MAC Daphne Guinness Discussion

I need another blush like a hole in the head but........I am still lemming it!

I can't think of any dupes in teh perm line. I went and looked at all the blushes this weekend and nothing really struck me. I would not be surprised to hear of other dupes coming out in later collections this year, however.

By the way, I love Nebula pigment. I have used it almost every day this week since purchase on Monday. Perfect contour color for blue eyes and works with either warm or cool toned schemes. By far, the best product of the collection for me, and best pigment in a long, long time. I have to layer it with a brown eyeshadow to bring out the brown tone, but I have plenty of those. It looks really smoking over Idyllic PP if you have that, with Outre in the crease.

I am actually really liking it although it is quite subtle and light. I have been wearing it all over my cheeks with either On a Mission BP or Vintage Grape (LOVE!) as a punctuated flush at the apples. I can't seem to wear it alone (and I am pretty pale NW15) but I love it as an all over glow to perk up my winter skin. I don't think there are any dupes so if you think you might want it, grab it while you can!!!
The big surprise for me was how wearable and beautiful Vintage Grape is even on my pale skin. I am so glad I impulse bought it last week when I went in for my 3rd Narcissus!

I agree!
I found Nebula's darkness very intimidating at first, but I've gotten used to it, and it's really beautiful.
Nebula and Aurora are the best MAc pigments in a veddy long time.
Aurora, in my opinion, is as good as the deservedly revered Coco. I'll probably back up Aurora.

i'm in love with the seasoned plum/narcissus combo!!!

This! I was intimidated at first, but now I love it. I do have to blend it out and use it just for a punch of color, like in the V or on the lash line. I did get compliments with it, saying it brings out the blues. If you have blue or blue grey eyes, it is the bomb!

I was also worried about the raccoon eyes and fall out comments, so I always apply it wet and I have not had any raccoon mask issues

Speaking of On A Mission BPB, I have to try that and Vintage Grape together one day!

I tried AB and it looked awful on me...nothing special at all....i am warm toned so should have seen it coming...so glad didn't give into the hype...it looks so much like dame on me!

 

[MACina]

......yes,that is such a lovely combo!

i wore aurora on my lids today with some random urban decay shadows in the crease and as a highlight. the looks was lovely however when i added the eldorado 24/7 liquid liner it really looked fabulous! something about the cool tones mixing with the gold liner appealed to me - it's like it shouldn't have worked but totally did

That sounds gorgeous! Did you use it wet or dry? I actually picked up Aurora today and am so excited to use it. I swatched it on my hand and the reflects are so multi-dimensional.

I finally did a manicure with Endless Night. On my skin tone, it looks like Restrict for the nails! 'Love it!! 2 coats and it's perfectly opaque, too. It may not work as well in summer with a tan, but for now...perfect mannequin hands (and i love the subtle pink opalescence)

Sounds beautiful; that Aurora is a real jewel!

I keep debating whether or not I want to get Red Dwarf. Hmm

 

[princess sarah]

YAH MY HAUL ARRIVED TODAY!!

and its as pretty as I hoped, cant wait to try out Azalea Blossom!

I do like Red Dwarf, but on me it looks so much darker than in the swatches I saw online before. So i think it depends what you already have. On me uts a dark berry colour and MAC brought those out before.

has anyone checked into AB being a dupe for Briar Rose???

 

[ahoythere]

I swapped my Briar Rose away last year because it kept losing its cool. Literally. I couldn't get it to retain its blue-pink-ness when it was on my cheeks, but I find that AB stays really cool even when applied because of the lavender. I don't think they are dupes at all!!!

I wore my Azalea Blossom blush today and I was very impressed with the 10hrs of wear I got without any fading! I used Lightscapade as the highlight and it worked wonderfully!.

One bad thing i did notice, i clean my brushes every time i used them, i noticed a film form before my eyes while i rubbed a clean brush across the top of my blush so i had to run a large powder brush over it a few times to clear off the film and spray with beauty so clean and this was the first time I had used it........ bit disappointed but after that it worked perfectly
