Do you always use fix + or water is enough? Will it damage the MES after sometimes if you use them wet all the time?

This makes me happy!

I was hoping this one would work on light skin tones for contouring and sculpting like you said. Awesome

You can use a simple eye drop to wet your brush, like visine.

A tip a MAC artist gave me is when you wet your brush for shadows, wet the brush then get your color from the sides of the eyeshadow pan, and not the middle. this will keep the middle of the shadow pan free of any mediums you use. one of the best tips ever! i do it often.

Sure can:

These are the swatches for She Who Dares, the pic does not do that green side justice..it is a gorgeous multi faceted green!

Well I decided to use this observation to my advantage, and try de-scenting a lipstick of my own. It turns out it doesn’t take too long to get rid of the scent — a day, maybe two. You don’t even have to twist the lipstick up; just leave the cap off."

Thanks; I'll try this!
If only I could stop seeing my microbiology professor in my brain, talking about the "constant gentle rain of micro-organisms" that falls everywhere.

Oh, well; what's an immune system for?

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).

Oh So Fair looks like a blush on my NW 20 skin, very natural, I love it! As far as the SWD's v.s BF...I actually tried one on each eye last night, they are literally identical, any variation would be due to the "swirled" effect of the product IMO

I didn't just read that. No, I did not.

I just got a VV invite in my e-mail. I feel special. This has been the longest wait ever.

I was looking at swatches and I was wondering to myself if I really need Strange Potion. Sometimes those colors disappear on my dark lips. I wanted it to sorta help with Toxic Tale b/c TT is a Satan and I find them drying and they settle into my lip lines. I don't know. I hope it looks good on it's own b/c I'm not big on lip combos.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I just got an e-mail invite too...So call your local MAC stores! I am so bummed that it's on Sept. 21, which is the same night that I have a test at the same time as the preview 7 to 9PM. I guess no taking pictures with Maleficient...

I think I deserve a haul right? Cuz I'm missing all the fun? hehe.

My list is still:
BoA blush
BR bp
Innocence Beware l/s (maybe, really into the nudes)
Anything else I need?

Thank you so much Sushi~Flower!!! Both colors are making me very happy!

Also glad to hear that you like OSF as a blush.

I'm thinking Strange Potion would look good on you. Plus, I hear it's unique to Mac's perm shades.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I got an email invite too & called to rsvp for me and my sister (who doesn't know I'm making her go with me yet). I'm pretty excited because I didn't think I was going to be attending a preview

Why oh why there isn't a MES with just that green? Or even if the green part were the bigger part! How did you make it look so good? I mean it looks totally different, so vibrant and gorgeous, I love it!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I would not be surprised if the MES was less quantity than the style black ones and were made bigger to give the illusion there's more.

I wish I could see a swatch of heartless vs port red vs MAC red. Oh well, one more week!

I am really excited about the cooling powder, I had a cooling cleanser and I loved using it in the morning.

Yeah the green part looks so sexy! I apply my the MES with my finger wet and I get no fall out. For some reason, I like applying make-up with my (clean) fingers lately.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

She Who Dares look SO pretty!

It makes me want to add it to my list...

I'm now having second thoughts about Vainglorious.
I guess I'll have to wait to swatch it to be sure about it.

I am with you sister. That green should be available as a whole MES. MAC are you listening?

TY for the swatchie!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Okay, for all of you going to a VV Preview on the 21st, I'm excited for you and can't wait to see your pics from the event! My counter will set the products out to look at today but, they will not be doing an event. I was not surprised when she told me that but, it would have been nice. I have never been to a collection event. I don't think they have had one since Hello Kitty.
