Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you?

[paperfishies]

Blankety lipstick-it only looks good on me if I pale out my lips first, which is obnoxious, lol...

and....

217 brush-I have a few for my kit but I don't consider this the blending brush from the gods that everyone seems to think it is. MAC, IMO makes much better blending brushes.

take a liquid highlighter, like Stila's Kitten Highlighter or Benefit's Moonbeam and put it on the cheeks, then dust the beauty powder over it. It's delicious.

Hmm, I was sadly disappointed too

I got it yesterday, along some other MAC stuff and it spreads on the lips so unevenly. I love amplifieds but this one looks weird on my lips.
Also, Girl About Town, although pretty, I thought it would be more bright (I usually rely on swatches I see on the internet).

MSF's - Don't get the hype. I have 3, and I hardly use them. They're just too shimmery or not that great of colors for me.

Dazzleglass - Too sticky and glittery... why did I think these were a good idea?

I would have to add Bare Canvas Paint to my list, but recently it's become one of my faves after hating it for years. What's up with that?

Studio Tech. Too heavy, settles into lines... Of course, I've never had luck with cream-to-powder foundations. They're not really for the heavy of hand (or brush).

I am, sadly, one of those people who can't really get Woodwinked to work - it seems to oxidize on my skin, and comes out a sort of orange-gold-brown (which may sound pretty in theory, but on my neutral-to-cool skin it makes me look a little sickly). Although I have found it looks pretty just in the inner corner.
I used to hate Twig (it was my first real purchase, too) and didn't understand why everyone thought of it as a staple... I still think it's overhyped, but I've found that if I take the time to apply it with a lip brush and dab a bit of a pinker gloss in the center, it can look like a fairly nice, sophisticated color. But I also do find it drying. Eh.

All of my friends just love Petticoat. I bought it to off course but I didn't like it at all.

 

[shy_gal_jojo65]

lipglass, i know, i'm sorry. as gorgeous as they are i can't seem to like them cause of the sticky feeling.

Naked lip liner

 

[Snarkling]

Studio Tech and the Stick foundation - I never understood how both could make my oily skin look dry and flaky (though to be fair I used both of those when I was a teenager so it was before I discovered primer).

Naked Lunch, Shroom & Vex I'm on the fence about and Vanilla pigment I think has a little too much gold reflect so it doesn't work with a lot of the combinations I use.

Also I really don't like the grease paint stick - maybe I just haven't figured out how to use them yet but I have products I prefer to use for liner and as a base it doesn't blend so I'd rather used NYX black bean. (Would love some tips though)

The fluidlines. I've tried a few, even the MA's seem surprised when I return them. They just doesn't last for more than a half an hour on my oily eyelids.

perfect topping msf--its ok but nothing spectacular
expensive pink--i just don't like this...I don't like how it makes my eyes look

I have oily lids as well and wear the primer from Benefit under them!

I've tried primers under it, still no luck even though my primers work really well with other eyeliners. Eyeliners are just a really tricky issue with me. I can't wear gel/pencil liners because they smudge no matter what.

But I find that the liquidlast liners work amazingly on me.

same here. really wanted to love the fluidline but sadly it smears, even after the mua suggested i put carbon on top. (must be due to my monolids?) so sad because i love gel liners and after i finish my fluidline, imma hunt for something that will not smudge

 

[soveryfabulous]

Mineralized blushes and eye shadows. I am just never drawn to these. I find the eye shadows to be too glittery with fallout and not much colour payoff and the blushes to be too shimmery.
