MAC - Colour Craft Discussion

[GlamQueen21]

Ok, here's my review about this collection:

Lipsticks:
All were so pretty! I'm leaning towards Madly Creative and Made With Love. I didn't swatch the lipsticks since they are too pretty!

Lipglasses:
Everyone should get Eclectic Edge!! It's a gorgeous purple lipglass to have if you don't own any! It would look pretty with Lavender Whip or Fashion Mews. Funky Fusion and Nice Mix Up attracted me! I wanted to get them but I didn't want to spend too much. Also, Pretty Pattern and Miss Marble looked pretty too.

MSFs:
I was blown away by Cheeky Bronze! When I swatched it, it looked gorgeous! That and Smooth Merge are on my list! I didn't swatch the other 5 since they look gorgeous!

Blushes:
I swatched every single blush there!!!! I loved all of them!! I do want to get all of them but the only two that I'm attracted to are Improvise and Cheek & Cheerful. Style Demon was also amazing!

MES:
I didn't bother to swatch them since I'm passing on them.

Brushes:
I only saw the 109 brush but not the 226 (which I already own and will need a second one) and the 131 brush (it's on it's way and I can't wait to get it!).

Can you guys pleeeeease help me??? I have some questions!!!

Since neither Nakeds Honey or Color Craft have been released here yet, what to do:

- Get Buckwheat and Creme De Miel, or go for Natural Flare??? I love neutral shades, but I cannot get all those e/s. I already own Bronze ,Romp and Time & Space, and lots of e/s that looks like Bronze LOL

- Get Queen Bee l/g or Nice Mix Up l/g??? I already own many orangey and peachy l/g, like Utterly Posh for example, but I love those kind of colors so I'll just get one!

-For the MSBs, what do you think about Improvise, HandFinish and Cheek & Cheerful?? I own 2 MSBs, Nuance and Pleasantry. I'm only NC25 but I need to apply Nuance twice. Is HandFinish similar to Fleurry ( colorwise) ?? Is Cheek & Cheerful similar to Nuance or Sunbasque (colorwise) ??

 

[Face2Mac]

Tish, I have worn it twice.

Once over Joyous bpb because you know me and Made for Love l/s are sleeping with each other and another time over something else but now I can't remember and it was just yesterday. I like it and mine has a lot of gold veining, and it didn't leave a lot of glitter, I used the 138/150 I think to apply.

Oh no, I was not bothered with the glosses whatsoever. But now you´ve tempted me. I don´t have many glosses to begin with and if you say they´re great then I should at least check them out. How different are they compared to the dazzleglasses?

To be honest i'm undecided about the face products
I've never been matched at mac to a foundation but i'll just guess with nc15 i'm a pale ass so nothing too too dark as i couldn't pull it off.
With the msfs i'm leaning towards smooth merge and i want one other but not sure which other to get???
MBs i really wish i would be able to get Style Demon to work but i doubt i could. I'm just thinking Daft Pink as i don't really have anything too similar and Hand Finish because of the raves and also the way it looks on Ernie.
However saying all this i'm completely undecided :S.

I have msfs like Petticoat,Porcelain Pink, Light Flush, Blonde and Redhead.
I have no mineral blushes but blushes i have include ones like Fun and Games, Tippy,On a mission, Sunbasque, Dollymix, and Coygirl.

MES i think i'll skip because i depot my shadows so the ones i have already get left out.
Lippies the ones i want are sold out here

(Color crafted and made with love)
and the lipglasses don't interest me atm.


Woooo that was a long post

I LOVEEE HAND FINISH!!!! Cool you're nw20, too! What else did you get from the collection????

Yea, trust me, you NEED hand finish

And I LOVE girlish Romp. That's what I had on yesterday with hand finish. I used the pink on the inner part of the lid, the peach shade on the middle, the violet on the outer, the white part as my highlight, and I used the darker purple from eccentricity on my crease. I'll try and post a pic today.

Nice Mix up did not work.

IMO- The HANDS DOWN BEST bronze look is with refined golden and eversun from the style warriors collection. I bought both of them from tish's and every1 here's enabling and I don't know what I did wthout the 2. They are HG worthy. I'm pretty pale, but when I use these, I just have such a healthy glow. LOVE THEM!!!! I can't wait to try cheeky bronze with them, might be a great addition to the 2.........

Hand Finish definitely (although all blushes are gorgeous!)

My MA was REALLY pale and she rocked Style Demon. It looked hot on her,Which was why I bought it! She just used a light hand. I think if you really like SD you should give it a try. At least you know you could always bring it back if you don't like it.

My girl friend bought Fashion Frenzy blush with the Fafi collection, and it's stunning on her!

Thank you very much, I shall see about searching for Love Rock!

Does anybody else find that their liquid foundation colour is darker than their powder foundation, for example, one MA told me that NC40 was my colour for liquid foundation, but for studio fix powder foundation, another MA matched my skin to NC30. It is supposed to be like that, or has there been a slight mix up somewhere? Any advice would be great, and much appreciated! xx

I was wanting to skip this collection to save up for Illamasqua from Sephora but when I went into Macys I just couldn't resist! I ended up getting Porcelain Pink, Triple Fusion and the 131 brush. I already have the 226 from BBR. Porcelain Pink shoes up really nicely on my NW15 complexion when I spray my brush with Fix + beforehand, just FYI.

NC40 in liquid foundation and NC30 for the powder? I thought powders are supposed to be slightly darker than the foundation that you are matched with.
