I feel the same about Melon! I got it because I kept hearing how great it was, and once I used it was extremely disappointed. It looked so weird and muddy on my skintone

(And yep, like I said on the last page, still not into Stereo Rose, haha.)

Mineralize eyeshadows: a glittery mess, tons of fallout. Melon pigment. And sorry to say that: Satin Taupe e/s! Looks muddy on me (NW20/25 for reference).

Patina never shows up much on me. Just looks yellow. I'm nw15-20

 

[martiangurll]

paint pots--yup, crease city.
Lip balm thingies--too messy to apply--sigh.

 

[Modmom]

amber lights e/s

 

[liquidsirenhoney]

all bronzers they just never look right on me no matter what i do or even if a MUA does it.
bare study paint pot, it creases and it just doesn't work for me.

 

[PillyPen]

Bare Study. No matter how little I use it looks like a glitter bomb hit me!

 

[kabuki_KILLER]

Petticoat. I never tried it before this month and it's gorgeous in the pan, but when I put it on my skin, for some unexpected reason, it's just less than satisfactory for the 30 bucks to spend on it. I ended up getting a less pretty looking Stereo Rose which, despite how orange-red it looks in the pan, looks good in small quantities on my face.

Carbon e/s. It's so chalky and difficult to blend. Typographic rules

 

[ashleydenise]

MSF's - I have one that I NEVER use, I think I swatched it 1x, I think they're stupid and pointless ;x

Paint Pots that have a shimmer to them, they crease for me. The flat ones are fine, but ones like Rubenesque with a little shimmer need to die in a fire.

Colored fluidline.. They never go on solidly for me.

CCB - Have two.. Hate them

any MAC mascara =[

 

[singer82]

Probably the mascaras. I can get a better or equal to mascara from the drug store.

Hate carbon really? Hmmm I just bought it recently and I LOVE it.
I have the bare study paint pot and I love it as well. Works well for me. I love shimmery and metallic colors and bare study is a great base for it

things work different from person to person

For me, all the MSF's(except the natural one in deep dark which I love). I can't stand the glitter, makes my skin look asky and dull. I actually don't like any of their mineralized stuff. I almost gave in and bought a shadow from the In The Groove collection until I looked at it in the sunlight and then I was glad I didn't.

I also don't like pigments. Too messy and incovience to use for me.

The pigments. But only because I don't really wear eyeshadow. I might like Vanilla pigment as a highlight for my cheeks though

I do wear eyeshadow, and love several pigments.
However, Vanilla is not a favorite of mine; I find it too sheer.

I agree with this, to some extent.
Pigments are beautiful, but they can indeed be messy and inconvenient.
I only use them when I have plenty of time to do my makeup, which is not often.
Some of the incredible colors make it worth some hassle, though.

I hate everything that looks even a little bit orange on my eyes, it makes me look ill, I tried for over a month to make Expensive pink work for me but I finally gave up and gave it to my mom

 

[peachsuns]

Petticoat MSF?

I can't do anything orange-toned anywhere on my face.
I see all these vibrant orange-toned lipsticks, and they look so pretty and summery, but I know they'd make me look terminal, so I must pass them up.
