I got grand duo, love rock, moon river...AMAZING colors for slightly tanned complexions. I skipped the other ones because I mean how many peachy colors is MAC going to do
Oh btw, leamon Shiffon and butternutty shadesticks from the SS collection are MUST HAVES..they go on ultra smooth and are very pigmented..unlike other colors I have seen.

Hey guys,
Shaista, stark naked is a blush from MAC released with "Red, She Said" during Fall..it was a gorgeus dusty rose with gold flecks I believe..
my favorite cremesheen is Crosswires
Maybe try packing on the e/s your using a little more? and try using a good quality e.s like MAC or MUFE....and maybe less Rubenesque? HTH
or try Soft Ochre! its a lighter colored paint pot..a lot more neutral

Hey
Nothing from HK TBH and GD - it depends on what kinda colours you have already. I bought Earth to Earth cos my Margin blusher was a little lonely.

Like Ziya, Crosswires is my abso fave and from the previous launch I liked Fanfare and Ravishing (which is Missy slimshine but more opaque).

How are you applying it? Sounds like you are applying too much perhaps?
Use a good brush (MAC 242 or 217) to ensure you blend it into the skin really well and apply a small amount at first, then build up if necessary.
They do dry quickly so blend quickly and use your fingers if you need to warm it up some more.
Pat eyeshadow on top of it until you have the coverage you like and blend out afterwards, or just blend out the corners/outside?

hello ladies.. Since we are talking about paint pots I was wondering which one would be a neutral on my NC 42 skin as i desperately need a base and can't buy the infamous UD primer or two faced one..
On a side note.. I think I'm giddy with delight about the Style Warrior collection.. You know you are an addict when you start silently judging the value of everything thing else in "Thats the cost of 3 Mac eyeshadows!"

I think if you want a matte like texture then go for Groundwork paint pot. But if you want shimmery type then go for Indianwood
Painterly paint pot is good as well (i use it when i do neutral colours)

Why not try soft ochre paint pot. Its a creamy colour with no shimmer but its yellow based and darker than the pale painterly
Oh And I am soo excited about the style warriors, i want tons of things but i am not too too fond of the crazy packaging! I already have vibrant grape from that collection and ladies it is a must have purple its sooo pretty!

Hi!
Have any of you tried Lollipop Loving lippie? Do you like it? I'm thinking about B2M today for it.
Thanks!

Hey Everyone...missed you guys! =)
Personally....I never liked lollipop lovin on me...it's just TOO NEUTRAL... lol and I didn't like the green reflects in it either. I like how the lipstick colour looks though. I can just stare at it...lol... But it hardly showed up! I don't like glaze finish lippies at all. I like lippies with a lil bit more colour.
Even Mac's "Cutester" lipstick is sheer/neutral but that's the max neutral I would go.
