MAC Punk Couture Collection (December 26, 2013)

There's a noticable difference between the two on me. It all depends on your body chemistry and the pigmentation in your lips.

There is a huge difference on my lips. Ruby woo pulls orange on me for some reason and Riri woo is a true red. Which is why I have 3.

i agree!! we do have same colors in the same family, before i fell in love with make up if i saw someone with so many red lipsticks i would think they are crazy and they are all dupes, only we lovers see the little subtle difference.

i hate the lip erase under lipstick as it always gets in the way of the lipstick color i personally prefer concealer

yeah I normally don't use anything because im super fair. but the times I have, I've used concealer

one of my favorite mua's on instagram uses her plw concealer

It has a place but it is thick and drying IMO.

I just remembered I have Lip Erase!

I used it once or twice when I first bought it, but soon forgot about it.

A quick question to those of you who own Lip Erase - do you use it over or under P&P lip? Or is it better off worn on its own? I would like to give Lip Erase another shot but I don't want to sacrifice my beloved P&P lip either.

Over Prep and Prime. :2cents:

You can't wear anything under P&P, otherwise it won't work.

Mac also has "lip erase" that you can put on before your lipstick and it will help with your lipsticks not going on so dark! @SavannahLovely

Ack.. do not recommend the lip erase. It is one of the worst products produced by MAC. Just use your foundation or concealer. Save yourself the $

Yeah I've heard pro longer is a good one for lip priming Have you tried prep and prime lip btw? Wondering if its worth it

 

[User38]

Sam yes, I have tried it too many times -- it does not work. Prep and prime is much better but it will not lighten the original colour of the lip for that use your foundation/concealer. Faster, easier -- less products less fuss

I don't like PC on me :-( I love instigator but PC its so black grape I CNT fig out how to wear it. I like dark lips but PC is not flattering on me.. Everyone looks so pretty in there pictures.

i had the same problem. PC pulled too blue on me so i topped it with maybelline fuchsia flash in the center. and instigator was too dark almost blackened burgundy so i added revlon berry haute on top. Eventually i want to get a lavender lipstick to mix but im trying maybelline pink pop next.

I didn't think to try a pink lipstick on top that sounds like a good idea

 

[PradaCandy]

Try a plum lip pencil

I did I tried NYX #827 in Never it didn't change the color.. but it works nice with instagter

When I was checking out the riri collection , found that 3 lipsticks are available in N for back order (sorry if someone mentioned it already)

I didn't get lipstick from this collection , they appear too dark for my taste, but found out this is a good idea to do it . From someone's facebook, according to her, she rubbed the punk couture just to get a stain, it looks great on her..

Besides different liners, sometimes you don't even need to change liners and just need to change up your blush color instead. You may need to use a blush that has a little less obvious peach or pink and go for a very neutral nude color instead. If it has a bit of a greyed out, softened and "dirty" or shaded effect, it will create a more neutral backdrop for these very strong colors.

Same thing with the eye makeup. Your standard nude shadow might be the wrong shade to combine with these. Personally, I can't wear any of my usual cream colors or a lot of my other nude colors with PC…they're not gold, but they wind up pulling more gold, because PC is so cool in comparison. I've opted for greyed out icy mauves, barely pink neutrals and purpley taupes with PC and when the whole look is on my face, it still looks like I'm wearing a neutral eye, because of the entire color balance.

You'll make it work!!!

I just got the naked 3 ill have to try it with that . someone else said to mix it with a pink lm gonna try everyones ideas thanks

 

[keridabeenfabb]

will nyx purple rain pair well with PC?? im looking to brighten it just a little...some days its pullin as dark instigator for me. PC is still my favorite of the two
