This came up in another thread, but I'm wondering what exactly can be discussed in this forum and what cannot. I also wonder to what extend the original posters intentions in posting in the beauty of color forum play a part in the decision by mods to move posts around. Thanks in advance for...

So, I've been watching the brilliant and beautiful David LaChapelle documentary Rize a lot lately (it's been on Showtime in heavy rotation lately). And I've been looking at all that clown makeup and noticing that it seemed to stay pretty stable on the dancers. Has anyone else used clown makeup...

It runs very red and turned out orange on my skin. Gross! I had an appointment with my fav. artist last week. He's also NW45 and actually took it off midday when it launched because it looked so strange on him. NW43 worked on the middle area of my face and we just did the outter area of my face...

So, my Curtsy from Danse smells like old, yucky, nearly rancid lipstick. Nothing has happened to it (like melting or the like) since it's been in my possession. I've been avoiding MAC recently (spent my MAC montly budget by Jan 7th), but will be headed to my counter for the Mineralize stuff...

So, in one of the threads, there was a picture of an actual Barbie doll to accompanty the Barbie Loves MAC collection. Will there be a black Barbie doll as well? The promo picks show black models. I'm not a huge fan of Barbie (but I was when I was little), but I'd buy a black one because it...

I got PMed with a question about my thoughts on Couture from a fellow NW45, and I figured others might be interested. So, I'm posting my (edited) response here. I bought all of the glosses, all of the richmetal highlighters, Red No. 5, and the mystery powder in deep dark. Enjoy! --- Anyway, I...

I heard a rumor at my store that Couture is a test run for a higher end line to compete with Chanel or Armani. Did anyone else hear this rumor? I'm very much torn about the idea of a more expensive version of MAC in the world. Yay for those that can afford it, balls to those who cant... And...

Solve for X. Just Kidding! I remember hearing a while back that all of the She Shines Pigments could be created by mixing existing pigments. So, I'm wondering what else would go into Sunpepper with Blue Brown. TIA. Edit: I found the post the covers this, but there are no likely recipies for...

It's been kind of a tough week, which has prompted me to ask if folks have any tips for quick repair of (eye) makeup that has been slightly ruined or a little bit messed up after crying. In particular, the inner "V", tear duct area of the eye. The real problem that I'm having is that I use UDPP...

I hate to even do this, but I really did look for it in the FAQ and tried a search and everything. Not sure this goes here, so Mods please move if necessary, but... Can we B2M the cremestick and technakhol liners? How about those brow self-sharpening thingies (not the new brow finisher)? Also...

So, I went to my MAC store today and found out that my fav MA got fired, or at least that's what was implied when I asked directly... I'm a bit in shock. She'd been with MAC for a few years and was the asst. manager at this pretty new store. I just can't imagine what she could have done. MAC...

to have a collection (that would be included in the perm. collection) that was geared toward people of color. It would be called "of Color." And they would bring back all of the women of color who've been pimped out, I mean, have modeled for MAC, and bring back disc. colors that were more for us...

http://cgi.ebay.com/NIB-MAC-Amplifie...QQcmdZViewItem The box, lipstick shape, lipstick top, and name are all suspect. And who would buy a real mac lipstick that's old enough to be in the old style packaging? Did they have amplified cremes back then?

So, who's going to be the main VGVI spokesperson. Kinda like how Pam Anderson was the main one for VGV, but there were other women who were with the original ad campaign. I hope its Dita or maybe Eve. By the by, did I read somewhere that dita is the face for the holiday collections?

I'm a bit dissapointed by the new collections. I was soooo excited and then Courage and Well-Plumed were such a huge dissapointment in person. I don't know how they got Courage to look that way on the model, but they must have put orange shadow under it, copper pigment with it, and then did a...

How do you put them on? With a brush? Fingers? What do you use them with? Lip Balms? Lipsticks? Glosses (clear or otherwise)? I've been experaminting a bit with different combos, but mostly I'm worried about cross-contaminating my pigments, glosses, brushes, etc., and am curoius how other...

Yes, I realize there is another thread on this topic right now, but I had some other questions. I'll be headed to the pro store in San Francisco and the pro store in LA. I'm looking for reccomendations on what to get AND who to talk to when I get there, so if you have a fav MA let me know.

So, I went to my local CCS the other day and picked up some things. I was looking at the pigments, and they put the shimmersouffle with them. I was in a hurry and not really paying attention so I just picked up the Adorn box thinking it was a pigment I'd never heard of and bought it. know, I...

Just had to share.... So, I ordered all three MSFs and 2 of the Mineralize e/s (the green one and the Burning ambition one) probably within an hour or two of the stuff going online. I paid $5 for 2 day shipping. They attempted to deliver the stuff yesterday, but no one was home. I then decided...

I went to my counter last night and got a behind the scenes preview of A Muse. My MA actually took me into the employee area to show me the display, but the cosmetics manager saw us, so I hope she doesn't lose her job or get into too much trouble. ANYWAY, she mentioned that the Avant Gold stuff...
