MAC Après Chic Collection Discussion (December 2012)

[KiKi Kontour]

Wearing Hot Choc for the first time today. It's TAUPE!!! With a tinge of plum, and possibly a touch of grey. I was super concerned it would look like I'd smothered my lips in, erm..., excrement. But I needn't have worried at all because this baby doesn't show brown on me, not one bit. LOVE IT!

Paired it with All Woman quad on the eyes and Taupe Shape + Poised on the cheeks. Worked a treat!

im tryin to wear HC in different ways to get more comfortable with it. its such a different color than i normally gravitate too so im not gonna give up! i think i need to try it with different liners cuz i totally felt like a grandmother goin to her grandchilds soccer game looking to hit on the couch

Haute Altitude with Cult Fave lipglass from Fafi = LOVE!

I wore HA today w/MAC's Angel lipglass.

What is this BL Toff you speak of? Never heard of it.

You're pulling my leg right? You must be sick of hearing about it

Huge shout-out to Yazmin. I got my CP Pressed Amber, one of my all-time favorite MAC blushes. Yazmin, thank you so much. It arrived on Friday, one day ahead of the original ETA.
I am ever grateful to you for taking the time to do this.

A few of you were discussing Pressed Amber. I'm at my CCO now and they have four available.

I went from Face & Body (the ocean) to Studio Fix Powder + Foundation (the desert) when I really wanted something in between.



@ Mac-Guy "Try Studio Sculpt + Sheer Mystery Powder. This will give you a very natural look, but not overly dewy".

Thank you Mac-Guy! As you suggested, I purchased Studio Sculpt & used it with my SMP from the Making Pretty collection. You were spot-on. I love, love , love the result...absolutely flawless.

Pulling your leg? Moi?

I'm never sick of hearing about NP!

Toff is one of those shades I love on other people but not on myself. I doubt I'd ever wear it. I have Angora Cardi and I've only ever worn it once. I never knew they were so close!

So out of all the lippies cozy up is my favorite on my nc15 skin. I thought it was haute altitude but cozy up is just a perfect nude. I would back it up if it didn't last so long on my lips!

I love it too….one of the best nudes I have. I'm trying to decide on whether to back it up too.

I want to try it...

I hope you will. The finish is just flawless. I can't believe I went without something this special for so long. It's amazing.

I tried using the Studio Careblend pressed powder for my minimal/no make up look and it was a disaster. My face burned so badly that
I had to immediately wash it. I was surprised because nothing like that had ever happened to me with a product, and I had used SCBPP
before, but over foundation.

They don't selll mystery powder by itself do they?

Amber Glow swatched on NC20ish. I'm so glad I bought AG! It's so pretty and easy every day blush.

I've only seen it in special collections. It's still available online in Making Pretty. They only have three shades, and all but one are sold out. Take a look.
