5 most overestimated MAC products

[cipelica]

MAC this, MAC that, but sometimes it really doesn’t wok for you or you do not understand what the fuss is all about.
What are your 5 most overestimated MAC products?

 

[BrowneyedBeauty]

Most of you will probably hate me for saying this but....Blacktrack fluidline. I love the other f/l colors but it just doesn't work for me!

 

[User49]

I really like blacktrack fluidline, but you do have to work it a bit more than bootblack.

I don't get on with trax or smut eyeshadow but everyone seems to love them! Apart from that I can't complain!! xx

 

[NicksWifey]

I don't know if I can come up with 5 products, but there are a couple I have a hard time working with:
Blue Peep f/l-as much as I love the color and love fluidlines in general, there are times when this product works and it doesn't work for me. Sometimes it goes on chunky, sometimes thin. I haven't even had my pot for a year yet.

Trax e/s-I don't get along with Trax either. Too bad because it's a gorgeous color, but I honestly don't know what to make it work with. Whenever I apply it, it gets messy.

 

[Heiaken]

From the products I've used only Juxt e/s has been a disapointment. It's a gorgeous green colour in the pot but it's super dificult for me to get it show up on my eyes

 

[ledonatella]

Let's see...some that are popular but just don't work on me:

1) Shroom- ugh, it looks like a dull blah mess on me, same color as Silly Putty
2) Woodwinked- a darker cousin of Shroom but still as dull and lifeless on my lids, I have seen blue/green eyed girls rock this though, but it's just not for my colouring
3) VGV Lipglass- just too boring, I might as well wear clear lipgloss. I love the VGV Lipstick though that is truely amazing!
4) Amplified Creme Lippies- I just hate this formula, it's so thick and just feels like I have 10 pounds of lipstick on
5) Khol Liners- wanted to love these because they are soft and easy to work with but of course that means they ran down my face after about 2 hours. i'll stick with my gel liners.

I can only think of 1 thing - loose blot powder.

 

[YvetteJeannine]

Did you mean "overrated" products?

If so, I will try to think of a few. The one that really comes to my mind right now is Studio Fix Fluid foundation...

I am sure I can think of a few others..

 

[x.DOLLYMiX.x]

Woodwinked and All That Glitters, Woodwinked just makes me look as if I have had no sleep and All That Glitters turns orange on me. Everyone is going to shout at me here but MSFN its okay but it sticks to all of my dry areas but I still use it with some Fix+.

1. Liquidlast Liners. All of them. Lovely colors but goopy messes that wad lashes together.

2. Zoom Lash. Don't even get me started.

3. Blot Powder. Made me look ashy and that's not an easy feat.

4. Old Gold Pigment. I don't see how this is such a popular color. Reminds me of vomit with sparkle.

5. Lip Pencils. Cannot for the life of me get any of them to work like I think they should. I much prefer Cremesticks to regular Lip Pencils.

At the moment, the one that is sticking in my head in Inky Liquidlast Liner. Really regret buying it.

 

[kkischer04]

I had bought 11 shadows to try looks from various YouTube vids, and I don't seem to be able to work well with Clarity, Naval, and Purple haze...They seem very chalky to me even with udpp. I'm reapplying them all the time...but I love the colors soo much, especially Clarity

 

[yodagirl]

For me, its gotta be the shadesticks. They never work right for me...thank goodness I only bought one

 

[cipelica]

Smolder – It is nit so soft, and when I smudge it it has some sort of blue undertone

Blue Brown pigment – I can not see the blue, it is green and the rest brown/reddish

 

[sharkbytes]

1- I second the shadesticks comment....HATE with blinding passion!

2-I always get so excited for MES, only to regret it later because I can never get a decent color payoff no matter what base I use.

3- Trax--I tried hard to like it, I really did. But it shows up solid gold on my lids, with almost no purple. Which defies physics, since the shadow is dark purple in the pot.

4-Accent Red pigment--It's a beautiful color, but it's shimmery magenta. Not even remotely red (on me at least)

 

[ratmist]

In my mind, there are a lot of products that fall into the "Nice but totally overrated/overhyped/inflated-on-eBay" categories. The top five in my opinion are:

1. The MSFs. Especially the "cult", hard-to-find ones.
2. Anything Limited Edition. They always get over-hyped when the collection finishes.
3. The bags. I don't understand how anyone would pay for such cheap-looking, tacky bags.
4. Blitz & Glitz fluidline. Always shows up dark grey on me.
5. Newly Minted Matte2 eyeshadow. The only way this one shows up on me is if I pack it on around 5 layers, on top of UDPP and concealer. It's chalky and messy. I've found superior greens in the Shu Uemura range.

 

[melliquor]

1. Sweet Sienna - don't get the rave over this pigment. It is very dupable.
2. Liquidlast Liners - bloody hate them... can never get them to look properly and they are sooo hard to get off
3. Trax - makes me look like I have been punched
4. Rose pigment - the most chunky pigment ever
5. Can't think of one right now.

use a cream color base or a paint pot to get them on

 

[blindpassion]

Shroom doesnt show on me.... at all
I put it on and its as if its not even there
but so many people rave about it.
I just dont understand.

 

[juxteyes]

1.Cremestick liners I prefer pencil
2. Shadesticks- they are hard to work with but I still try

3. Sushi flower e/s,
4. Circa plum pigment, way too chunky (perhaps pigments in general)
5. The nail polish doesn't seem as good as everyone talks about
