MAC By Request discussion

[liesierre]

I am excited for moth brown.

From what I can tell (from her facebook)...the kid is actually hers
...but the picture she has of herself does not match the ones she's been posting all over the internet. She keeps posting pictures of this Ashley chick from a show and pretending its her...

Ditto...

I have MB but I am going to get ONE more. I am getting Jete plus a few because I voted like CRAZY for that e/s.

Guacamole I just don't get. I would like to hear from people who have it as well.

I just ordered from the Inglot sale and there are so many more pigmented, GORGEOUS greens out there. Guacamole is NOT one of them. The swatches that I see of Guacamole seem so...Blah.

Now as the MU addict that I am insert *evil grin* here... I am sure I will get one to see what all the hype is about, but I have my doubts about that shadow.

Lol. I'm still team everything. But I would like to know from those who had Guacamole and gave it away, why didn't you like it?

I wish solar white would've won instead of guacamole

 

[BeLucky]

I'm gonna get all 3 eyeshadows...but yeah, I'm still curious how Guacamole won with the votes....cuz I haven't seen anyone who is like "ZOMG I LOVE GUACAMOLE!"

ZOMG...I love guacamole! The food.

The eyeshadow looks pretty though.

I would have liked Solar White or Cool Heat, personally.

 

[EekaBoo]

I can't wait to see some looks that people create with Guacamole, because so far it looks like a puke green with glitter.

Absolutely agree T's swatches of it are gorgeous

 

[Shellcat]

FYI---

I have Solar White, and NARS Albatross looks EXACTLY the same on my NC35 skin.

I have a swatch pic of the two somewhere in this thread.

I wonder if people were like, "Oh look! A bright-colored eyeshadow that isn't blue!" and they voted for Guacamole. I have plenty of green shadows, most of them Urban Decay, and I love them, but I don't wear them a whole bunch, so I don't want to add another green into the mix!

I will probably get the other two, but not too sure about BUing.

I think I'll probably pair it with some blue and gold... the gold/yellow -- green -- blue combo always works out nicely for me.

 

[Copperhead]

I remember having Guacamole when it came out with the Salsabelle collection years ago and for some reason I don't remember it being as drab looking as the one I'm currently seeing in By Request pics.

That sounds like it would be a pretty combo.

 

[califabulous]

LMAO!

Hmm thanks Shellcat! Im going to hunt that swatch down

 

[Shellcat]

Knowing MAC, they probably changed the shade/texture a bit.

normally I dont get too into green eyeshadows because my eyes are green... but this one is light enough to be different....I look cute in pastel tones...I can make it work.

I have no doubt that it can be made to look good. The question is, will it look good enough for me to want to buy it?

 

[BeLucky]

I'm thinking guac and bronze or brown. Kinda like a patina look...the effect on metal, not the other MAC shadow of the same name. I've paired green eyeshadows with orange-y ones, too, like Firecracker from To the Beach, and that turned out pretty.

 

[Shellcat]

Yes! I LOVE greens and corals together!

My favorite combo is NARS Night Porter in the crease, Amber Lights on the lid, with a touch of Saffron to blend out.
