! I love how pink your original one is.

this whole collection was disappointing to me. Really wanted perfect topping, and after swatching it finally it was pointless.

I seem to alternate days wearing dark dark purple Gunner Matte Lipstick from "Nasty Gal" and wearing Touch the Earth Mineralize Lipstick from this collection.

And i am wearing the three eye shadows i got every day - Natural Vigor (champagne peach), Spiritual Life (lemon), and Just Breathe (light slightly warm blue) - altho not all at the same time.

I use other dark matte shadows in the crease and light matte shadows under the brow from the 2 Too Faced palettes i got. I'm tired of shiny under brow shadows, time for me to move on and experiment with other things.

Impressed with the Perfect Topping from this collection. Was wearing this over the week as highlighter and 2 colleagues on different days asked if I did something different to my skin as they felt that my face was "glowing". Pleased...

Awesome. I love them especially the original.

I sort of have been lately, too. I sometimes don't highlight there at all anymore. With some of my darker smokey eyes, I often just take my transition shade right up to my brow. Sometimes I highlight above my brow instead.

THANK YOU!!! Professional makeups artists don't highlight under the brow anymore either. It's so dated! And it's not just shiny either, even using a matte colour that's lighter than one's skintone isn't done anymore. Just match the skintone with a matte colour or use nothing at all! Save the highlighting for the inner corner of the eye and for the cheekbones of the faces.
