MAC Magnetic Nude Collection (December 26, 2013)

[Dolly Snow]

Would anyone describe AT DUSK as a nude pink blush? I know the description is a dirty cool pink, just wondering.

I was super excited about this collection at first when I heard the name but I see I won't be getting much. I was expecting more shades of nude lippies. Like a taupe nude.

I will def be dropping some Christmas mula on a few of the blushes & maybe a edsf. Superb is still my top 2 fave highlights!!!

Thanks, Liba!

I was about to cross it off my list, but if you say go for it, it's staying on my list.

OK, narrowed it down but could use some suggestions/advice...

EDSF in Fairly Precious....I'm an NW15(but actually my skin leans very neutral), would this work? I already own Superb and WoG, do I need it?
Morning Rose....same question...I actually own very few nude/light pink lipsticks.
Steel Kiss LG
It's Physical FL (maybe our secret)

The blushes don't seem unique and I have enough similar to them, same with most of the other lipsticks and the eyeshadows...way too expensive.

EEEKK! I feel like I want all the lipglosses and the lipsticks and the fluidlines ... I think I have it bad for this collection. And I never like nude collections. But oh my...

It's definitely cooler toned pink and it's more of a nude color. The closest thing I could come up with is if you take a swipe of creme cup lipstick and blend it into your skin a bit... that's kind of what At Dusk looks like. Creme cup is a tiny bit warmer in tone, but it's the closest thing I could find. I'm an NW13 and it's a beautiful natural shade flush shade for me.

Muse has a gorgeous swatch of Silver Dawn:

I am definitely getting Silver Dawn (as much as I hate the price/size

).

At Dusk, Silver Dawn and It's Physical are my definites.
I keep going back and forth on MA + FP edsf's, PM edb, AmoAlloy edes and Our Secret f/l.
Do I REALLY need FP if I have Shell Pearl? They look different in swatches but quite similar on face.

Argh - decisions, decisions.

I wonder how Our Secret fluidline compares to Eclair paintpot... if there is any chance that they look similar, even from afar, I can cross Our secret from my list ! Yay to "Close Enough-Low Buy" attitude !

I was wondering that!! Erine, can you shed any light on this?

Definitely. Eclair had that red base to it, which OS has. If you have Eclair already, save yourself some money!

My MAC chat this am. Amelia: [COLOR=FF0000]Hello, I was wondering when will the Punk Couture and Magnetic Nude collections be launched[/COLOR] Jara: They are scheduled to launch on December 26th in stores. Jara: We generally launch 2 days earlier online. Amelia: [COLOR=FF0000]oh that is great to hear. will pro discount be available for these collections?[/COLOR] Jara: Punk Couture is eligible. Magnetic Nude is not. Amelia: [COLOR=FF0000]Do you know why Magnetic Nude isn't?[/COLOR] Jara: I apologize, as a makeup artist, I'm not sure why some collections are and some aren't. Perhaps it is an availability issues? Jara: Feel free to write the department below to inquire: Jara: [COLOR=0066CC][email protected][/COLOR]

MAC chat rarely knows what they're talking about. All of my info says pro discount applies, and seeing as there's no collaboration and no special packaging, pro discount will apply.

So was the info wrong no launch today? 

There was no information saying that this would launch today.

I will need to add Silver Dawn EDES to my list now. That EDES looks gorgeous!!

PM is nothing at all like Fresh Honey. It's like a cross between Amber Glow and Alpine Bronze, with the EDB texture.  Hmmm….it's not like LBB, which feels chunky on me and is so transparent. It goes on smooth for me, without tugging and with plenty of opacity. I'm having a tough time comparing it to other fls I have, it almost feels like a cross between a fl like S&S from Divine Night and a paint pot like Genuine Treasure (but without the grit-sized sparkle). You really see the duochrome effect. It's just beautiful - and unique! It's soft and subtle too, like the rest of the collection. It's for smudging under the eyes, sweeping a touch across the lids, and so on. I think it'll look great on you and won't be irritating. That was me! Steel Kiss is very grey. It gives an effect sort of like using a very pale, transparent black gloss - which is to say, it slightly deepens the color and adds depth but cuts brightness. It's also got the pearl in it, so that adds lustre and volume. If black lipgloss is too weird for you, Steel Kiss will do a softer version of that for any lipstick worn underneath. Morning Rose, since you know how people hog it up with MAC lipsticks. For you, MR miiiiight run a bit too grey to be your perfect color. I'd wait for Out For Passion Huggable.

Liba, Thank you so much for replying. You ae such a doll! I'll throw in a picture of myself so you can see my skin tone. Tell me what you think BTW, I love mixing several lip colors together to make it just right. I find that to be a lot of fun. Heaven knows, I have more than enough lipstck to play with.

Ugh. I'm not going to buy because of the price/size, but SD is so nice. I'm sure i can find something similar..

 

[KrystalAnne]

Okay, Erine, I never ask for your advice regarding what I should get…BUT do you think I should go for either of the new blushes? I was thinking Autoerotique…but now I'm wondering if I should even get that one? I'm contemplating skipping the blushes. I'm pretty light & neutral (I guess) -- I don't know what shade of foundation I am in MAC anymore. NC/NW15 are a bit too light for me now. I'm feeling (for once) that maybe these blushes aren't MUST HAVES…I'm trying to not buy too much.

Thanks in advance.

If anyone is planning to order At Dusk Belks has it right now along with some other edbs. I just got mine in the mail!

I finally got to see the stufffff!!!! So my last reviews on these is Autoerotique: pretty but did not sold me on it. Basically It looked like when my rosacea acts up. (Imagine that) and yea it's closer to a real blush color on me but too close to a skin condition so I panicked and erased from my list. I'll take pics as soon as I get home cause the phone isdying. Superb: amazing. The rose gold I always wanted. I wanna be covered in this stuff. Preordered. (Macys flushing, queens. For NYC spectrans) Fairly precious: it's a cutesy pink with enough sheen to convince me i could be cute again even though I'm a sassy new redhead. It swatched beautiful on my nc30 skin thank you @erine1881 for the recommendation. Pleasure model: way similar to Rihanna's blush. But actually prettier. I passed on it cause i already have stuff I can frankenblush this. But it is very pretty. I didn't care for the rest of the stuff. Magnetic appeal looked too much like the shimmery bronze I already found in double definition.... Again, I'll pick up my stuff on release day happy days and no more Mac for me for a while!!!!

Oh FP sounds amazing. Would you know of anything similar?

 

[BuickMackane]

I was looking forward to Sensual Sparks but, having seen swatches, I'm disappointed. I was hoping for something a bit darker. My current list: - Fairly precious - Autoerotique (not sure as I have Nars Daydream. I'll probably skip it) - Carnal instinct - Silver dawn - Amorous alloy - Sweet heat (should have got it at the original release grr. Stupid small pan!) - Magnetic appeal (still undecided about this one. I dunno if it'll work for me) ^ This is why I'm staying away from the Low Buy thread

 

[DeeDee2013]

I'm not sure how these items will translate on NC45 skin. My preliminary list:

MSF: Superb, Magnetic Appeal
LG: Hell Bound
ES: Amorous Alloy
Blush: Pleasure Model (might pull too orange for my skin), Autoretique
