I'm a little bit disappointed with MAC. I would have been way more sincere to lay off SUPER photoshopping, especially for the person talking about herself being enough....oh yeah, yourself is totally enough (after we get rid of almost all your wrinkles and make you look 20..you looking 40/50, not good...let's halve that). She's beautiful both ways, but it very much undercuts their message. And yeah, all the model shots were going to be photoshopped...it's how we roll nowadays...but they could have been a little more discrete about it, especially when contrasting with the getting ready shots.

agreed. Her last shot at the bottom looks much better.

Yes, and she's making me really want Simply Swinging n/p!

get it get it get it! I have a lot of nerve, I haven't even paid attention to this collection. All the makeovers look good, but they did her wrong. We need to see wrinkles and women in their 40's, 50's, 60's and beyond.

Yes she looks much better in the video clip! They took about 30 years off of her in the pictures.

I was thinking about get SS but I already have Cool Reserve from a few years back and judging from pictures they look really similar.

I keep waffling on the Mattenes. I've always wanted to try one but the only one I'd get looks insanely streaky and I'm not paying $20 for a crappy lipstick.

You're right, different genders and colors, but really only one age. We're beautiful from the first day to the last.

Oh thank you so much for these! Would you say that Self-Aware was opaque? In T's swatches they didn't seem that opaque, but I don't know how many swipes she does per swatch.

THANK YOU. I've had enough with the ageism from every single angle. I mean they'll photoshop a hint of cellulite on an underweight 16 year old model these days. It makes me sick. Beauty is biological, not made on a computer.

Just finished watching the videos and it's crazy they photoshopped her. When you see her as her real self, no editing, she looks statuesque and beautiful, strong and luminescent. Then when she's photoshopped she looks like some punk teenager who's awkward in their skin. I don't know how it is that a few wrinkles can so fundamentally alter an appearance, but her picture on the site looks like avril lavigne, a nice girl, but just a regular girl. Her video and pictures in her story make her look like someone I would want to know, an icon, or an idol. They removed a big part of her beauty to make her more palatable to a standard that, though ubiquitous, is antiquated and meaningless.

Does anyone else still have the Accentuate/Sculpt duo listed as coming soon, or is it just me?

I received my first order from this collection, I LOVE Deep Love I immediately backed it up. Its perfect for fall. A little lusty is super pretty I have to remember to use a light hand. I like Diva Antics as well. Its not unique at all though. Im sure i have a few dupes.

No dupes for deep love? Can you swatch it? I wasn't going to get it because I felt like I had a lot of similar shades from recent collex

I have been looking for swatches on the patent polishes. Shocked no one has any. Considered ordering the brown one but didn't". I got 3 of the mattene's can't wait to get them. Weird I got a text on Monday, and an email on Monday, Tuesday an email, and today NOTHING! Can't stand the new sight and Mac is not consistent with notifications!

Karen on Makeup and Beauty Blog is wearing them both in her video and article about this collection...look very pretty!

ms.mad · Sep 23, 2015

Thank you, I watched her video. Don't know how I missed it! I will have to watch it again.

Anyone want to play berry bingo? (Top to bottom: Bite Beauty Plum, MAC Fashion Revival, MAC (Faux) Heaux, Bite Beauty Sugared Maple, MAC Eugenie, Bite Beauty Barberry, Bite Beauty Juniper)

Can ya tell I like berries? Flash and yellowish lamp to get better lighting and hopefully cancel each other out. The shades aren't 100%, but I think the differences are pretty accurate. I did tiny dabs of Sugared Maple and Barberry around FR. On my lips it is more different than swatches, but not SO much. Barberry is more purple than it appears here.

On me it's totally opaque. Mine is a heavy swatch.

Thank you!! My box should be walking in the door any minute now, I pray it's a dupe for my dc'd HG and then I need to decide how many BU's I need
