[MAC_Whore]

Place all your Grand Duos swatches and product photographs in this thread - please ensure that your images are clear, in focus and as colour-accurate as possible! For the sake of clarity, I ask that official product images and swatches (those that you would find on a mailer postcard, sourced from MAC or posted on the official MAC website) are not posted in this thread.

Please remember that Specktra has a posting guideline that all posted images be no wider than 640 pixels or higher than 800 pixels - if your image is any larger than that, please make a text link to the image instead.

• This thread is for pictures only - please keep all chatter and questions within the Grand Duo discussion thread.
• For official product images, release dates and other information, please refer to the Grando Duo colour story thread.

UPDATED WITH MY PERSONAL SWATCHES OF THE GRAND DUO SWATCHES I BOUGHT

and more

more swatches

ok my very last swatch. Hope this helps! thanks.... hot planet may look similar in the pan to gentle
but it is in NO WAY similar to gentle when swatched. it's more coral/ peachy than gentle

As the following are very big, i've posted links to them instead of adding the img tags to them instead.. so sorry about it!!

Some comparison swatches

Love Rock (part with veins) is cooler and a bit lighter than Gentle and (Love Rock mono side) more pigmented, darker and also cooler than Pleasantry.

Moon River (veins) is basicly the same shade as Lightscapade, while Porcelain Pink is more of a peach (than Moon River mono).
