MAC - To The Beach Discussion

[vintageroses]

I've been trying my best to avoid this thread because i've spend so much in both liberty of london & spring forecast! That i have to abstain from MAC till this collection! I'm doing good so far!

But my efforts has failed obviously since i'm posting here

Anyways! I really want the cream bronzer! Has MAC ever had anything like this before? I love using cream bronzers for contouring! I use Stilla & NARS bronzers now but it's running real low! So really timely! yays

& i really want lustre drops! Have never tried them!! Has anyone tried & love/hated it? Tell me all about it please!

& being a blush addict i will probably get a blush too!!

Take a big brush like the 134 or 150 (the 129 would be fine as well) and apply the bronzing powder lightly everywhere on your face, where the sun would naturally touch you: Forhead, nose and cheeks.

Let us know what you think! I've been trying to use some of my bronzers more lately, but I'm so fond of color on my cheeks. I'm trying to come up with some kind of an excuse to "need" things from this collection for some reason, so suddenly falling in love with bronzer could really help me out. I figure the more I use my old ones in the next couple months, the more I will need new ones in May.

the easiest way it so use it in the shape of a 3 on your face: forhead to temple, to cheekbone, to jawline. then whatever is left on your brush trace down the nose and chin.

yes the '3' method is what i do when i wear bronzer (which is rare). i'm sure they'd be tutorials on it on youtube as well which may help

You guys have such things as clearance bins at your Mac counters? :O Mac is so exclusive in Holland, that I've never seen anything with a discount at counters here... There is even a sign next to it: "Mac counter doesn't participate in any kind of special offers/warehouse discounts"

I so gonna go to a few stores in the UK, when I fly over this week, so can finally stock up on brushes, as they are muchos cheaper compared to prices here.

Shame London Luton doesn't have a Mac counter :/

I think she's referring to the Clearance Bin here on Specktra!! Mac doesn't have clearance bins in the US either...that's why we go to CCO's.

I was thinking about getting the darker luster drop to custom make my foundation for the summer. My winter shades are obviously gonna be too light in the middle of June say so it'll be nice match my foundation to my tan without having to buy more foundations.

has anyone tried mixing liquid bronzer with foundation? How did it turn out?

It's a good idea but I'm worried they might be too metallic for that? If not I'm totally doing it too!

I'm not a fan of liquid bronzer for some reason....i have no clue why I bought Sun Rush LOL

I've been using Benefit's Dallas blush as a bronzer and I love the colour but I noticed I'm have a really hard time blending it in. I don't understand why it ends up looking kind of splotchy on my cheeks. I've been using Ecotools bronzer brush and the retractable kabuki not all the way opened. So I don't get why it goes on the way it does. If anyone has a suggestion let me know!

Aaah... Got it now! I guess I was having my blonde moment this morning

I check that forum almost daily, so it's really silly of me not to make the connection straight away! I guess I am already in the store-buying mode for tomorrow
