I don't know if this is the same as the other topic what mac e/s to avoid...but sometimes i try e/s that are much raved about on MUA and other people and i find that it doesn't suit me at all. Pls list those M.A.C e/s that are much raved by people but which u don't like/hate or is/are not suitable for u.

fOR me it has to be:
1. Club e/s (I'm sorry girls...but this color just doesn't work for me), i think it has to do with my skintone....it just turn brownish grey on my lids making me look as if i'm punched in the eye (even though i've put an e/s base) I know many girls like this a lot....but oh well...i think my skintone just clashes with this color. Too bad.

For me Trax falls into this category. It was one of the first MAC products that I bought because I read that it was a best seller, and I love the *idea* of a dark purple with gold glitter, but Trax just makes me look like I've had my ass kicked. It's the most unflattering shade of bruise ever. Gah! I've seen it look hot in an EOTD here and there, but it's always used sparingly in the crease or the wearer is very dark skinned. I cannot pull it off no how :p

Blue Brown for sure, I just think the color is really unflattering on me.

Parrot / kicky blue. It makes me look seriously ill. I dont know why it makes me look sick, maybe the slight green in it. Either way its a huge pain in the ass because I paid $58US for the liza pm quad for the colour and now I cant use it

Parrot, Electric Eel and Sushi Flower - those colors just look ridiculous on me.

Quarry/Blackberry - These make me look like I have bruises on my eyelids.

Trax. Bought on my first purchase for my wedding day and I can barely get it to show/last, nevermind show well. It just becomes bruisey on me. =(

Blue Brown. I feel like I bitch about it all the time (LOL actually I do). I have made it work once, but it's just too much to do, IMO. It should just WORK.

Moth Brown = Dirty Wet Pavement on me, not a good look.

Trax makes me look like I got punched by someone with an uneven distribution of gold glitter on their knuckles.

Oh wow, I just baught trax and wore it once by just brushing it on lightly since I was going to work but I hated everything about it. The color just looked blah and I found myself looking in the miror later thinking WFT...ewwww. That was with no base though. I'm going to give it a few more times before I give up cause I'd really hate to consider it a waste.

It's funny - the one that I hear most people say they can't get to work for them are my absolute favorites.. like Blue-Brown. That is my all time favorite anything from MAC!

The items I can never get to work from me are all these great nude lipsticks that everyone loves like Hug Me and Blankety. I'm very warm toned with highly pigmented lips, yet I am pale. OMG - SOOOOOO gross. I look diseased.
And Taupe e/s.. I keep trying and it just keeps not working.

i have to be very careful with parfait amour... it's a liner or crease colour only for me, otherwise i look like i was punched. it's such a pity because i love the colour.

another one that doesn't work... arena. looked great on my hand, not so good on me.
