Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Bite of an Apple looks so different every time I see it. I keep putting it on and taking it off my list. I can't decided if I want it or not. I love it in the swatch from HerGreyness, but in some other swatches it kind of looks dirty. Is it really bright?

I'm still worried My Dark Magic will only look gorgeous when it's used wet (and that it'll give me a bruised look but I'll have to try it on). I'm getting more excited about Briar Rose. I love my shimmery summer blushes but I was hoping the BPs would be less shimmery with subtle sheen. Yay!

I swatched the the 3 things I received :

Here is Oh so Fair (left) and Shell Pink (right)

Shell Pink (left) Oh So Fair (right)

Blue Flame is the top and She who Dares*blue* is the bottom, I honestly can not tell the difference * dry, no base* NW 20

This is She Who Dares next to Blue Flame

I swatched a few well known reds next to Heartless from left to right, Ruby Woo, Russian Red and Heartless.

Hope this helps some of you who don't have a store nearby

Thanks so much!!! I am totally loving the look of OSF and SWD.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Thanks for the swatches Sushi~Flower!

Can you use Oh so Fair as a blush? It's so pretty!

Holy cow She Who Dares is huuuuuge! I knew the new package was bigger but didn't realize until now it's That Big. Pigmentation seems great and that's a gorgeous blue. The only difference I can find between them is you can see the black base better on SWD than on BF (at least on my screen).

Thank you so much, Sushi~Flower! It really helps! She who Dares is beautiful! My list keeps growing, and I feel helpless.

Sushi~Flower, how do you like the green part of She who Dares? Is it possible if we can see the swatch of it? TIA!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

When I went to MAC yesterday the MUA I used to see all the time told me she's so excited for this collex and she asked if I was. I said no I wasnt planning on getting anything. She looked surprised and said "not even the mineralized e/s?" I was like no....I never thought much of them but never really tried them. Again she seemed surprised. Now that I think about it I had Two to Glow which was my first purchase from MAC and it barely showed up on me so maybe that's why I never thought much of them? SHe told me they were having an event but I think she just means the make-over dealio for free so I said I'd probably stop in at least. She then said she LOVED the new cooling powder and was going to be buying that along with the shadows. I guess I'll go take a look at the photos again of the items.

Oh ....I wanted to ask what's the difference between the "blue flames" I've seen. I swear I saw it in a regular e/s at the CCO then saw it as that Metal e/s and now I hear it was in a mineralized one too?

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I went back and looked at some swatches and I forgot that I had wanted to try Violetta but not sure if it would work with my skintone. Also the e/s do look pretty but have I read that some people say mineralized one's werent as good as regular ones?

I'm even thinking about Her Own Devices... I like the idea of a neutral powder, although this one looks like it might be a little dark/ brown for me. I'll see when I swatch in person.

ty ty.. I feel this avatar suits my personality more than that of a great looking model

... as to your dilemma: I have used HOD as a bit of a face sculpter since it is darker but not too grey on me, and then do my cheeks with OSF on top of HOD.. I like the look...minimally sculpted with a bit of a pink flush.

I am NC20 now.. and range between NC15-20. HTH

I like mineralized ES but I use them wet cause I do get fallout -- that said, once applied, they look amazing and wear really well

I think Violetta works well on most skin tones.. it is one of those uniques which one should have to either wear alone, or to change other shades

you should def test the powder -- it makes skin look like satin silk

Do you also get fallout if you use UDPP, Paint Pot or some other creamy base?
