MAC - Colour Craft Discussion

[GlamQueen21]

Frost lipsticks are okay but I'm more of a Lustre lover. The only lipstick finishes that I haven't tried is Matte and Cremesheen. Ok, today I get my paycheck and I don't know what other item(s) that I want. Should I get Warm Blend MSF first or Cheek & Cheerful Mineralize Blush first?

frost lipsticks look horrible on me!!! i cant do them. my new love are matte lipsticks. i have Verve, Taupe and Ruby Woo and i love them all. i would love to see a sweet matte collection by MAC.

Ok so after using Warm Blend for a couple of days I am sad to report that it is simply too dark for my NC20 self. I was hoping that with a light application it would be a pretty, bronzed look but it just looks muddy and streaky.

I now wish I had gotten Sunny By Nature as I just might have been able to pull it off seeing as it is much lighter. Sigh... But I will say that Warm Blend is fun to look at- it's so pretty!

I used the Natural Flare e/s today for the first time. The color payoff is horrible, and the fallout was everywhere. Blech, it's going back!!

I like Kinda Sexy as a neutral peach browney lip. It is matte also.

Thanks

I was still thinking about WB and if I should get it or not. After trying it on in the store and seeing that is was too dark, I still kind of wanted it. It is soooo pretty. So now I will definitely leave it for someone else.
But SBN is really, really pretty and much lighter. So on my list

Wasn't SBN is too orange for you a while ago?

i loveeeee my colour crafted lipstick, it was brighter than i expected to be though. i can apply it on its own or put different lipglosses on top to change the colour a bit. it doesnt make my lips scaley either luckily.

I used mine for the first time today and liked it! I did get a little bit of fallout from the glitters, but nothing I couldnt deal with

Even if it did suck I would be stuck with it as we cant return things here after they have been used (unless faulty or allergic reaction) so if I did want to get rid of it my only option would be the clearance bin

I finally got over my fear of blush and put on more than just a tiny tiny dusting of Daft Pink with Moon River as a highlight...

And I got a bunch of compliments at work and kept stopping by the mirrors when I passed them to check out my cheeks. I LOVE this color!

I finally got to swatch these in the store. I really liked Smooth Merge and Cheeky Bronze. I wasn't really feeling the MES. I think it's just cause I don't like the concept of the 4 shadows in one pot lolz! My store was sold out of natural flare though. I thought the 131 brush was nice but it really would be repeative for me to get it since i have 2 187 and 1 188. It was a nice collection though....HUGE collection.

Once you get the hang of it and start figure out what colors you like on your skin and placement, it is all up from there. You will quickly find out the wonders of blush.

Glam, I think Warm Blend would be lovely on you! And it's so versitle with the 3 diff colors.

Chickatthegym^^ I agree...the only Frost lipstick I have been able to get to work and not look like a frosty mess on me are....Madly Creative, Out To Shock and B-Babe....No others have worked or looked like anything worthwhile on my lips

I agree. I am sad that I can't make frost look good on me.

You see when I wear a frost, I look like Blanche Deveraux from The Golden Girls (you know, the first Sex in the City).

Queue Song:

And if you through a party
We Invite everyone we knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend.
