MAC - Style Black Discussion

[captodometer]

Keep posting, everybody: you're killing my lemmings

Initially, I was going to buy at least one of everything in the collection. Now I'm down to:

3 MES(skipping the gold one)
both mattenes
both CCB's
Baby Goth Girl (will try the China Glaze dupe for Seriously Hip)
the black lipgloss

I have enough empties to B2M for 3 items. I'll only end up spending $100

 

[Winthrop44]

I'm only planning on
Bling Black
Blackfire
Baby Goth Girl
Bat Black

I hope that the MES doesn't sold out because I only can afford 1,

,but like my 7 year old son says,"one is better than nothing"lol.

The nice thing about MES is they're pretty big, so you get quite a bit of use out of them. Which one are you planning on getting?

They work almost identical to the paintpots...same container almost the same texture IMO....However the only three that are eyesafe are Black Black, Ultra Marine (Blue) and the White. However I use all the colors as a base just not on my waterline

I like the one with gold,or the one with purple,hehe.

I don't know,is very difficult to choose only one .

 

[TISH1124]

yeah My top favs are the Silver and Gold ...then Young Punk is a close 2-3rd...I can live without the Blue only because I have soooooo much blue

Well I'm NC15 so it's not the color.. it was just not as smooth as the other, I had to swatch it like 2-3 times to get the same awesome effect as the others.

Yeah I second that, I got all Chromaline and they are like... perfect pure color paint pot.. even better cause they are smudge and water proof.

Can't wait to see the 2 new ones..

This is one of the reasons I am so stuck on the Gilt by Association Gold MES...I love this look and think it could be easily achieved with that MES

 

[Face2Mac]

What about Antique gold p/g over a blackbase?

I do love RiRi makeup. some of the best especially lips.

Listen huuurrr I want the Gold MES...lets get back on the same page...don't be interferring with my justification for that MES....

And...I don't have Antique Gold pigment

It's 50 cent more

 

[Face2Mac]

lol.

trying to help you out and and Antique gold is coming out with the pigments sets that you are not getting, so I guess you are right.




whispers**damn, yall, she took my neck off. never trying to save DH money again.

 

[TISH1124]

I never hardly ever buy pigments I have a few staples...But that is one avenue I have not ventured down much....Thank Goodness because there are TONS of them and I would want them all..I only have about 20-25

 

[Face2Mac]

only 20-25. yeah, that's not a whole lot.

 

[eyeshadowinrain]

I want to see the facecharts for this collection soooo bad!!!!

 

[TISH1124]

Most people on here have over 100...I only have ones I have grabbed at the CCO...I didn't think that was a lot

 

[Face2Mac]

I have 10-12 full-size and 1/2 tsp. samples of the rest about 50-60. I like samples better, I will never used that much full-size ones but for Mutiny, Heritage Rouge and Antiqued Green, I make rare exceptions.

Would Erin shoot me If I ask if the greasepaint are waterline safe? I think someone posted the answer but have forgot.

I think you need the gold MES cause it will look awesome on you, BUT, if you want that look you wont achieve it with that.. you'll need Reflects Antique Gold IMO. The MES is too opaque to do that.

Can't wait to play with these MES.... (Never thought I would say that about a MES ever again... )
