I'm really digging the idea of this collection.... But I really must see some visuals for the collection though when it comes to the lips! I'm almost sure I couldn't wear a straight up black lip, it seems like a really tricky look and prob why there's colored shimmers for wearability and fun. The mes on the other hand sound like hot love on the eyelids!

the black/blackened lipglasses actually make sense, but i REALLY want to know how MAC and everyone else is going to make those black lipsticks work and i still find the idea ridiculous.
cuz srsly, black lipstick? wtf is this, The Matrix?

idk idk. i'll hold my tongue until more comes out.


LMAO! I don't know how I am going to make black lipstick work either. I guess I will have a MA do a look for me, but I am ALL OVER this collection.

I'm loving the sound of this collection. I'm wondering if a little bit of sheer black glimmer glass over the top of some of my overly bright red lipsticks, (which currently reside in the "fail box") will make them more wearable before I give up and bin them

I'm really looking forward to see how people will use this collection on a everyday basis.

The potential star of the show for me is the MES! I'm in love with the sound and the preview pictures we've seen so far. As I said on the main thread I really hope the MES are not glitter bombs with way to much fallout, that would make me really sad

Im really interested in the VAE, i've heard so many great things about it.
idk about the other stuff tho.. maybe i'll get one of the mes but black-ish lips is a no for me until i see actual swatches :p

Re: WOC: Style Black (x-posted from the MAC Chat: Style Black Discussion)

hai guiz!
like i said in the subject, this is x-posted from the MAC Chat: Style Black Discussion, but if you're like me and that's just too much for you to dig through, i'm putting it here too!


idk if this has already been mentioned (sorry there are just way too many pages of the collection discussion pages for me to go through), but i saw the mac DM this morning.
i leaned in and said, "lemme ask you something: HOW are they going to make that black lipstick work?!"
she laughed and said, "we're actually going through training for it today!" (so i guess trust that the mac MUAs will be able to give you good ideas on how to use it if/when you do.) she also said that "it's meant to be very editorial." yes, it may seem strange to have a black lipstick given that the trend for this year is supposed to be bright colors that pop, like a neutral face and a bright lipstick.
she said that although it is meant to be editorial, there may be uses for it and it's going to be one of those colors you'll have for years and years (because you're not going to wear it every day obviously). so, it should be interesting.

and that is my contribution to the discussion.
stay beautiful, and have a nice day :)

not everyone can be mary tho...
lol, im sorry-- idk why im so anti-black lipstick.
...
maybe because it's black lipstick

but when you say "fudge," that makes me think that it COULD work if you put it on real lightly with a thick lipglass that will alter the color a bit.
idk we'll see of course.

thats it!! thats the video i was refering to!! yeah its dark! there was a dark chocolate mattene lipstick that came out with kirsch and bing as well. that one didnt get much love at all. the lipstick i agree is risky but the lipgloss items with the gold i gotta get!

This is definitely an inspiration. I don't care what skintone I am....I am rocking this lip color!

I remember lots of folks doggin' the dark lippies from the Cult of Cherry collection and then when the collection made it's debut....SOLD OUT!!!

Give it a chance! Don't be scurred.

I think some of the l/s have undertones of black but not completely black at all unless layered on thick, like Lady said, the CoC mattenes.

My mom has brown skin, yet she has naturally black pigmented lips. If my mom puts on clear gloss it's like she put on a dark lip color that never fades, feathers or anything! She's one of the lucky ones.

OK WOC...i just got back from update and I was the ONLY person in the training that was dying to put this on! I am NW45 and was not scurred one bit. I put on Velvetella cremestick liner, Black Night lipstick & Blackfire glimmerglass! My trainer was OVER when she saw that combination. Style Black will be mhy CoC. Everything else is wonderful and I will be broke this season, but Style Black was the center of the show. The main thing that we did with the black lipstick was to learn how to use it for anyone that comes to the counter. We showed how I could rock Show Orchid if I put the black lipstick on to change the shade. So I guess if you do not plan on wearing it alone, then use it for shading purposes. I am buying 2 of everything!
