MAC - MAC Me Over Discussion

[OctoberViolet]

Tx for all the swatches M0rg3nst3rn!!! I'm still interested in Prince Noir even though I had envisioned it swatching different. Loving the eyeshadows. Still on the fence about the quads. Carbonized is an amazing shade, but I think I have something similar to it.

Here are the swatches that I promised. SOrry that I didn't have any natural light pictures, I didn't make it home before sunset. Also, I apologize that these are not the best pictures but they are something, right? I am also sorry if I missed amy items that were requested. Oh and moleskin practically disappeared into my skintone...

I put a base under the Evil Eye Quad since the first swatches sucked but as you can see it still didn't help terribly much...

i cant figure out if i dare to wear smoked purple or prince noir....

 

[Mac-Guy]

I'm curious to learn if Creamy Bisque is any different from Nylon...

 

[naturallyfab]

I will be all over Carbonized like Hershey's Chocolate!!

haha me too!

Thanks for posting!

Ok Avenue F/L looks so freaking pretty in these swatches! And I'm not sure about Midnight Blues...it just seems kinda boring :/

 

[Mac-Guy]

... and the s/s looks soft and buttery too. I'm glad they changed the formula to something creamier.

Is Creamy Bisque like Blanc Type?

It looked a bit chalky in Karen's swatches, but I'm not sure if it's cuz of the lighting or the color settings on my computer screen.

I already have Blanc Type and it's chalky, but I also have Mac's other highlighters and they're not chalky.

Also, I'm not getting Carbonized, even though it's easily wearable and pairs well with many other colors cuz I have way too many brown eyeshadows already. =/

Still debating over Lady Grey quad.

I cannot wait to see Stunner IRL!

Creamy Bisque is not matte so it's not like BT. But that's weird your BT being chalky, I think it's one of the smoothest eyeshadows there is, so buttery and perfect.

Me neither!

I`m wondering if I put Guilt by association over blacktrack won`t I get Avenue fluidline? I think I might skip Avenue

 

[ahoythere]

Midnight Blues is looking just like Penned Fluidline from back in the day. But Avenue............

Yummers.

 

[Mac-Guy]

Although I am not a big fan of Avenue (too muddy for my taste), I can see it working well with any of the neutral single e/s that are featured in this collection. It is certainly an understated fluidline, but it goes well with the overall neutral theme.

Ok, so after reading all of these reviews and falling in love with too many freaking swatches, heres my list so far.
Lipsticks
Runway Red-MY DREAM RED LIPSTICK!!!!
Oh,Oh,Oh
Prince Noir-maybe, never tried a deep purple before but want to try some (I'm an NW15-NW20 btw)
Smoked Purple-when people say this is dry, is it dryer then Ruby Woo? I have this and with some lip balm I can get it to work pretty well.

Fluidline
All of them!!!!!!! But how much does Avenue compare to Blitz and Glitz (temptalia said it's similar14
Eyeshadows
Mythical- it's just so dang pretty and I don't have coppering so i really wanna grab this
Outre- Love this color (compleatly disagree with Temptalia!)
Moleskin- maybe.....It looks nice but it doesn't scream out to me. I'll swatch this myself before i buy.
Lady Grey quad- so pretty, but once again I'll swatch myself
Evil Eye quad- maybe...still wanna see more swatches and reviews.
All of the shade sticks- Never tried them before and they look really nice in the swatches. I know a lot of people are saying they are dry, but I'm gonna test these out myself and see how well I'm able to use them.

Blush
Equilibrium- so pretty and I have nothing like this

 

[m0rg3nst3rn]

You guys are welcome for the swatches. It was no problem at all.
I can take my Naked palette with me tomorrow and compare Carbonized to Darkhorse if you want. I can also swatch the fluidlines too. If you need any other swatches, please let me know and I will try to remember to do them.

 

[LiLBeautyBarbie]

So far my for sure list of items, I'm not sure about the quads yet and might add more lipsticks.

Oh, Oh, Oh Lipstick
MAC Social Light Lipglass

Carbonized Eyeshadow
Mythical Eyeshadow

Dark Diversion Fluidline
Avenue Fluidline

Stunner Blush

226 Brush

 

[OctoberViolet]

Great list!!! I would also like to know how dry the Smoked Purple lipstick is. I really want it, but not if it's not workable with a lip balm.

You are pale and can totally pull it off.
