Much raved M.A.C shadows that doesn't work for u

[captodometer]

Old Gold pigment. It looks beautiful in the jar, but is a wretched bile yellow green on my skin. I look like I need to be on the liver transplant list when I wear it

I have the damndest time making purples look good. Parfait amour is the worst. I love the color, but it just looks like I colored on my lids with a crayon...all uneven and splotchy. No good. I craaaave a bright purple that works.

 

[Painkiller]

Shroom. I hear all these great things about it, but it's one of the many colors that don't show up/don't look good on my pasty ass.

2nd that. I thought it worked for everyone.

 

[xbrookecorex]

Trax!! Made me look like a domestic abuse victim (not meant to be offensive)

Amberlights just doesn't look right and blue brown I'm so in love with the color but I don't know about it on me...

 

[sandsonik]

Wow, I thought I was the only one Amber Lights didn't work for...it seems to look lovely on so many people. On me, it looks wet, very bright, and somehow it makes my lids look almost scaly! I guess it reveals every flaw...thought maybe I was putting it on too thick.

 

[lvgz]

WOW. you guys that hate trax should try trax over cranberry. its wonderful for smokey looks.

 

[Prismique]

Amberlights for me also. It's really the only one I've come across that I can't make work.

 

[LuvBeMac]

sushi flower, budding beauty..pinks anyway

I am an NW25 with brown hair and eyes. I can play around with and make most things work, but Jete...Blaaaa. It is too much work and I don't even want to make it work. It is too transparent looking.

Well, now that I've said that, I've laid down a challenge to myself and I will probably give it another go.

 

[discokie]

all girl pigment! looks horrible on me :/

 

[kalice]

pink opal on my eyes makes me look all bloated and swollen! NOT flattering!

 

[FrazzledOne]

Parrot, Cranberry, and any of the in your face purples and red-violet colors.

 

[Winthrop44]

Lucky Green!

 

[Katja]

Club e/s was the first e/s I bought, and I find that I don't reach for it a lot because I can't find a good way for it to work on me.

Amber Lights just fades into my skintone, and Expensive Pink does not look good on me either.

And C-thru l/g is way too milky on me. I look like I just smoked a bunch of crack and ate a whole box of powdered donuts.

 

[chocula]

2nd Lucky Green.
Woodwinked and Mythology... both turn orange on me.

 

[GalleyGirl]

Black Tied - I am too pale for any type of black on my face
Parfait Amour - I look bruised
Chrome Yellow - I look jaundiced
Pompous Blue - I look like have too much blue e/s on

 

[totoro]

endless love.
barely shows up, even if I try putting a ton of it on

 

[Pythia]

Vex was just horrible on me. Made me look ill I think.
I sold it.
