SO TRUE highonmac
when I see Zerin and other hotties absolutely rockin da lips...it makes me turn green with envy! I feel like I have a little bit of hyperpigmentaition on my upper lip and chin, its super subtle but I feel like wearing bright lips calls attention to it..LMAO I'm sure thats all in my head, but that plus the hooker look holds me back
OMG Can you post a pic with you and your chatterbox? lmao I'd love to see it!

Just came across this thread (I'm new)
I'm afraid I have no idea what I am in terms of the colour classification for my skin *d'oh* I own a prescriptives foundation that a friend helped me buy about 4 years ago (!) and I've worn it all of once
I've never used bronzer - i don't think I'd know where to put it.
I do love eyeshadows though - my eyes are dark brown. My fave colours are green shades (the deeper, the better - emerald looks wonderful with brown eyes). I don't quite have the technique though, so I tend to just use them as colourful eyeliners - trying to cover the entire eyelid sometimes ends up with me ruining the natural shape of my eye....if y'know what I mean.
I mostly use pencil eyeliners, as I prefer the smudged effect to a sharp line. Mostly I line the top with a small bit on the outer corner of the lower lash line. I rarely line the entire eye - maybe I'm not used to it, but it looks strange? Maybe that's just my eye shape...
Anyhow, I'm loving reading everyone's ideas and hopefully I'll be a little less clueless once I've been here for longer

I've since moved on to eyeshadow, but I remember the good old days
you should definitely go to MAC one day and get a foundation match! I think flawless beautiful makes every mu application look infinitely better! and you can get color reccs on here, if we know what shade you are
Good call on jewel tone greens! I love Rimmels soft kajal pencil in Jungle green the most perfect Emerald-make-brown-eyes-pop green ever!
Bronzer is usually dusted on the places that the sun would hit you naturally like, on your temples and cheeks..but some people (like me!) use it more as a contour. I prefer it under my cheekbones (make a fishy face and apply on the line.) There's a ton of tutorials and stuff on specktra (
So go bananas!! and have fun

You should try Mac Magenta lipliner with Pink Nouveau lipstick...it looks better like that. A lipliner always makes lips look complete. =D WHOA! Hotmodelchiq is GORGEOUS! |

I LOVE solar white eyeshadow. A gorgeous yellow gold. I bought 2 from the cool heat collection. It's just amazing. SO PRETTY! If I didn't have another backup of solar white I would definitely get this quad lol....just for solar white! It's amazing guys!!! MAGICAL!
I haven't seen the Euristorcrats lipstick yet...are the swatches/pics up? I hope they are not all lustres....Mac keeps bringing out lustre lipsticks in collections. =(
For style warriors....I would love to get the bronzer because of the packaging lol...but I can't get it since I have the same refined golden bronzer from an old collection.
I'm eyeing the two gold eyeshadows (I heart gold shades) I wonder if it will be too close to goldmine and flip... :S I might grab a lippie from that collection too. (Yes, for the packaging) I'm defintely passing on the blushes. I have similar shades.
I know the Honey collection is far away but I really want the highlight powder. =D Looks so pretty!

yah I thought about that...apparently the final effect of the new powder is more glowy and it diffuses imperfections like fine lines and blemishes....
and my butt glows in the dark <rolls eyes> I'm pretty used to Mac's over reaching claims...but I still hold out and cross my fingers for a decent product.
LOL I bet the ladies on here will be comparing the two once it releases...I have to call the pro store to see if its selectively out yet..Let you guys know what I think when I get my grubby lil paws on it!
The blot powder seems to work for the majority of people on here, yet I found for me it left a weird powdery look on my face regardless of my fix plus usage and how much I buffed it. Also, it made me really shiny even though I don't have oily skin to begin with! So a product that is designed to curb shine, is exarcebating this condition?? Doesn't make sense to me..
Like I said in my post above, my skin just did not like it. It seems to block all the pores on my forehead, leaving me with a really wierd not uber noticeable texture that didnt go away with exfoliation. Only when I stopped using it, my skin lost its 3D weirdness loool
Like select sheer, its really fragile..so if you do get it and it works for you, then be really gentle with it! the powder shatters at whim...
actually thank goodness it broke, otherwise I wouldn't have stopped using it!

The e/s I am excited about from that quad is Solar white ( I saw it in your vids hun!) and Contrast..it seems like everything I thought Deep Truth would be! Like Kim K's Jimmy Kimball look..you know the vid tutorial she does with Troy Jensen on YouTube? that blue in the crease?
Don't get me wrong, I love my DT loool but I bought it thinking it would be like that color.
How does Solar white compare to Femme-fi btw? TIA
OMG I effing hate LUSTRES...they don't last at all...I swear my Lipglasses last longer then they do!
I want the bronzer too! I need a new contour...I'm thinking either that or that sculpt and shape pro powder....
lol at the gold shadows!! I skipped flip but goldmine is "mine" hahha

Hey Ziya! The main reason me not liking the blotting powder is because of that powdery look after...it just doesn't suit me at all! =S Still...I'm trying to finish what I have left lol
Femme Fi and Solar White are completely different in texture. Femme Fi is more opaque and solar white is more sheer but with alotta gold in it. JUST MAGICAL!
I don't like frosts either but the only one I love and can wear is Angel lipstick...it's amazing! It doesn't even look like a frost to me. I'm not a big fan of lustres either so I'm picky with them.
Thnx for the list nunu.

my gripe with frosts is the serious drying effects, like I'm talking major mouth meltdown think dry, fuzzy and peeling...I've worn my viva glam 3 I think, maybe twice? each time I kick myself! I am an obsessive lip glosser so my pout always is super soft and smooth.... /end rant
sorry about that
Do you know how similar VGII is to Angel?

Angel is a very unique shade. Don't be fooled by the lightness of it...it's gorgeous when you put it on...another pretty nude pink! =) It's different then those viva glam lipsticks for sure. Kim K uses it along with Nars Turkish Delight lipgloss/Mac Underage lipgloss!
Also, I noticed you wanted to check out Fast Play lipstick (perm)...I know you're not into the twig and mocha kinda "aunty ji" colours lol..... but fast play is at the same kinda darkness level.... I have it and I can wear it but lately I've been wearing lighter colours and so I just gave it to my mom. Check out Cosmo lipstick (perm-amplified) it's a bit lighter and still pretty. Cosmo and Fast Play are both in the same family though.
Oh yeh...Full Fuschia and Ramblas Red sounds nice too! There are too many lustres in this collection. I'm actually gonna stop buying lustres lol I agree with Ziya...lipglosses last longer than most lustres.
