MAC - Colour Forms Discussion

[thedrinkgirl]

New to posting here but I wanted to say that I previewed the Nordstrom's Colour Forms and did my pre-order a couple weeks ago. I picked up my items on Friday and actually bought more while I was there. I LOVE the colors! The pigments are super rich in color. I have black and red hair with green eyes so the colors are incredible for me. I am a cocktail waitress at a Strip hotel in Vegas and always wear tons of MAC to work. Gotta give the guys something else to look at besides my cleavage - HAHA!

Here's the colors that I got the other day:

Royal Flush Pigment (My Fave!!!)
Steel Blue Pigment
Quick Flash Richmetal Highlighter
Deep Deposit Richmetal Highlighter
Rose Bullion Richmetal Highlighter

I've never posted anything so I'm not sure how I would even post a picture but I do a very dramatic eye for work every night and I'll take pictures since I'll be using the new colors today. Hopefully I will figure out how to upload the pic.

I now have 105 shadows in my collection and am always looking for new ways to wear the colors together. Hope my opinion helps. It's definitely a great color selection at Nordstroms. Totally fun. A MUST HAVE!!!!!

I just got my package!

I got the purple advanced brush set & Rose go Round l/s. I can't wait to put these babies to use!

I just found out that FINALLY, my city is getting a MAC counter in The Bay on August 1st

, so I'm really hoping I can get some Colour Forms stuff then. I'd like to get the cool lip palette and the cool eye palette, and luckily I get paid the day before.

Or maybe, my makeup world will be crushed, and they won't have Colour Forms since they weren't open on the launch date? That would pretty much suck, but as I have never actually gotten to go to a counter before, I don't know how something like that would work.

^^ That could very well be. When my Macy's counter opened they did not have any items from past collections. If there's something you really, really, really want from Colour Forms I wouldn't count on it being at your new counter....I'd get it now.

I agree. We had a counter open a couple of days before the Beauty Powder Blushes were launched and they never got them in. So, I wouldn't count on your new counter getting Colour Forms, either.

Woot - my package arrived today and nothing melted!! I can't wait to play with Circa Plum and Gilded Green...I have a feeling they will be very pretty together!

 

[HeatherAnn]

I got my package today!!! (Gilded green and circa plum) Both are lovely but the green is soooo beautiful!

 

[winterwonder]

Ugh I need to stop opening this thread. =P You all are making me want those new pigments oh so bad. I hate being a freaking junkie.

 

[mariecinder]

I broke down and ordered Naked To The Core, Pop Circle, and Inner Hue. I hope I like them! I don't have any nudes so I'm excited about Naked To The Core!

 

[imperfectbeauty]

I have been using the brushes for about a month or longer (Colour Forms was released here in June). Here's what I think.
187SE: It is not as soft and fluffy as the original.
168SE: Brush is firm and good for adding colour where you want it, but not blending.
212SE: Generally fine.
219SE: Ok, although it feels a little scratchy on the delicate skin of the eyes.
275SE: Best brush of the set. It is soft and full. As described, good for applying and blending eye shadow.

"I Broke Down"...

That happens to me a lot! I hope you really like them - I think they are very very pretty on. Inner Hue looks pretty with just a light application, but the color is buildable. I haven't received my NTTC yet but hope I like it as much as Pop Circle & Inner Hue

Well, on Friday I ordered the following items online & they should be delivered tomorrow:

Royal Flush, Tea Time, Circa Plum & Gilded Green Pigments
Dark Influence RMH
Sun Centered Colour Forms Powder
Inner Hue l/s

I decided at the last minute not to get the Warm Eyes Palette. Someone tell me why this was or wasn't a good decision. Is it worth the $38 or are the colors pretty easily dupable?

She told me all were available except Tea Time's stock was pretty low and I may get an e-mail saying it was back-ordered or out of stock. She then took my CC info and said I would receive my order in 3 - 4 days. Wheww!! Hope I get everything!

I got my order yesterday and received everything I ordered. And today I'm wearing the "Naked to the Core" look from the face chart erine1881 posted. Such a lovely look! I'm glad I already had Greenstroke PP and plumage es.

Can't wait to play w/the RMH... They feel the same as the RMHs I got in 2006.

'Cause they'll probably be at a CCO in a couple of months (September). If I see them there, I'll swatch them to see if they're worthy of purchasing. $38 is too much for me to lay down, sight unseen, for these puppies. And the swatches I've seen in the swatch forum don't inspire me enough to purchase them.

Inner Hue is so so pretty! Today I put Fafi Sugar Trance lg over Inner Hue - love! It makes it this soft shimmery coral peach pink

Yes! lol I wasn't going to get anything from this collection but your raves about them sold me! And I'm such a lippie whore...hehe. I can't wait to get them!

Question though, because of the core does the color apply evenly and the same each time?

 

[imperfectbeauty]

i fell in love with royal flush yet again!! it's the perfect frosted red and i know people have been complaining that it shows up like a bronzey red but omg for me it's soooo perfect.

i think it depends on the base that you use with it though which will affect the outcome of what it looks like. i cannot wait to use this!! i might do a look tonight with it.

Well, I know you're a nudie tootie gal, but I think Inner Hue would look awesome on you. Also, you could really rock the new (don't scream) Cult of Cherry rich dark lips.

I was gonna post this earlier - somewhere - your posts are cracking me up these days - what a hoot you are
