My guess is that you're probably over applying a bit, based on what you're saying about them being so dark (as well as patchy). The color on these doesn't get super dark unless you're putting a lot on. I wouldn't use a lip brush except to touch up the edges - I find using a brush with these causes drags and patches, even if you're trying to be careful.

Just do a light layer on the lower lip first. Don't worry if it's patchy. Then do the upper lip with a normal layer and a light hand, going deep into the underside of the lip. By the time you're done with that, the lower lip will be set up, so do another layer on top to smooth it all out well but don't worry if some spots seem a little uneven. What happens is in a minute or so, after it fuses with your skin from the heat of your body, it will automatically smooth out some more.

Don't do the lip smoosh to blend with these and wait a good while before blotting too. Dark colors take longer to dry and set up on the lips just in general, although these are SO much better than most dark purple lipsticks.
I'm going to try this as well. When I apply Instigator and PC they come out so dark and patchy even after exfoliating my lips. I may applied too much with my heavy hands lol . Thanks for these pointers

I'm not new here technically, but been afraid to post.. lol..not sure why.

looking forward to this collection...i have never worn dark lipsticks before in my life, and when I first wore it, (Riri Woo) my husband loved it!
So now...i've crossed over to the dark side...

Great tips liba! ;)
 
After a LOT of checking the counters at said dates, calling customer service last week, that said the collection should be released the 8th.. mac online released it the 7th! Sold out quick. Went to the counter yet again today and delivery was late. Called MAC customer services AGAIN and the same person confident said they released it and was supposed to release it the 7th.... >.<. Then I turned to another online company that sells MAC here in Sweden and she said the delivery was late but they where going to put it out ASAP but not until at least end of week friday/saturday. I was checking the site and suddenly the 3 collections one by one came out. By then I was so angry and tired with the MAC people I just throwed 2 Hautcore in the casket and a BU of Rihanna blush a Superb and checked out. At least that online store services was nice on the phone :).

And the MAC customer services was supposed to have updated by mail.............. nothing ;(

At least I got what I needed. Never again!
