MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion

[Karen_B]

I just have to say I LOVE French Cuff eyeshadow. Yes, it is a lustre and I know many of you hate that finish, but the beauty of this colour more than makes up for that IMO. It is slightly challenging to apply - but I used Beige-ing shadestick as a base and then patted FC on with the 239 brush and that worked really well. It is the perfect golden pink, I totally love it!

I got the #226 and #165 today!

I wasnt originally planning on getting the #165 but I noticed that when I applied the MSFs with it at the store they went on much better than when I used the #187 at home.. so I went ahead and got one ^_^

I only need a few more lippies from this collection and then Im done.. I hope! lol

I got Redhead, and I have to say... I'm dissapointed!! It's uber-shimmery, and make my pores looks huge and shiny!!

hey girls...

i am still in love with my goodies...
the msf i am using most is redhead....puuure love...
blonde is pretty...2 position for it...
and bronze goes to brunette...i am nw15 and if i apply it lightly, its pretty but i am afraid that it looks maybe to orangey on me...i will post a fotd soon so u girls can give me maybe ur opinion?
the 226 is sold out here...but i found a counter and will buy it on monday...as well as alls fair with b2m...
now i am exited for the ssugar sweet msf...

miss QQ: i have both soft and gentle and redhead msfs and imho they r both very different. Soft and gentle can only be used as either a highlighter/bronzer, but redhead can double up as both a highlighter(the lighter stripes) and as well as a blusher (the darker stripes).

I highly recommend u to buy redhead msf...

Yo Sam, what items did you get from BBR?

Stocks were pretty limited for this collection, so I think you did the right thing by buying it all at once.

Brunette is NOT too orangey on you.

I'm paler than you and I can wear it! I'm blue-pink undertoned.

Thanks! Redhead is very pretty but my wallet has no budget for it. I have to pass it and enjoy just my Blonde.

Sad but true,
I agree with you.

My little attempt at being poetic.

HI Winnie -- Yes, it shows up on me as blush, like the others said though, I'll use it more on the darker strips for blush. It is kinda sheer like you said, but for light makeup days (i.e. only tinted moisturizer, TLC, redhead msf, brows), this works well for me.

Honestly, these MSFs aren't cheap, so if you passed on it, ,then I wouldn't feel too bad.

There is not such thing as a light makeup day for me. My complexion is horrible, so I HAVE to put on my full face makeup consisting of primer, liquid foundation, concealer, and blot powder before I dare to step out of home. I already look very made up by then.

Hey all, as promised, I did a FOTD thread for my first use of Blonde MSF...

Please forgive me as I did this at 9.30pm and it was rushed so it was a sloppy application. I will do a proper FOTD in the next couple of days which should look better!

Jenny, you look gorgeous after a whole day of house-moving!

Blonde shows up fairly pigmented on you!

It's only a sheer pale pink shimmer on me.

 

[MrsMay]

^^ Thanks hun!

Yeah, it was pretty pigmented on me... that was only a very light touch of the 181 as well

 

[dreamer246]

^^ Is it because your skin is fairer, that's why it shows up better on you?

 

[MrsMay]

Probably... I am between NW15-20 (more like NW20 at the moment as I got sunburnt again during the week

) so that would make a huge difference...

 

[dreamer246]

Awww. I hate sunburns.

I hope yours get better soon! Oh, and enjoy your new home.

 

[MrsMay]

^^ Thanks hun! The sunburn isnt too bad at the moment...

We've actually moved back into my parents house while we are waiting for our new house to be built (old house is being demolished starting tomorrow)

But we should have our new house in 6 months time

 

[dreamer246]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they're demolishing your old home, to build a new one over it?
