The dumbest MAC mistake you've made.

[LMD84]

the biggest mistake i have done so far i think is chipping my hipness blush badly! it was my first time depotting a blush! it's been re-released now but sadly i don't have the funds to buy one just because it won't be chipped!

 

[keeks87]

my biggest mistake would be leaving an open bottle of pigment on my vanity and then knocking it over.

Goodbye Chartreuse

...would be throwing out empties before I knew about B2M.

 

[Annalese24]

For me throwing out empties and buying stuff bc the MAC sales person told me too... Thank god for Specktra I will not buy another MAC product without looking at swatches first

I still do this! I keep trying different MAC foundations just on the off chance that I might get lucky and find one that doesn't break me out.

A pigment jar in my travel bag wasn't screwed shut properly = pigment in the bag and on everything in it. I was so mad at myself!

This is my biggest problem. I have so many shadows and pigments that I love just because of the color, but don't really wear because they don't suit my skintone, or are too bold for me to pull off.

I'm about to purge and get rid of them.

Reading this has made me realise I threw out an empty Lip Conditioner tube just the other day. Nooooo...! And I've been B2M'ing for 10 years now, so how could I have forgetten?!

deppotting a pan from a palette with my thumbnail and my nail went through the pan of shadow, and i still didnt get it out of that quad! LOL

I am bound and determined to make this work for me. The other day I wore a light layer of it with Soft Brown in the crease and it wasn't so bad...It's still so much drier than my other paint pots!!

 

[marusia]

I've never owned a paint pot before (for use other than sale LOL), so Bare Study is my first, with nothing to compare it to. I love applying it all over my lid with my 242 brush. It's the perfect highlighter color for my NW15/NW20 skin...I think I'm just going to say I'm NW17.5 from now on, that seems to be my perfect color.

I emptied out a 3/4 full Fix+ bottle into one of those clear plastic travel size spray bottles so I could back 2 mac it. I put the travel size bottle in my kit unlabeled and used it about half way and all was well...Until one day I went to refill another one of those bottles with alcohol and made the mistake of filling my Fix+ sprayer with alcohol. I felt so dumb! Bad enough I paid $12 for water, but to ruin it was the worst.

When I was like 13/14 I decided I wanted some mac foundation, but for some reason I thought yea I would buy it off the website and match myself up by the swatches on the site. I picked nc37 because I thought it looked like my skin on the computer. I'm actually a nw15/20. I still wore it.

Buying Newly Minted e/s... waste of money

Ordering By Candlelight MSF from Nordies. They shipped it without any kind of padding, it was new in box but arrived shattered to bits. They gave me my money but of course it was sold out when I tried to return it. Don't order stuff from that store--they don't know how to pack make up. (and the gall is they charge $8 shipping to literally throw your delicate makeup in a hoooooge box too big for the items and it gets thrown around from the store all the way to your house. Re-dunkulous!)

So nice of them!!!!

Buying Studio Sculpt foundation, I have not worn it since I got it. The thing is, I got it while I was on vacation and I loved the way it looked after the MUA applied it. It's too heavy for me.

Now if I could have a MUA do my makeup everyday, then maybe I'd consider it.

Patina. Worst mistake ever. And I bought it before I was aware of their return policy. Still have it..... barely touched. The only use I found for it was to depot for b2m.
