The MAC Makeup Thread #2

[oh me]

^ it's soft and creamy, really like it. I wouldn't say it's superlong lasting, but it's ok.

 

[Jennyfer]

^ Thank you

i just bought the mineralize skinfinish natural pwder in "light medium" hope this is a good shade for me.

do you think it might look bad over tinted moisturizer? the tinted moisturizer i have now looks patchy after a while on its own.

i also got the 208 eyeliner brush. is that a good one? im used to much smaller brushes in length.

Sorry Lucy92 I don't know anything about those products so I can't help you.

I just got a paint pot in rubanesque and I really like it^^ It's very silky and easy to apply, it also works quite well as an eyeshadow base.

I have it in Medium Plus and adore it! It is my must-fave product. I use it to set my make up when I have finished. You won't regret buying it

i use this powder over all kinds of foundation, from light to medium coverage or even over bare skin to mattify. it is fantastic, very subtle, doesn't completely flatten the face but adds radiance

I really think I must be a freak, I hate the MSF Natural.

 

[tifa]

not at all i've hated lots of products others rate.

 

[The_Ida]

It just left me looking flat...I don't like powder in general though, and esp not MAC powders

 

[oh me]

it's a nice powder, but looks horrible on photos.

 

[solg]

I've been using my MSF to set my foundation for a while now and i'm quite happy with it. To me it's a perfect setting powder like tifa said

 

[fashionista-ta]

I swear by Blot Powder Light ... I have had an issue with other powders leaving me looking flat. I forget what it's called, but I tried that cornstarch one

Do you mean the Kryolan powder? The thought of putting heavy stage makeup on my face for everyday wear freaks me out
But then again I have pretty dry skin, especially at this time of year.

 

[melfreya]

^^I think she means the Prep+Prime Transparent Finishing Powder. I used that too and because of the cornstarch it worsened my acne

I think I forgot I was in the MAC thread!
Back on topic, I really want the Platinum pigment but I have absolutely no idea when or how I'd use it...

 

[loonaka]

Do you want it because it looks pretty? I always want pigments when I see them in the store but I don't like using them I only have two MAC pigments and I bought both because they looked pretty and shimmery

I think that was it, thank you! I think the blot powder is probably worse for my skin, but I can't let it make all my decisions for me

Has anybody have experiecnes with the Mac Face and Body foundation? I am thinking about buying it - my skin is good, I just blush very fast or get red cheeks when I am outside...does it cover enough for that?
It is waterbased...so can I use in winter or does it freeze?

 

[Eimii]
