MAC Strength Collection Discussion (December 2012)

[Void]

So I went to Mac today and the MUA didn't have a clue about the lipsticks
They don't have the line at all there

So I'm still debating the All Woman quad. I have plans to get the Chanel Prelude quad. It's full of grey tones as well. I'm getting Prelude for sure, but I'm wondering if All Woman would still be necessary to my stash. Any suggestions?

Or I may take my chances and wait for it to arrive at a CCO.

awww man... they do seem close, but on others pics they look similiar. can you take the Chanel quad to Mac to compare?

Please recommend lip liners for: Party parrot, piPi, absolute power and SW

Party Parrot - NYX Plush Red, MAC Lasting Sensation

Pink Pigeon - MAC Embrace Me/NYX Pinky, NYX Hot Pink, MAC Beet

Absolute Power - MAC Cherry/NYX Hot Red, NYX Deep Red

Strong Woman - MAC Currant/NYX Currant, MAC Vino/NYX Plum, MAC Nightmoth/NYX Y2K, MAC Magenta/NYX Purple Rain, NYX Prune, NYX Deep Purple


There's a ton of other options. You can also mix and match for fun, like using a purple liner with Absolute Power.

Here's another with Party Parrot lined with MUFE 16C lip liner. I paired it with Passionately Tempted and Unconventional blushes from the Taste Temptations collection.

AP is very beautiful on you, ForeverJenn

So I finally played around with my absolute power today




It was a bit shocking to me to see how much darker this lipstick looks in the tube then when applied on the lips..


Here it is applied once (indoor picture)




Here's a full face picture, just so you can see it better.

I recall that you wear lashes. Maybe you can add these to your NYE look to set off the gold eye shadow. They're lashes with Swarovski crystal accents. I don't wear lashes, but I'd probably wear these for NYE if I did.

Those lashes are pretty amazing but a bit daring for me. I've been breaking out of so many boxes lately that my husband is questioning my stability.

If I were to emerge in those he might have me committed. I'll have to gradually work up to them.

You're inclined to backup products, so instead of backing up either of these just get one of each. If you're really trying to narrow it down then go with the formula that you like best, especially if the colors are similar. Since you have experience with both formulas the choice can be based on that particular preference.

Prelude is amazing, I adore it!

 

[ForeverJenn]

I can only hope that one day I'll acquire your makeup skills

Sculpt the best cool-toned taupe contour shade


I like Bone Beige for daytime, Sculpt for a more dramatic day or evening, and Shadowy for a dramatic contour.

I really want to try Sculpt but my nearest pro store isn't near enough and pro products aren't yet sold online here in NL.

I just googled swatches for Bone Beige and Shadowy. OMG! Shadowy in particular looks amazing!

I'll definitely need add these three shades to my list the next time I get a CP from the States.

Thank you for the suggestions peeps!

MAC is taking forever to deliver my stuff. I feel like the last person to get mine.

I am going to a holiday party for work tonight, and I am debating on what to do makeup wise...should I do a bold lip or something really intense with my eyes?? I have recently acquired so many awesome bright lipsticks so I am inclined to just focus on my lips, but I am also thinking holiday makeup is about the eyes (the more glittery the better...LOL). I am a makeup artist, so everyone there will have their faces BEAT!!

Looking fab TheLadyDanger!
Hope you had a happy birthday, Naynaydine!

We had dinner at home last night and we're going out for dinner tonight. I even rented a fabulous dress from RentTheRunway. Now just need to decide what new lipstick to wear.

Thank you!!! You're so sweet for remembering it. Hope you had a great one as well! The dress sounds awesome.
