MAC - MAC Me Over Discussion

Im thinking Carbonized will look more like urban decays Dark horse

Agreed! From the description, I don't anticipate to be wowed, but that probably won't stop me to buy it as it is the only darker color in the single pans. I need to fill a quad, lol

You can compare temptalia's swatch of Russian Red from wonder woman with her Runaway Red swatch. Russian Red seems a lot brighter.

Thank you. I was just coming back to post that I did the comparison and Runaway Red is more of a blue based red compared to Russian Red which is on the orange side. Russian Red has a slight orange tint on me and I'm looking for a cool, blue based red. Runaway Red may be what I'm looking for.

A natural quad would be nice!! I was thinking about outre, moleskin, carbonized...and nothing more now XD but I don't want a dark horse dupe...we will see!

Tx Pinkdollface. That's a good recommendation. I need to invest in prep & prime.

Oh i'm so on the fence with prince nior. It's different from what I expected. I might get Dark Diversion
but how would I use it? I think it would be a pretty base but i dunno what else i'd use it for. Anyone have any ideas?

My quad will be creamy bisque, moleskin, carbonized, mythical.

So far I only want the quads (probably will only get one), ohohoh l/s, and runway red l/s. I really like the dark purple lippie, but I know that there is no way that I could pull that off. I am much too fair.

 

[luvlydee]

I wish i could have money to spend on stuff but i need to relax since i have a ton of shadows and none have dents in it!! lol I'd rather spend my money on something that's different and that i don't have anything similar to. So Im really hoping it looks like dark horse -_- lol

I'm really hoping it looks like dark horse as well!
I don't own the naked palette and it's one of the shades I really love, so here's hoping it looks like it.

 

[Mac-Guy]

Isn't Dark Horse quite bronze-y? I don't expect Carbonized to be bronze-y at all, but more a true carbon shimmer.

 

[luvlydee]

^ idk. i dont find it bronze-y on myself anyways. maybe because i have dark eyelids? who knows. lol I just dont want mac to tempt me anymore lol even if it ends up not looking like darkhorse i will try my best to convince myself it does lmao!

(but in reality if i put the swatches side by side and its really different, I will end up buying carbonized -_- i just love veluxe pearls)

 

[luvlydee]

i took off moleskin off mylist because idk how it will do on my lids. i think it still might be too light. I ordered the double feature 4 instead, cuz ive seen it in person and the brown looks closer to my skin tone. I just wish it didnt have that green as part of it because Im not a green person when it comes to makeup.

moleskin looks great but very similar to urban decay naked. i shall skip because i don't reach for naked that much so i know i won't get enough use out of moleskin

thats another thing, i have naked in the naked palette and it just makes my lids look ashy :-\ Temptalia says that moleskin is warmer but I dont think its enough of a difference so its an easy skip!

 

[Busttamuv3]

I cannot wait to see a swatch of Carbonized eyeshadow. I have been on the hunt for a dark chocolate brown eyeshadow with veluxe pearl type of finish.

 

[xasperadastra]

uhm dark horse is not a bronze mmm well it's a cool medium dark brown... I should post my swatch of it!

 

[PinkBasset]

When do we get that shiny, metallic pure deep black eyeshadow? I need it! Like right now! I won't stop this whining until we get it.

I stopped by our counter today. We don't get any collections in August here, but four in September!
