Beau quad vs. Tempt Me: Hard to Please e/s

[lola336]

Ok, I hope this doesnt sound crazy...but hard to please is in both of these quads. I have been trying to compare the two and I swear they don't look the same. The h2p in the Tempt me looks a lot darker than the Beau. And when I swiped each of them, it took more swipes of the beau e/s to get it as dark as the tempt me. Is is just me or did anyone else notice this.??

this is tempt me:

and this is beau:

they are both kinda sheer, but they are completly different IMG+HO, and therefor I think that you could def keep them both

I wonder how come it's different, if it's supposed to be the same shadow? Do things tend to vary according to "batches"? This is worrisome.

 

[Sanne]

wait you ment the shadow itselve...sorry I'm a bimbo for not reading

seems to me that they aren't that different, but it's possible that the shadow can be a bit different in texture, and will give a different finish

Yea im just referring to hard to please in both quads. I dont know maybe its just me..but when i took a swatch with my finger i needed to do it like 2-3 time to get the beau color the same as one swipe of the tempt me...it just seems like it may be more frosted than the tempt me quad. I tend to overanalyze...lol.

Star to try to answer your comment...I guess since the tempt me quad is older it may have been reformulated.....hmm here i just checked the color stories...even the description isnt the same:

BEAU: Hard to Please - Tarnished Silverplate with yellow/white frost (frost, LE)
TEMPT ME:Hard To Please - Beiged-gray (Frost)


Well I guess they just added more frosting to the new one...ok i will just have to keep it then..lmao. (as if I didnt plan to do that already...haha)

mac tends to do this quite a bit.
As son_risa actually stated about the "new" blue pigment compared to the "old" blue pigment the older only took one swipe for a lot of color whereas the new blue pigment takes a few swipes to achieve the same depth/color.

They change the texture, or the finish or whatever, to try to get a different but simila look, so thats probably the case here. I have both, Ill test them later and see what I can come up with, but Im pretty sure this is the case.
HTH!

i think the quad you might be thinking about for similarities is the Tesae Me quad which has the blue color or something.

edit: oops. didn't read it all the way. lol. you were just looking at one shadow.

ops:

 

[mac_obsession]

ok so they are totally different.
Even though they are the same color, same texture (frost) there is a definate diference I cant explain but i see and feel a difference.
The first on the left is the tempt me quad, the second on the right 4beau

THANK YOU...so much for checking this out for me....A-HA! So I am not going totally crazy..lol....I think eventually layering the beau it will look the same...but yea if u put the pans side by side..the Beau quad is more reflective. And i know...it does feel a little different.

Well thanks again for everyone's imput....I just didnt know if it was the particular quad I had or not. And thanks for posting the swatches for me...very helpful!!! Seeing it on the skin makes a big difference..and now i know its not just me. Ok ok...i will just :have: to keep them both! LOL

 

[mac_obsession]

You're definately not crazy!! I saw the diff immediately...I agree that if you layer the one from 4beau youll get the same effect, but you'll also use more product which sucks...

Neways, glad I could help!!

I depanned my beau bc I didnt like forgery and already had hard to please, but I ended up swapping the sugarlily and pink like paris as well bc I felt they had little to no pigment on my skin. Maybe HTP was the same? Maybe the whole quad was a little light?
