MAC - Cremesheen Discussion

[dreamer246]

I bought fan fare the other day, and it looks great on me, a nice pinky-coral. But time will tell if it will grow on me and become a favorite.

I'm planning to get Speed Dial and Hot Gossip too, and possibly On Hold or Party Line. Would Brave Red or Dare You look better on a cool-toned person like me? And are any of these lipsticks comparable to other MAC lippies? Sorry for asking so many questions, I'll love to buy them all but I'm kinda broke so I'm trying to narrow down my list.

Gee, I'm now wondering how Ravishing looks on me. Gotta try it on the next time I go to a MAC counter.

I no longer have faith in macs promo images for lips.

Remember urgent slimshine looking like a deep red? Or the c shock blue lipstick. Blech!

yeah I know what you mean. What makes me more excited about these lippies is that they are cremesheen texture, which is more opaque and longlasting, so there may be hope!

(and it has to be blue based, yellow based does not suit me)

I have the same question(and coloring

)

 

[dreamer246]

I only swatched them once at the store, from what I remember Hot Gossip and Speed Dial are the cool-toned pinks. Maybe even Speak Louder.

Can't wait for the new Creamsheens, I'll have to sve some empties so I can B2M them.
And I hope the new cream glasses will be perm!

I have bought Creme Sheen in Dare You and Brave Red, and I think this is my all-time fave MAC lipstick formulation. Here is a pic of me wearing Dare You:

BTW, I am an NC25. Happy shopping!

I love Dare You as well. On me, it's like a slightly browned version of Dubonnet. Gorgeous. And the cremesheen formula is fabulous.

It's true. MAC is silly. I retain hope, though.

Yes, the liners are repromotes, and of permanent shades at that. Cremestick liners are my absolute favourite lip liners.

This is pretty much exactly why I retain hope.

I finally just got my very first Creamsheen from my lovely package pal. I received speed dial and I love it. The feeling of these lipsticks are amazing!! I need to get more of these!

 

[Sanayhs]

Maybe I should try one of these on something other than my hand some day... *giggle*

Thanks sooo much for linking the pictures. I really appreciate it. Both look great on you!

I want to get one or both or them (depending on whether my budget allows for it), but I'm cool-toned and they're warm-toned reds. Hopefully they'll look good on me too.

Any cool-toned person here can claim to have successfully worn Brave Red / Dare You?

You know, a lot of Asian women are afraid of warm-toned reds, but I really feel that east Asian NCs can look really good in them. Please give them a try at the MAC store!

Oh..I know about the wisdom teeth--the pain and that chipmunky look! Hang in there and you'll be glad you did it (but maybe not now!)

 

[dreamer246]

Well, I'm afraid of too warm-toned lip colors because they look really bad on me. Thanks a lot for the encouragement! I'm heading to a MAC store as soon as the swelling goes down.

Have you tried out any other colors? Ravishing looks interesting, but I'm kind of doubtful that it'll look good on me.

They are fantastic. Fanfare will get some siblings next year.
