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

[MacArtist]

For the Trax haters lol

I love to use the Macroviolet Fluidline as an eyeashadow base all over the lid and then pack Trax over it, it's gorgeous! If you don't have Macroviolet as a MA to give you a sample of it for you to try. Try using one of the bronze color e/s as the crease color. Yummy!

Don't be a hater until you've tried this!

Bumping this thread! Is there anyway to eliminate the orangeness in woodwinked? It's just so gorgeous in the pan

 

[liv]

I have to say Woodwinked as well. It just translates as really orangey on me as well (NW15), and I can't figure out a way to bring out the golden tones I see in the pot. Sigh.

 

[talk2mesun]

electric eel ,chrome yellow, bitter and woodwinked

 

[Krasevayadancer]

Carbon for me- its such a pain to blend and it gets everywhere!

Falling Star doesn't look burgundy to me at all.

Beauty Marked - doesn't lool special on me like it does in it's pan.

i agree with the person who says we need to (re)discover the colors....

i finally figured out how to use Cinders from MAC Delights Trend palette - layer over Tease n Teal, with a little Gorgeous Gold in inner corner (i have such a hard time with GG, too)

Club is hard to work with, but i find layering it over Beige-ing s/s brings out the green in it more.

*sigh* i just wished i had an "eye" and automatically knew what colors would work well together.

i know i'm going to get crap for this, but the whole barbie loves mac line. love the concept, but the colors were all so similar to other mac e/s i already owned or were just sorta blah.

Barbie loves MAC was kind of underwhelming in general. I expected everything to be out of this world, and it was only so, so.

sushi flower makes me look like i've been rubbing my eyes. i'm trying to layer it over stuff, but i haven't succeeded to make it look nice yet.

one of the MA at MAC used Claire de Lune e/s from Moonbathe and applied Chrome Yellow over it and buffed the two together so the pearl/shimmer of Claire de Lune showed through and its color turned Chrome Yellow into a creamy shimmery yellow. it looked very wearable.

i think you can use Hush or Jest instead of Claire de Lune if you don't have it.

i can't wear Overgrown, it has too much yellow for me and make me look sallow (which i already am w/o makeup) and sick.

Black Tied and Jewel Blue!

Black Tied- It goes on too sheer for my liking and it's difficult to blend. Also, I hate that it gets everywhere.

Jewel Blue- I don't know what possessed me to buy it. It's so unflattering on me and it's a pain to blend. I've tried using it as a crease colour but it ended up ruining the look.

I would suggest that you layer Blue Brown or Club with

1. Lilt
2. Gladabout
3. Antiqued
4. Coppering
5. Shimmermoss
6. Plumage (for a shimmery smoky eye)

It will look great. Blend the heck out of it. The Queen of Blending did a Blue Brown look ... made me go out and buy it and I love it.

 

[powderpaint]

another for woodwinked, i look sick when i have this on.

 

[ratmist]

Practically all of the greens. I don't know if it's a personal preference thing or what, but if I wear green, I always feel like an Asian hooker slut (I'm half Filipino just in case anyone thinks that's a racist jab at Asians - it isn't). Worst offenders are Kelly Green pig, Chartreuse pig, and Golden Olive. All of them make me look jaundiced, a-la hepatitis (I had Hep A a long time ago so maybe the green + jaundice gives me flashbacks.) The only one that is *marginally* passable is the Humid, but I'm not a big fan.

 

[ductapemyheartt]

stars n' rockets.
it looks so beautiful in the pot...and then i put it on my lids and it looks so light. i just bought a shadestick so hopefully that will help...i used paint as a base,but it really did nothing to stars and rockets.

also, i hate contrast. it is my least favourite eyeshdawo. i can never ever get it to work.

 

[Dark_Phoenix]

Shroom... it is almost the same color as my skin and looks horrible.

 

[girlambrosia]

Woodwinked is okay if I combine it with other colours, and don't have it 'next' to skin. Worn alone, as a wash, it looks like I have dirty eyes. Worn alone, packed on, it looks like I have dirty, shimmery eyes

That said, it looks mighty pretty in the pan...

Electric Eel also dislikes me, as do many other blues. Oh, and must I always look so ugly in Sushi Flower? So many girls rock it, just - me? No.

Club looks awesome with a little Shimmermoss and smoked out, though

It's a great going-out look.

 

[Joke]

I have moss green eyes and all those reddish e/s that can give bruised looks, just look wonderfull on me.
That being said, I'm really sad that I can't wear blue shades well

I don't know if you have Pink Pearl pigment but it's almost the same color as Stars N Rockets and shows up more. I (dumb ass) bought them both and usually wear Pink Pearl pigment as a base and pack StarsNRockets on top.
