If you are a makeup artist or in the artistery field, film, model etc, you can apply to become a member of MACpro, check out MAC Pro. It is cool, because you also get to go to classes and shows etc.

If you are eligible, and show two proofs of ID, you can get 40% off all MAC products.

If you are in the hair/nail industry, you can get 30% off all MAC products.

There is also a 1-800 number on the macpro site, and you can talk to someone if you have questions.

Yes Moss Scape - it is a gorgeous green goldy color. I JUST got it the other day, can't wait to play with it. I love paint pots...anyone have Painterly or something. I want another one I have moss scape, indian wood and rubensque. tell me tell me tell me what u guys have and like!

 

[DirtyPlum]

Try Greenstroke and Moss Scape for greeny gold and Fresco Rose as a pretty light dusky pink. Groundwork is like the nude for desis (painterly for white skintones).

okay so I have theese blushes: Format , dollymix , blossoming blushcreme and Melba..
I want two more blushes. I just did a live chat and the MA said that I should get ambering rose and peachykeen. But im not sure!
Im scared peachykeen is too much alike melba and blossoming..

There is so many blushes that I want , I cant decide!!
Okay so should I get: Sunbasque , peachtwist , raizin , peachykeen or ambering rose ? I was also thinking about blushcremes but im scared they are too similiar to the powder blushes I have ( I know , im a wierdo)

HEEEELP =P Also should I get bare study or soft ochre?

I don't have painterly but I do have soft ochre and I love it. Did you try playing with Delft paintpot? It is such a pretty darkened teal color. I always get compliments when I wear it with teal pigment.

WHAT FOUNDATION SHADE ARE YOU? WHAT KIND OF BLUSH COLOURS DO YOU WANT/LIKE?

Melba is matte and coral peach. Blossiming is shimmery coral.

Peachykeen is shimmery peachpink.
Sunbasque is darker shimmery peach.
Peachtwist may be too light?
Raizin is too dark (reddy/brown)
Ambering rose maybe too dark?

I would say peachykeen and a plummy colour which you dont already have. so something like breath of plum, dirty plum, plum foolery or perhaps Margin which is a lovely bronzey colour.

I would say stick with powder unless you have very dry skin or are older and want a dewy finish, in which case go for creme blushers.

I found soft ochre too light/yellow (I'm NC40) but it is matte whereas bare study is shimmery and more gold than nude. So I cant recommend which one to go for as I dont know the need and your full requirement i.e. do you want a nude/invisible paint?

i love bare study paint pot its a champagne color ... very pretty , can be worn under any color.

Painterly on the other hand is a lighter shade or bare study and is matte ..

i love sunbasque and style ... what shade are you ??

i am a NC25 for reference ...

I haven't tried groundwork, but i do agree with you, bright colour pop on top of painterly

i have moss scape , i love it too ... i have painterly and i use it under all eyeshadows , for me the lighter colors which wud look washed out if worn on bare skin , with painterly they become more vibrant .

another fav paint pot if you are into teals and greens and blues is delft , i love this one too ....

Yep, I agree that Gingerly is universally flattering. As is Peachykeen and Plum Foolery...

Lustering lipstick is my new fave atm, less committed than Girl About Town.

What do you guys think of the new eyeliner Penultimate? I think its genius, but now feel like I'm cheating on my Boot Black liner which is the item that got me hooked on MAC.
