Q and A

Cranberry. Gah, i look like a retard.

 

[Glow]

Slip Pink, It looks so gorgeous in the pot but Nothing goes on the brush, or on my eye. And as much as I want to love this, I find myself reaching for pink venus as a replacement for disappointment.

Noooo I was the same way. I finally sold my Parrot because it just sat there for the collector in me. It didn't even look *that* great as a liner on me.

And don't even get me started on Shale. What a mofo color.

Purple Haze - I don't get the color payoff I'd like. It's so pretty in the pan, though.

ugh i agree w/ slip pink - it's my nemesis. it looks like nothing on my eyelid, nothing at all. actually i think my bare eyelid looks better than my eyelid with slip pink on it. just the thought of this color makes me angry. i shouldn't have bought it but i got so caught up in all things lingerie i couldn't resist

 

[ledonatella]

Trax was too burgundy
Tilt, Moon's Reflection, & Freshwater all too blue

Jasmine too yellowy

 

[valley]

chrome yellow, juxt, trax, living pink.... I think they just dont work for a cool toned green eyed person like myself. I've learned to stick with my cool pinks, purples and neutrals. (I have cranberry but I havent been able to bring myself to actually put it on... I really dont think it'll work)

I want to love all the electro colours just so I can see what everyone else sees in them.

I'm just too 22-going-on-middle-aged to see the appeal of Chrome Yellow, Electric Eel, et al. :/

-Parfait Amour: It's so faint! I want full-on violet frost and it just disappears/flakes away.
-Bitter: I really hope Overgrown can replace this shade because it's so unique and gorgeous but it too disppears!

It seems like MAC is coming up with updated versions of older shades. Most of the Veluxe Pearls seem like better-textured versions of old faves. I hope they keep it up!

 

[crystalteardrop21]

casino looked disgusting on me. sparkling orange, seriously

 

[Leslie_B]

Hepcat/Plum Dressing. They both end up getting really muddy on me, I think I'd like them better if they were a Satin or Veluxe finish instead. ooooh, veluxe would be really nice actually.

 

[2_pink]

Deep Truth e/s...but only because i dont have anything else to really pair it with, so ive used it like...once.

Oh, and Black Tied e/s....its SO pretty in the pan....but for me it just gets messy and the glitter never stays...im thinking of returning it for carbon.

 

[Piaqua]

Chrome Yellow... it's soooo cool looking, and one of the reasons I love mac (amazing bright and daring shades), but I'm too pale for it, it makes me look sick!

 

[CaptainMac]

Paradisco, I love you in the pan, but you don't seem to want to show up on my lid

 

[pushhupsindrag]

hepcat, trax. bleh those looks so gross on me. also almost every light color cause they dont show up on me. i have such a hard time just getting paradisco to show up a little.

 

[jmvuitton]

idol eyes and trax. doesnt matter how much i pack it on or use different color bases.. it never shows up

 

[Isis]

Jasmine - I tried and tried, and it just made me look jaundiced no matter what so I swapped it away.
Idol Eyes - It's got so much potential! But seriouslly needs to be reformulated, nothing I do will get it to stay.

 

[arbonnechick]

Sushi Flower.
It looks great on my cheeks, though.
