What are the MAC Pro Must Haves?

[MAC_Whore]

Mixing medium (water) is great with pigments, or if you need to paint something on the body. I like it. I would def get it over the alcohol-based, as you have more options.

Other :

-CCBs: Greensmoke, Red Clay, Bat Black, Air Force Blue, Yellow Scream, Pink Shock, Orange Alarm and Madly Magenta.
-Hyper Real Powders are great
-The metallic pigments, esp Rosegold.
-Other Pigments: Pink Vivid, Green Brown, and Deep Blue Green
-Any and all of the "Reflects" glitters. The Reflects Blue glitter over the Burnt Burgundy paint stick (also a pro product) looks amazing on the eyes.
-YOU HAVE TO BUY THE GUAVA PRO GLOSS!!!! It is the most gorgeous lip gloss. It kind of reminds me of Motif eyeshadow. Blue Brunette Progloss gives a killer effect as well.
-Wavy Blue pencil
-Pro eyeshadow in Cobalt
-The Beyond Bronze or Bronze FX Hyper Real
-The Invisible Set Powder
-A lipmix or two takes what lip products you already have and give you a lot more options.
-Chromacakes are fun. Perfect for painting designs or fake tattoos

Ummmm, I will stop now before I have talked you into buying a grand worth of MAC.

Oh, and the tweezer case! Damn! Sorry! I will stop now!

i like peachstock l/s. i use a lush lipbalm before and i love this color. i dont like it without balm. it looks a bit too dry and matte. but everyone need this color

I would skip the pro shadows but get some pigments =)

The Fine Point Pencil brush (#211)...I LURVE...

... this brush as a liner or lip brush...you get such great control with it.

I love the lipmixes- they are fabulous for mixing just about any lipcolor you want. I esp love fuchsia, crimson, violet (AMAZING), pink, and white frost if you want to bring a color down to a pastel.

The pro pigments are fabulous- the metallic ones are beautiful- platinum, rose gold, gold, and copper are very beautiful.

I would make sure to get some FL to use as bases- I like them better than many of the other pro products for eyes- I use them as shadows and set pigments into them if I want a heavier more dimensional look.

Also, I love Pink Shock CCB for blush on a cool palette look.

Chartreuse is a MUST have for me, as is Electric Coral- I use it for blush for darker complexions. Pink Pearl, Frozen White, and Clear Sky Blue are also colors I can not do without for the cool palettes. These are the pigments, btw. Grape is a nice color to have to mix with others I find too.

I also love Blue brunette pro gloss, chartreuse, pink pearl, and violet pro glosses- they look fabulous over lipstick. Also Bronze pro gloss is amazing over intense red lipstick.

Lastly, I absolutely love lash mix and liner mix to make my own mascara and liners. Now, I like to mix my own mascara so that when I change from one palette to another, I can coat the brows with mascara to make them look like they match the hair, using a darker pencil under for a more 3D look.

Hope that helps!

Umm, I live in Japan, so they cost a lot more than they do in the US.
They were almost 40US$ each when I bought them. :\
I'm sorry, I'm no help... but I assume they're about 30US$, and not more than that? MAC eyeshadows here cost about 25US$ each, by the way. So I'm guessing general MAC items there are about 10US$ less than they're here?

Unfortunately, there are no Pro Stores in the Midwestern US! But when I do find one in my travels, I stock up on Pro Pigments!

I would love to get some eyeliner mixing medium the next time I get to a Pro Store.
