The MAC Makeup Thread #2

[mrsjamesdean]

I don't wear alot or need foundation so would you recommend the Mineralise Satin finish or any other ones? Just to brighten the face however I have really dark circles but reading at the previous comments about MAC concealers I suppose I'll look for another brand.

 

[The_Ida]

Face & Body is what you're looking for...either that or a tinted moisturizer

 

[mrsjamesdean]

^Thanks for the quick reply, I'll check out my mac counter and yes I've also been looking for a tinted moisturiser as well for everyday use and I just recently received a Physicians Formula Organic Wear one but I haven't tried it out. I'm only looking for a foundation for nights out without my skin suffering plus I gotta impress

 

[The_Ida]

Face & Body looks really awesome on. It's not for oily skin types though

 

[fashionista-ta]

you don't seem to be happy with it
I wanted to try it out, because the pixiwoo girls were using it and they said it's a good concealer. I love my BB cremy concealer, but I just wanted smth new

This is not the place to look for change in your life, when you have a concealer you're happy with Innovate anywhere else I like Cle de Peau ... it's expensive, but it lasts more than a year. Plus it's amazing how it disappears into your skin. MAC foundation/concealer doesn't work for me ... but it's pretty much all I use for color.

woooow, virgin Isle looks amazing!! I need to get it! Btw, I just got angel lipstick some days ago, what can I say? It's gorgeous! Does not wash me out or anything, it's lovely.

I have run out of my Carbon shadow pot and I am just at a total loss. Didn't realise how intergral to my make-up bag it was! I need to get me to a House of Fraser a.s.a.p!

Well ive fiiiinally finished my stupid mineralize satinfish liquid foundation...the idiot i bought it from at MAC duty free Changi airport told me it was medium coverage buildable to full.

UM NO! Its like a tinted moisturiser that gives me a nice glow, i wouldnt even call it a foundation.

Im off to go get me some studio sculpt. Anyone else use it?

 

[Juicy]

Soooo i got matched NW30...not a NC40 as i thought!!! I bought studio fix instead of the sculpt. Appearently not good for my combination complexion!

I just tried it and wowza, the NW colour forumla is sooo much better. I thought since im yellow toned i need to be matched to the cool tones, no wonder i looked so sallow and tired.

This really brightens my face up! So happy!

i tried to boycott MAC but i couldn't resist...i picked up shy girl lipstick today and i'm in laaav!

 

[preppygoesrock]

i was so obsessed with the whole bold eyebrows and bold lip as in in fedi ss11 and i got a lipstick from mac in PINK NOUVEUO and its perfect.. the hot pink barbie shade really goes well with the thick eyebrow thing

 

[Juicy]

boycotting usually...for me...ends in a very messy splash out.

like starving and then binge eating

 

[roisin]

^seriously!! the last time i tried to stay away was right before the in the groove collection came out...i went to check out in the groove and ended up getting almost the entire collection...its such a dangerous addiction. but this time i was trying to stay away due to the constant bad customer service...anyway i guess i failed.


i behaved though and only got one lippy...i really was so tempted to shell out the $52 for a 138 brush, but i just couldn't do it. i might get a sigma f25 instead, has anyone tried it?

 

[The_Ida]

The 138 is $90 in DK...so funny when Americans complain about cosmetics being to expensive

 

[Juicy]

i know!! ^ Im not having a go at them but like i said in the NARS thread, NARS sheer glow foundation is $99 here!!

The 138 is $105.00AUD here...yep.

I WIN!

i am absolutely loving the 266 eye shadow brush (the small slanted one). ive managed to get a precise line from it. (i'm clumsy so this is a minor miracle) i'm afraid to wash it however as i fear the bristles will fall out. has this happened to anyone?

 

[fritze]

^ nope! i've had mine for 2 years now, and have washed it gently regularly. its still as good as new!

 

[roisin]

Oh wow..us Americans are definitely spoiled!! But still, $52 is too much for me to be spending on a makeup brush right now, so I think I'm gonna take my chances with the sigma and hope it satisfies my contouring needs!

 

[SJPdeux]

@Juicy, I use studio sculpt. It is most definitely for lovers of full coverage and provides a flawless base. I find I have to take a break from it during the summer months as it can look heavy.

I went to MAC yesterday and picked up the following:
lipgelee in Sin-tillation
paint pot in vintage selection
woodwinked eyeshadow
faux lipstick (my absolute fave for daily wear)

I loooooooooove the Cham-pale collection. Was bummed that they were out of the bubble lounge lipgelee...hoping it's back in stock soon!

I'm waiting for Micky Contractor for MAC - NEED a few things from this collection, then I'm staying away from MAC for a few months!
