I agree.

But still... it looks so pretty in swatches.

Especially on Temptalia!

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

My official list is short and sweet: Oh So Fair bp, Revenge is Sweet lg, Strange Potion lg. Get on at 6:00 pm Monday, make my order, be done with the stress lol. Hopefully none of my items sell out! I'm going to be on exactly when the collection goes up so hopefully I won't have any problems.

Me too and I am now wondering this as well. Haha

I know, right? Temptalia's skintone is a bit lighter than mine but if I think it looks great on her, then it usually looks great on me. Her swatch looked so red and perfect to pair w/ Heartless but maybe I'm better off picking up another perm item anyway

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

Yesh, her skin is two (MAC) shades lighter than mine... not to mention my lips are more pigmented than hers... but maybe by pairing it over Heartless it would make the red stand out?

I'm still undecided lol.

Totally agree! I haven't seen VV in person yet, but from swatches it looks way more blue toned. Fig1 is a very red toned purple on me.

I talk about all kinds of random crap and somehow relate it to make-up...something's probably wrong with me.

i would do a very simple, elegant eye.

orb for the highlight, naked (or shroom or naked lunch) on the lid, a little cork in the crease, and a classic winged liner.

I don't have any of those colors.

I'll have to get them.

I'm just wondering, those of you that have it already, how are you using it? Over powder, or straight over foundation? And what kind of brush are you applying with? I'm thinking the 188 for cheekbone, or the 187 if I dare try it all over.

I dust it all over my face after I am done with all my make-up. The 187 brush gives the best cooling sensation for me as opposed to a kabuki.

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

I've been studying swatches for a minute and I think I'm going to buy Bad Fairy and Mean & Green. These are special lacquers, I think. I really love Formidable and I might as well have them all. So, I'm getting those 2 as well as Bite of an Apple. If I don't love Bite of an Apple, I am going to own all of you enablers, you hear?

Re: MAC - Venomous Villains discussion

This is probably showing my MAC age quite a bit, but every swatch I see of Heartless looks more and more like Culturebloom lipstick.
