Keep in mind that these are the Deluxe e/s from UD not the normal ones. But yes, these ones seem to have as much as or in some cases a little bit more pigment than most of the MAC e/s that I have.

Just a side note...

The smokey look on Tuesday with the UD cream e/s lasted until 11.30pm (when I took it off) without creasing one little bit. And this was through a spin class.

The gold look from yesterday lasted until 1am in the morning when I took it off without creasing or fading.

Has anyone seen MAC backstage trend SS09?

This looks interesting! I could see myself wearing this to clubbing, except I am too old for clubbing.

 

[MrsMay]

^^ that's, um, interesting

On my eyes - sure! Lips... um, no. although it would look sparkly on all the glasses that I left behind!

 

[CatsMeow]

What have they used?

true.. I think you are not supposed to kiss, eat, drink or talk with this look.

CatsMeow, they used O lipstick, Blue Brown pigments and Pro Longwear gloss.. I really think it would look fantastic on the catwalk!

 

[CatsMeow]

Yeah I agree - on the catwalk. Otherwise we'd have to turn into pouty mutes if we wore it anywhere else. We'd look like hot pouty mutes tho.

 

[simplyenchantin]

I read something about them using pigments.. I think it looks cool haha.

 

[MrsMay]

My husband was sick a week ago, so I've been fighting it off since then. Just when I start feeling better, I begin to feel crap. Not full blown cold yet. I wish it would hurry up and either develop and be done with, or go away entirely together! (latter preferred)

So Nat, is Solar White e/s worth it (as a highlight)?
I only use Shroom, Retrospeck & Vanilla (sometimes White Frost too).

CM we're on the same page again! I went for a green and gold look today too! I think we have similar colours that we like and suit us. I haven't posted my look much in the last few weeks cos I haven't worn as much MAC cos I'm trying other brands allot for my kit.


So a greeny gold look for today! Pretty simple but suitable for work.

Random Gold e/s from Sports girl - Inner half lid
Gorgeous - Mint Julip - Kinda mid tone green with gold, really pretty with a frost finish - Outer half lid

I shoud hey! It's just never take note of what colours are called and its sometimes hard to describe.

I did try a Revlon quad for the first time that I bought a couple of months ago in a discount shop in GC and I am in love

They just look really pale yellow, blue and pink with a white but I never got around to swatching them til this week and they have the most amazing pearl to them! I'll post a pic if I can get my crappy camera to pick up the colours

Don't you just hate that? Let me guess, your hubby feels a lot better now after passing you the cold, right?

Pass me the germs! It is so cold here, I could do with staying in bed till afternoon!

LOL.. I haven't used Solar White as a highlight yet. I used it on lid and now I can't remember. I used to use Vanilla as a highlight everyday, but now hardly use it. Prefer skintone pigment instead as it gives nicer sheen

 

[rockin26]

Hey Nat do you press your pigments??

 

[sambibabe]

^^ no, I am too lazy!!
I store them in sample jars and use their lids to pick up/tap off pigments.

 

[rockin26]

Yeah I'll probably be the same although I don't have any full size ones yet so no need to press. Mutiny & Circa Plum are on their way, I can't wait for Mutiny!!!
