Me too!

I thought I brought home Speak Louder after playing at my local counter. After putting it on my lips, it ended up being Fanfare! It's a toned-down pink of Speak Louder on me and just as pretty as SL.

My review:

Bankroll-dupe of Swimming e/s

I tried most of the pinky colors and Modesty was a basic mauvey go-to color

Lipliner suggestions:

Creamola
Cherry O'Spice

and another liner with "fruit" in the name

are all liners the MA pulled out for me to try. The "fruit" one didn't show up much.

Summerfruit cremestick

 

[GlamYOURUs]

Even those these are perm I still went ahead and bought 3 lol

My review:

I really like this new formula! Its like a lustre and Amp mixed into one. You can either put it on sheer or build it up!
I bought: Speed Dial, Modesty, & Fanfare. And these are the lighter ones of the collection but oh so gorgeous! I plan to pick up the others down the road since they are perm. No hurry guys. =) But do try them out, they are lovely!

I have included swatches in the swatch forum.

Totally. but atleast we dont have to worry about buying five so we dont miss out! haha. I didnt even look at these to be honest, I know they will be there in a few months when we have a break in LE's (hah)

i really think it was an afterthought seeing as how there's nowhere in the display to put it.

I'm on pins and needles for more swatches since I can't get to a counter soon - somehow, the ones we have till now look very different from each other, and I can't tell which are colour-accurate. For instance, I fell in love with jenntoz' swatch of Creme de Nude? in our swatch thread, but in Karla Sugar's Blog and other swatch posts it looks so different, that I'm wondering if jenntoz actually swatched Modesty. *confused*

 

[sleepyhead]

they probably are. it's the same with my swatches. we got them off ebay and they didn't have label on the bottom and the seller said it's creme d' creme, but it's identical to modesty when i swatched it when i went to the counter

Audrey, I played with these a little today, and just as Divinity mentioned, Creme d'Nude mixed with Ravishing creates a colour like the one in the promo pic. I think this combo would look amazing on you! I was very tempted, but ended up only getting Creme d'Nude and Modesty (for now!). But I may pick up Ravishing later on, as well as Speed Dial and Fanfare. I was gooood! (This was ofcourse, after *ahem* buying much of the Ungaro collection).

thanks for taking the time to check those out! i'm definitely going to pick both up.

I see! - thank you so much for clarifying, I'll just keep my eyes open then

out of the 3, which do you like best?

 

[mac_aiken]

Picked up Hang Up and Dare You today. Just gorgeous! And totally not the colors I originally thought I would get. Went in for Brave Red but it is a tad too pink for me. My MA who is also a redhead was wearing Ravishing and it was amazing!

Does anyone have any liner recs for the two that I picked up?

 

[Ernie]

Here is the polish, i love it although it's not anything like the model has on.
It's much lighter and less peach.

 

[BunnyBunnyBunny]

More Facecharts! My scanner scanned them very faded looking, I dunno why. =( and it really shows how asymmetrical they are. But you guys can tell what I was going for on the charts. =P

Modesty
Face: Fleur Power
Eye: Quarry on lid, Mystery in crease, Blonde's Gold for highlight, Boot Black, All Black. Velvetone on brows.
Lip: Spice, Modesty, Clear.

Fascinating
Skin: Sincere.
Eye: Smoke & Ash (large), Smoke & Ash (small) in crease, Fascinating and Boot Black and Carbon liner, 7 Lash on top and bottom, Plushblack. Quarry on brows.
Lip: Pink Treat, Creme D'Nude, Clear.

 

[pat]

I got Modesty, Ravishing, Stay in Touch, and Fanfare.

BTW, Fanfare and Stay in Touch are a great combo together!

OMG is pretty!

Creme D'Nude looks great on paper but not on me! hahaha

You did a great job Bunny!

 

[BunnyBunnyBunny]

I actually used Modesty for shading. Maybe if you lined your lips with Modesty and blended inward, then highlighted the inside of the lip and blended outward with Creme D'Nude it'd work for you. =) Just a suggestion.

 

[CantAffordMAC]

I got Modesty. Im really upset with my choice. It looks kinda like 4N, and hug me. On me anyways. I didnt want a lipstick that I had to erase my own lip color first. I swiped this ALOT and it hardly showed......

plus when I opened it there was lipstick all over the inside of the tube

 

[MAC*alicious]

Are they all in Germany perm too? I must buy Creme d'Nude and Fanfare, they look really awesome (=

That are my first MAC lipsticks, I never used them before but I think I must try that

Oh and Bunny your facecharts are beautiful! I love them!
