If i click on the swatches i see there description right underneath the color name and swatch for example if i click on
Nocturnelle its comes up with the description
Pinked-up chrome purple (Frost).Thats what you mean by its description correct? I have to disagree with the swatches being wrong mostly because are computers are all different because ive searched mac on a million different computers and there always the same.More then anything i think they should have worked on making there swatches more correct for those who shop online because theres no local mac.For example the nail color asiatique swatch shows as a hot pink color but its actually a classic red.And it shows hot pink on everyones computers does it not? lol I think they have added better features then what the old site had but also they have taken away the features that were good from the old site.It might be slightly complicated an not user friendly but thats because its brand new i think.Soon you will be familiar with it and wont notice a difference and also hopefully they will work out some of the kinks.And to the ones that like that MAC PRO hasnt changed im assuming that site will change to this format quickly.

I liked just going to the site & being able to see the pictures of whatever collection is new, clicking it...oh, then buying.

It is definitely too black for me and I really don't like how the single products are presented now. The pics are too small, the little color boxes are aweful. Sorry, I am a bit disappointed. |

yay for you...but then again, maybe your site is next
The site is pretty & modern, and would like any makeup videos, but more than all that, I just want ease of navigation & functionality.

I don't like it.
For many reasons already mentioned. The flash is pretty, but annoying. It slows down my computer and takes forever to load. I used to leave the MAC site open while I was browsing MUA and Specktra so that I could check color descriptions if I read about something I was interested in. I can't do that anymore. The color palette is SO DIFFICULT to look through if you are trying to find a certain color. I hate that you can't see the different textures, and that you can't see if it's LE or not. I think the site is nice for new people that are just looking around and exploring MAC, but for people that need to find a certain color or another certain product and make a quick order it's impossible. My last complaint is the brush pictures. You can hardly see the shape of the brushes with a black background. Do you think they'll make more changes if we all said something to them about it? I usually like changes, but I'm not a fan of this one.

Yeah, I see those. What I am talking about is how on the old site, you could view lipsticks or eye shadows by a finish. For example, view all mattes. Now, you have to roll over each swatch to see its finish. Time consuming to the point where it makes me not want to do it.
Here's another random situation: Say you ask someone what colour they are wearing, because you like it and you want to buy it. Let's say it's MAC's Spirit LS. You can't just go to the lipstick area to select it (well, you can, you just have to mouse over 100 lipsticks to find it). You would have to search it in the site's search field. It just seems counter-intuitive to me that if a consumer knows the name of the product they want, they just can't go to that area and easily select it.
The swatches are bad. Gladiola LS looks gray lavender on my comp.

I like the overall design. Looks polished and clean, but a bit hard to navigate as others have said. It actually reminds me a little of the NARS official website and MUFE website. It looks similar but I think I prefer MACs and the way they organized everything.
It will take some time to get used to - definitely.
I do have to say that I love how they feature the brushes now. We now have new, accurate pictures of each brush. I didn't like the old pictures they had; you couldn't see the whole brush and the pictures weren't very flattering.
also: did anyone else notice that the swatches for Blonde and Redhead MSF are the same? They look exactly the same to me. I think someone messed up and put the same swatch for both. oopsie

I personally don't like it at all. I prefered the old site much more. The new one keeps making my computer freeze up
! I dont find it very user friendly either but hopefully I'll get use to it.

it doesn't bother me as much cause i know i can login to specktra and search/find good swatches of what i'm interested in! then i just go to macs site to place a quick order(not sure if thats working good still though), u really can't trust their swatches at all but the design will probaly never bother me too much.
