I am NC40 (but C35 in mac pro full coverage foundation which i apply with a wet sponge for a sheerer effect). I use the bobbi brown corrector in peach under my eyes and blend it in with my 188 like gossmakeupartist does in one of his youtube videos. And then I repeat the same thing with my foundation to top the corrector and blend again. Set it with mac's mineralize skinfinish natural powder in medium dark. Hope that helps!

The bb corrector in peach does make a huge difference for the moderate darkness under my eyes. I look "bright" and fresh with it. Without it, its like meh!

This thread isn't moving at all....It's been ages!...where are you guys? lol

Well...it's been awhile since I've been on Specktra too. Have you guys heard about the MAC - Prolongwear Collection? I'm excited for the lipsticks, foundation/concealer. I'll definitely pick 2-3 lipsticks.

I'm digging....
- Love Forever (Fuschia Pink - It's a darker version of Pink Nouveau)
-Till Tomorrow (Dark Pinky-Nude)
-Unlimited (Dirty Rose)
-Extended Play (Brick Red)

I can't wait to try these colours in person @the store. I'll also try to get the samples of the foundations before purchasing but if I love it a lot in store I'll just get it. =)

It's too bad they didn't bring out more lipstick shades like corals/lavender pinks/fall colours.

OH yeh....this collection is permanent....so there is no hurry!

 

[sonaliagrawal]

I am checking the collection out tomorrow. So excited to see if they do indeed live up to their name ... "longwear"!

 

[zerin]

I saw the new mac lipsticks they seemed nice but not as unique as I thought they would be and from Temptalia's review....I do have an idea of the lasting power though. I got one lipstick which is Love Forever (fuchsia pink). I also got the pro longwear foundation in NW 35 (the MA suggested I try it out). They had NC 42 (seemed too light in some areas) and NC 45 was the next shade down but that one seemed too dark for me. NW 35 has some warm tones in it without it having strong yellow tones like the NC line. I still have to review this foundation. I'll update you ladies on this foundation later on.

I'm actually DIGGING the MUFE lipstick line. These babies are intensely pigmented. You won't be dissapointed. So ladies...DO check out these lipsticks. Totally worth it. There are 3 finishes....satin, pearly & matte. My store only had 2 matte shades so hopefully the rest will come soon.

Hi everyone!

I went to MAC today and was bummed to learn that we can no longer b2m for cremesheen glasses, my favorite lip product formula.

I picked up Vegas Volt l/s and Lychee Luxe lipglass, and a sample of the new foundation. I ran into the same issue as you Zerin with the color range selection. She suggested I get NC42 and I haven't tried it yet but it looks too light for me right now. If I like the formula/wear I will try NW35 next.

 

[Ziya]

Oh my gosh ladies...long time no see...

Sorry (sheepish look) I've been wanting to try Pro long wear ( you guys know I'm a foundie ho') I heard they run light too...I guess gotta try in store.. anybody who's tried broken out?
ME+MAC foundation and concealer= bad
I think I'll get a sample

Fall makeup, anybody excited?

I'm stoked to do dramatic lips!

 

[nunu]

I've been away for a month and i have no idea what's going on in the beauty world! LOL. I need to start catching up!

What's everyone loving at the moment?

 

[dopista]

hi ladies... I'm glad this thread is coming alive again! I missed you guys!

Things that are getting alot of love from me recently include my BOS II, Sleek palettes (Storm, Sunset & Jewels), NARS Deep throat blush, So Ceylon MSF (pure love) and Optimistic orange blush topped with Dark side of Marine Life! OO is brilliant on its own but also makes the most fabulous base for coral toned blushes. I just realised that most of my current favs are LE.. I'm not sure whether it is LE appeal or if it is just that LE stuff is better?

Stuff I can't wait to get my hands on - UD Naked palette and Bite of an apple blush.


Also, I can't wait to try out the new prolongwear foundation MAC has.. It must be quite impressive if it looks pretty much the same after 12 hours of wear (according to Christine @ Temptalia's review). I also want to try out MAC Face and Body foundation. I already use MSFN, Studio fix powder and fluid (not at the same time.. Lol!) so I might take the NARS and/or MUFE ones out for a spin before I hand over my cash to MAC.

 

[vintageroses]

^^ UD Naked is amazing! You must get it!

& i wanna try prolongwear too!

 

[angelynv]

Hey vintageroses totally agree re Ud naked pallette! Im trying to get the other thread going which basically asks if people can post all the different looks they can create with the pallette. Pleeeeeese can you add something to it as I know you have great skills x And anyone else on this thread too x

i looooove fall makeup and the dramatic lip trend....i've been wearing 'faithfully yours' the last few days, and i will break out 'dark deed' tomorrow i think!

 

[Ziya]

Ooohh I'm liking MUFE's lippies! Just looking at sephora page I see some hot looking shades (ahem, 38) loool Im planning a huge sephora and MAC pro haul....
there's a really cool BI gift bag with a mini nars casino and Chihuahua l/g with $50 purchase! I'm on the waiting list for a NAKED palette but TBH I wasnt/am not lemming it at ALL!! Somebody get me excited please! Im a matte neutral lover so this is right up my alley, but I feel I already have all the colors I need..
hmm...

Here's what I want from MAC pro: Contour powder is shadowy, 222 brush, Chromographic pencil in NC15, 4 pan e/s palette.
Sample of long wear concealer+foundation, and vanilla piggie. (is this too light for me?)

Sephora: MUFE F&B #34 and/or #6 -anyone know if #6 is a good match for NC 40? Naked palette, try the new MUFE lippies and HD blushes and try Hourglass veil foundation

whew! Good thing my berday is coming up (I can treat myself without feeling as guilty lmao)

GUYS! Its sooo good to be back on here... (HUGE HUGS ALL AROUND!) missed this place like crazy

 

[zerin]

^Aww....hugs to all of you too!

jazmatazz - Mac has gotten so strict lately! I don't like all these rules and price increases anymore. It's making me shift over to MUFE products now. I'd rather pay more for the intensity/longer staying power of products. Honestly, MUFE products are DA BOMB! I'm glad they have revamped all their products. Good choices with the b2ms...you got pretty shades. =)
I'm liking the new Mac foundation formula actually and I do find it long lasting for sure.

Ziya - The foundation is formula is great and long lasting. No breakouts so far. You should get a sample next time. I'm still experimenting with the colour match NW 35 for now...so far it's alright.

As for fall makeup...I'm loving Mac DIVA and REBEL lipsticks. Diva is a gorgeous burgundy matte mac lipstick. Try it out! I also love Mac Beet lipliner...it's so pretty! Also, Happy Early Birthday! =D

nunu - I've been pretty away from the beauty world myself. I'm not liking the new Mac Disney VV collection too much. It's probably because I find it very dupable. I'm loving MUFE products though....almost everything MUFE comes out new with...I just fall in LOVE.

vintageroses - I'm thinking about getting that Naked Palette as well.

Although, like Ziya...I think I have similar shades from the palette already.

aradhana - I got these MUFE lipsticks: #21 pearly bright red, #9 pearly fuchsia pink and #39 coral orange... I love the formula/lasting power of these lipsticks. I want more so I hope the IMATS in Toronto, Canada carry them this year. I have the review/swatches on my blog.

zerin - I had a look at the pics of your mufe lipstick swatches on your blog...the colours and finish look very intense and rich! I was thinking about trying out the purply shades, but I guess we'll see once I get into the Sephora...
Unfortunately I won't be able to make it to TO for the IMATS. Do companies generally carry additional shades of products at these shows, or offer a discount?

 

[zerin]

Well...they have 40% off MUFE products but I don't know about their product selections.

They will carry...
Crown Brushes
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics
Make Up For Ever
Nars
Mac
Eve Pearl
Ben Nye
and many more brands.....I think this is the exhibitor list
You will love the MUFE lipsticks even more in person....these babies are so INTENSE!

Your blog swatches are gorgeous

I just bought Violetta from the VV collection...I'm waiting for it to arrive! But do you know how it compares to MUFE #9? The color looks amazing on you! I am very tempted to run over to Sephora and check these colors out...

I don't own a single MUFE lipstick!

 

[Ziya]

I'm hearing some good things about: Bite of an Apple, Violetta and Bad Fairy
totally was not into VV till I saw a bunch of swatch spam on MUA lmao
Love Memories: Please do tell us how you liike Violetta and if you can lip swatch it that would super cool!

I bet it would look super hot on you!

OMG LADIES! Momentous occasion

Two days ago I FINALLY caved and used (daintily on the side of the pan!) my Marine Life H/l!
I cant believe I waited so long, it is freakin amazingly gorgeous...I am such an idiot for keeping it in its little baggy for so long...LOL

Zerin: Dude, I never realized how much I love MUFE till I took a good long look at my MU collection! I finally noticed how many of my *love* products are MUFE! lol
honestly, I'm starting to get over MAC a bit...I can't keep up with this many collections first of all and lately every single one of them has been dissapointing...not excited about anything at all!

I totally thought FF was gona be the one collection I buy *EVERYTHING* of...I didnt like a single thing after seeing promo pics...

even xmas stuff looks blah..and thats usually my fav collections! whats happening to me guys? Am I...no longer...addicted?

LMAO
