MAC Give me Liberty of London Discussion

[PinkBasset]

I think I have a problem with Dame's Desire. It looses its vibrancy after awhile and just fades from being hot and intense towards a duller violet! I don't know why because I've never had this problem with any eyeshadow (even back in the days when I didn't use primers/bases).

I love the colour, I am so glad I didn't skip it, but I want it to look as vibrant as it is at first all day. I have tried it with a primer and on top of violet base. Have any on you had the same problem? What should I do next with it?

I did a look with Dirty GPS and Bough Grey on top of Dirty. It was so sparkly and shimmery, I was surprised but pleased with the result. When I use BG on crease it doesn't show the shimmer but when I pat it on the lid with something sticky under it makes the shimmer pop. It was so pretty with all the colours reflecting.

I have the same problem with some pigments and the only thing that really works for me is using a very sticky base like the ArtDeco base or a CCB. Shadestick and Paint Pots are not sticky enough on me for pigments

Blooming lovelies - Do you find that BL makes your teeth look yellow or am I just being paranoid? (by the way I do have white teeth but I feel the lipstick makes them look a bit cream-coloured!)

Perhaps try a brighter base? I don't mean a base of the same color. I have used mine over Rubenesque p/p and it was vibrant enough!

I wore Bough Grey today for the first time (on the lid) and WOW, it makes my brown peepers appear hazel like!

I just found out that my MAC counter still has 2 Ever Hip lipsticks left. I'm NC35 but i'm concerned that it's not pigmented enough for me, because some people says it's too sheer. Please tell me if i should get it or not? I don't want to buy it just because of the hype, not to mention i have to drive about 30 mins there. But i don't want to miss out either

Any NC35 ladies with pigmented lips love it?

Thank you too for helping me!

I shall try it over pure white paintstick and see if that helps and if its sticky enough.

I'm a NC35 here and have pigmented lips. I've been using Ever Hip everyday since I got mine on Sunday!

I really love this colour, it's wearable and perfect for everyday looks. I think I'm gonna get a backup for this one.

i do think that blooming lovely does make teeth look a little dingy.. but to me, it is not bad enough to stop wearing it.

 

[InspiredBlue]

I thought about the whole blue tones make teeth look yellow thing before I got BL, and I realized I rarely show my teeth anyway, so I don't care.

That's what I think too so it doesn't matter much.

Monica, you are making me want BG! I wish I bought BG instead of B&B.

 

[GlamQueen21]

capmorlovesmac: That look sounds gorgeous!! I have been searching high and low for Waternymph e/s and I do want it! I have been on a teal kick lately! Also, I have finally got my hands on Parrot e/s!!! I thought of Susanne right away when I recieved it!

 

[Nzsallyb]

So much for skipping this collection! i picked up peachstock l/s (love!), frankly fresh l/g (MLBB shade on me), and prim and proper blush. very practical picks, i will def use them alot

 

[Miss QQ]

There's no way we can skip this collection. It is my favourite this year, so far! Enjoy your goodies!

I really love everything I bought.
Last Friday, I went to my counter to check Pret-A-Papier collection. While MA was going through each drawers for Instant Chic and Tissueweight, I saw one drawer still had lots of GMLOL items!

I stayed strong, and didn't ask her anything.
