MAC - MAC Me Over Discussion

[GlamQueen21]

^Carbonized is love!!! I used it with Sable and Gold Stroke mixed together on the lid, Twinks the crease, Carbonized in the outer V and Moleskin as highlight!

 

[katred]

that gloss was on my list to begin with but i skipped because i felt that it wasn't special enough.... maybe i should take another look at swatches! although that said i do have far too many glosses already! argh!
 
MAC Semi Precious Pearl - todays specktra blog post

I have more glosses and lipsticks than anyone needs (I can't even remember the last time I actually finished one), but strangely, I didn't have anything that compared with this. I don't know that it's unique, but I really do like how it looks on my lips. Plum Fun is still my favourite, though...

snatching up moleskin as a highlighter under the brow...the MA at the MAC i frequent used soft brown on me because she was out of moleskin but told me if i can get my hands on moleskin to do so expeditiously if not sooner (her words!)

I use Soft Brown so I didn't think I needed Moleskin but the last few times I used it I thought maybe I could use a lighter color so maybe I can get Moleskin now.

Ok I am SO late to get on the Mythincal bandwagon...but I am just now considering it. Can someone please tell me why I need it if I have Star Violet????? They seem like they might be wayyy to close to need both.....

But I am all ears!

 

[ahoythere]

LOL Richelle....
honestly I think they are amazing, and seriously cut down on the fuss when you need a good base in a fraction of the time that it takes to apply a PP.

You...Neeed....theeeese.....

I wish I hadn't read this.

I grabbed a Prince Noir lipstick yesterday. I am glad I waited because it was sold out almost everywhere in my area, so it feels truly meant to be. This color fills a void in my collection. I have similar colors, but not quite PN. I love that its a matte, but not super drying like other MAC mattes. I love that its a little more purple than Sin.

I used Carbonized for the firts time today, don't really know what took me so long. I had Satin Taupe od lid, Carbonized on crease and Brulè on browbone. It looked amazing

I'm having troubles with my stunner blush, I almost feel like I need to scrap the top off it because the pigmentation is really lacking.... I'm not getting alot of colour pay off.... Is any one else experiencing this?

Have you only used a freshly cleaned brush to apply it?

If you test it with your fingers or go in with a brush that has been previously use, there's probably a slight (invisible) oil film on it, which makes it hard for you to pick up product. And yes, just one finger swatch is enough to impair a blush (or an e/s).

I'm not suggesting that you did this, but if so, I would tediously clean the surface with a beauty product cleaner and then start from fresh. It's a great color and I hope you will enjoy it.

it is! i swatched with my finger (clean one) my on a mission blush and had to then scrape off a layer from it because from some reason the blush got a weird texture to it with no payoff! i literally sanitized my hands and then did it so not sure what happened - but now i never finger my makeup!

Yes, it's scary how easily a finger can spoil a product. What also happens in stores quite often is that people use a MAC wipe to clean their fingers and then go into the product. This will leave immediately a oily film on the surface and the product will not swatch at all or patchy at the best.

I know lol. I use all 10 fingers then wipe lol i look lie an idiot. An idiot with colorful finger tips
