MAC - Dare To Wear Discussion

So I may end up getting Crazy Cool in the end if it's what I'm looking for. Edit: Based on Karla's swatch, Zingy looks damn close to MUFE #72. Closer to that than Electric Eel which was slightly more blue when I swatched them on my hand.

I would really like to side by side swatches of Crazy Cool, Beautiful Iris, Crystal, & Digit. And I am still debating Sassy Grass and Shock-a-holic. I tend to struggle with mattes, but of course some are easier to work with than others. I do love Lime and do not find it too difficult.

I'm calling the MAC fs tomorrow to see if they'll hold some things for me because again I just dont feel like going before work tomorrow. Not really wanting first to try and gauge my time so I get to work on time and two I dont feeling like showing up in my FedEx clothes

Oh and on the subject of piercings besides the traditional 80's 3 holes in each ear I have a vertical industrial in my one ear. I had wanted the common one but due to my ear being small it wouldnt work. I never felt pain like that before.....felt like a 18-wheeler went through my ear!!

I think I'll get Going Bananas, i'm feeling very brave

!
Sassy Green looks gorgeous but it's the type of green that don't really work on me, sadly.
Skip the glosses, i have too many and want tto try to use them before they turn bad.

Can't wait to swatch the lipglasses! I think Bold & Brash will look HOT over Viva Glam Cyndi!

If I go by the MAC store, I will swatch these and report back...

Sassy Grass was a must-have for me b/c it's matte. Humid's frost leaves me frustrated.

I decided against Shock-a-holic b/c I just bought MUFE's #92 and it's great.

For some reason I have a mental block when pairing shadows together nowadays. Maybe it's the heat. What do you ladies think I should pair with Sassy Grass? It can be bold or toned down. You can give me a specific Mac shade or a general color description. I really have no idea what I should do with it.

Hmm, I'm not really good with greens, but what about yellow/golds, corals, fuschia/pinks, blue/teal gradients...or green gradientsl, various purples...i'd just pull out a color wheel and go from there. hth

Hi, to tone down a green shadow I use a brown shade.
To give an idea even if it's totally different kind of green I pair Sweet & Punchy with Mulch and I love the outcome.
It's a neutral but with a kick.
Hope that helps

I've been wanting Plumage, too. I always put it off for some reason.
Hmm...

Well, my MAC order shipped and has already left MD. Still won't get it until Monday though

I hate that!

 

[Luiza_T]

I'm still thinking about Shock-a-holic... I wasn't impressed by it at the Pro store, but I'm afraid later I could regret not getting it.

I'm going to get Push the Edge pigment with VV collection though... Is shock-a-holic a must-have?

Same here! While we have to wait longer than just purchasing in store, we get the security of knowing that we are going to get what we want...I think the tradeoff is worth it in the end though!!

I am definitely going to check out Sassy Grass and perhaps Atl Blue tomorrow. Mattes aren't my favorite texture but the colors are awesome!!

Yes, I agree. It's just frustrating sometimes. I stayed up all night and put in my order the minute in went up and I won't get my stuff for a week????
