Metal Rock (purchased 3, on my last one) & Warmed (have 2 left)

Both are perfect everyday colors for me.

How do you use your Metal Rock?

 

[BitBitBabiGirl]

Soft & Gentle, or Shimpagne.

 

[stickles]

In order of most fav to least:

1. Light Flush (just enough color on my apples)
2. Warmed (peachy, wakes up face, not bronzey like in pan)
3. Lightscapade (no-fail subtle glow)
4. Soft and Gentle (hello cheekbones)
5. Blonde (nice color, but a pain to swirl the stripes together evenly)
6. Gold Deposit (gorgeous but a little orange on my skintone)
7. Northern Light (glitterbomb)
8. Gold Spill (glitterbomb)
9. Shimpagne (only because it's shattered from being dropped on carpet(!!))

 

[Alliestella]

I have : Shimpagne, Gold Deposit, Metal Rock, Stereo Rose, Pleasureflush, Petticoat, Glissade, Lightscapade, Naked you, Shooting Star, Global Glow, Gold Spill, Northern Light, So Ceylon, Perfect Topping, Warmed

and I love
1. Stereo Rose
2. Warmed
...
3. Perfect Topping : I really like that one, but I have it only for a few days

I don't like : Lightscapade & Porcelain Pink

I love the color of Naked you but hate the texture.

And I can't wait to get Blonde, Brunette & Redhead

 

[panda0410]

^^I SO wish they would bring back Stereo Rose

So many of us would like to have it I am sure MAC knows this would be a HUGE sales hit and yet we still dont get it

BOO to corp execs who make crappy decisions like that

At the moment my fav is Brunette - cant get enough of this MSF, I

it so much!

 

[Mizz.Coppertone]

Gold Deposit

 

[Colorqueen]

Wow, That is a hard question. You see, MSFs are all useful for different areas for me. Some cross over into different uses, but I have them listed here by primary uses for me. And I group them together for different seasons and appearance looks, so I can not pick just one for favorite.

This is what I own:

CONTOUR
Metal Rock
So Ceylon
Gold Deposit
Shooting Star

BLUSH ENHANCERS
Petticoat
Stereo Rose
Warmed
Northern Light
Glissade
Gold Spill
Light Flush
Naked You
Blonde

HIGHLIGHTERS
Shimpagne
Porcelain Pink
Soft & Gentle
Refined
Perfect Topping
Pleasureflush
Lightscapade
New Vegas


Again, it is almost impossible for me to choose a favorite because I use them in combinations for different palettes and looks that I need.

I really love them all, but if I had to choose a few, here is what I would probably choose today- anyway. HAHAHA


I guess my top picks are
CONTOUR
Metal Rock

BLUSH ENHANCERS
Stereo Rose
Blonde

HIGHLIGHTS
Refined
Pleasureflush
Perfect Topping
(all equally tied)

Hello all, my friend is on vacation and will get stuffs for me. They have petticoat and light flush. Which one do you guys recommend? I have perfect topping, redhead, hot planet, moonriver. I also have tippy, fun& games, 2 hk beauty powders. Which one (petticoat or light flush) will add a unique color to my kit? I dont want to get one with similar color to the ones I already have. Thanks everyone!!

 

[TISH1124]

Everyone should own Petticoat IMO...it is beautiful!! It is nothing like the ones you mentioned you have

 

[allinbee]

Thanks Tish! Coming from MSF expert like you, I have to agree!

Both are different from what you have, but Light flush is a bit more difficult to work with than PEtticoat. I would say that PEtticoat is a safer bet to get. Light Flush has an intense shimmer factor that is tricky sometimes, although it is pretty. Petticoat is quite a bit easier to use and looks pretty too.

Thanks Colorqueen! Petticoat it is! I wouldn't like intense shimmer. Thanks for your info!

I use MSFs constantly and I tend to avoid Light Flush when I am in a hurry because it is so quirky. I have to barely touch the 187 brush to the surface and then barely touch my face as I sweep it over my skin or it will look REALLY shiny. Many times I am not in the mood to fuss like that.

I think you will like Petticoat.

The new ones coming out in May sound amazing- but time will tell.

Good to know cause I am rushing all the time. I hate to really work on color to show up. That's why I like the grand duos cause it is quite pigmented. Do you think I can use petticoat as blush?

You meant colour craft will come out in May? I thought it is coming out in July. While on the subject, what do you think of porcelain pink? texture? color? is it similar to anything I have or to petticoat?

THanks Colorqueen!

Do you think I can use petticoat as blush? I am nc 25 in sculpt. You meant colour craft will come out in May? I thought it is coming out in July.

LOL! Light Flush is so intense that you have to work to get it NOT to show up on me! I am NW25. IT is like two florescent light pink ski slopes on my skin if I am not careful! HAHAHAH

I use Petticoat all of the time for blush- although I always use several colors anyway- I put a darker one under it and the Petticoat over it to blend. I never use just one color- as an artist, I always have to use several colors to look more natural to my persnickety eye.

And yes, I made an oops-= CC is the one that comes out in MAY but that has the bronzescape series in it I think which is worth ANYTHING you have to do to get it.

The MSFs come out in July- you are correct. There are SO many collections I loose track a lot these days. I think I am on MAC overload at times.

I llove to use Porcelain Pink as a highlight over warmer colors. the onlly problem you might have with Petticoat is that it tends to be cooler- and you sound like you tend toward warm- that is not necessarily a problem though. As for PP,- I use it as highlight when I am done with warm combos of MSFs.

For cooler highlighting I use Perfect Topping, and REfined I love for highlighting on warmer palettes too.

I change my haircolor, eyecolor, and clothing color as well as skintone to completely transform my look on a regular basis (from day to day sometimes) so I have to have an entire arsenal of MSFs and basics to help that transition. That is why I talk so widely about the usage.

Plus as a makeup artist I have to keep myself in practice for doing different skintones in clients as well.

As for being a newbie......

I must be the only person who doesn't like Petticoat. I just got in and I dont find anything spectacular about it. Maybe I used it incorrectly.

Wowwww!!! you are obviously a colorqueen!! you deserve the title.

Thanks again for a very thorough explanation.

 

[agswife]

Right now, mine is Refined. I love this over Warm Soul blush. I really want Perfect Topping too!

FYI to all you petticoat lovers out there or girls that missed the boat with petticoat they have 10-12 in stock at the MAC in the flatiron building (5th and 22nd St) in NYC.

If anyone missed out and is looking for it they can call and get it there!
