MAC Pencilled In Collection (Feb 5, 2015)

[Mayanas]

ETE and NV are a good match

 

[elegant-one]

I swatched them today & I really liked Chic Trick, Rosy Rim, Talking Points & kind of Fruit Cocktail. Nightingale was missing. I already bought Edge to Edge

 

[smileyt06]

Going to go back to get fruit cocktail and nightingale

 

[liba]

Did you get anything from this one? I'm leaning towards Fruit Cocktail, Cyber World and possibly Nightingale which looks promising in some of the pictures here.

I got Fruit Cocktail (super love! I've posted about it already), Cyberworld (for stuff like TTT and Strong Woman and Prince Noir, where Just My Type is a little too much and Nightmoth is too red), Nightingale (I don't own Vino, so I will use this one for adding depth to reds that I don't want to take darker with my usual Nightmoth, or when I want to add a little red depth to fuchsia and magenta…it's quite red for me) and Edge To Edge, which is a glorious rich smokey shade that's just a bit stronger than my go-to MLBB Dervish. This is a perfect color to add a little bit of connection to rose pinks like Venus, that are a little too cutsey-poo and wrong looking on my pigmented lips. I'll also love using it with nudes to turn them into MLBB colors, with browns like Styled in Sepia, to soften them up without lightening them, and with a variety of grey lavender shades like Flaunting It and Till Tomorrow, to feminize them a bit without taking away the lavender too much. It's like the amped-up love child of Dervish and Cranberry. It looks NOTHING like the swatch of it on the MAC site.

That sounds pretty Naomi. I should have gotten a BU of that gloss.

Cyberworld would be the one from this collection I'd use with Gunner, even though it's got a bit of red in it. However, the one I'd use above any others from MAC would be Just My Type, that super dark cool brown from a few years ago from the Tour de Fabulous collection. That one is so cool toned, it doesn't add any red at all, and yet isn't stark either, so you get a very nice, subtle transition to your skin that adds lots of depth. It's what I swear on to line Firm Form and all my other black lipsticks so they won't go red. I haven't worn Gunner with liner yet, but so far, it hasn't needed it the way stuff like Punk Couture needs it - it stays on and stays fresh very well, even with eating and drinking, and it doesn't feather on me, so I haven't needed the pencil yet.

Uh, Just My Type is the black hole of lip liners on me! I have tried it with a few lippies but it's sooo pigmented (& light application is impossible) that it just eats up every single other colour (apart from black perhaps).

 

[Vandekamp]

Thanx girls!!! I'm curious wut did u girls pick up, if anything???

I bought all of the lip pencils except CYY because it is too light for my taste. I did no like the lipstick either.

 

[Vandekamp]

Cyberworld, Nightingale and Heroine! All the purples!!!

Mine too. Cyber World, the lipstick, is too dark for me, but I love the lip pencil.

Yea understood, u don't like anything too dark or light... CW is gonna look fab with RiRi Boy haha... U must be in love with Nightingale since u seem to favor midtones

TY, good to know, I sure will grab Fruit Cocktail once they get here.


I just tried Cranberry with Oxblood today (wanted more precise edges).

I need to try Cranberry with Oxblood at some point, but I haven't worn it with liner yet.

What you can try with JMT is sharpen it really well then apply it AFTER your lipstick, just around the edges that need the definition, like the cupids bow and under the lower lip, rather than around the entire mouth. Then blend a little more lipstick in with a brush. I've done this before. I do mostly use it for my black and dark brown lipsticks, but it works just fine this way with Gunner and Punk Couture.

I bet there are other brands out there that make a very dark, cool brown. You love those vampy lips, so I know you will find it handy!

Do you have any favorite lip combos yet?

 

[KaysWays]

My order came in yesterday I ended up Cyber World, CYY, Nightgale and threw Chestnut in the mix (Wanted to see if it was darker than Cork for me). Finally got to pick up the Heroine gloss and CYY as well. Needed to restock on my Spiked and a couple of other things. Now off to stalk the other threads to see what to plan for next. Excited this looks like it's going to be a good MAC year

You know me so well.

Believe it or not I used to wear just about every lipstick with Nightmoth. Now I seem to wear every lipstick with CyberWorld. I use a lip brush to blend it in well. I prefer to wear a lot of my lip pencils without any lipstick. I do like the Heroine lip liner with Dodgy Girl.

You know me so well.

Yes girl and Nightingale will look flawless with Fashion Revival, which u must own! I'm gonna nickname u Middy Mouse haha
