The MAC Makeup Thread #2

^^my skin is oily and acne-prone so that's why it melts on me

I would go for Clinique acne solutions foundations. It covers everything, stops oil production, and doesn't come off. I highly recommend it!

The 210 is even thinner than the 209. Actually, it's the thinnest brush I've seen so far.

The 210 has great reviews on MUA!

thank you! I will try it when the Estee Lauder I currently use runs out!

why buy on ebay when they have it on their website? It didn't look good on me, the colour was bit too pale for my liking

oh thankyou, i didn't realise it was still on the website! can anyone recommend a good lipstick colour that suits pale skin (and dark hair). i usually wear nudes such as myth, the only change i ever have is when i wear red in ruby woo, but i'm looking for something new!

mac do a great lipstick called Media. its more of a purpley-red colour. really beautiful against pale skin

 

[roisin]

thanks so much for the suggestions! i think i'm going to go for the 210...looks perfect!

^Thank you for sharing! I hadn't heard of that website before. They have some great, hard to find items!

This isn't a wildly specific question but I have absolutely no experience of MAC products and I'm wondering what products one would recommend for a newbie to MAC.
I'm looking into their brushes, maybe some eyeshadow and blush ones.
Thanks

 

[oh me]

marmoset,

I'm not an expert, but I noticed that the pixi2woo-girl often uses this MAC 217 eyeshadow-brush. I think I'll buy it too.

the best eye brush for a beginner to make up is the 239. it's so multipurpose. definitely the best brush i own.

 

[helen-rox]

I have to agree on the 217 brush. I work in the makeup industry and I can't go without it.

 

[PinkPrincess113]

I really want the Mac Lazy Day lipstick and Expensive Pink eyeshadow!!

 

[Petit Lucille]

are all the pigments compatible with each-other? I bought vanilla and magenta and will purchase other brand yellow red and blue, will i be able to mix them?

 

[helen-rox]

^ I do tend to mix pigments some times, it has worked fine for me

 

[oh me]

can someone recommend any eyeshadows for hazel/light brown eyes?

I already have the one in "girlie" and "of summer".

You don't say what tone your skin is ... mine is pink and fair. Some of my favorites ...

Syrup, which is pale
Strange & Exotic--I believe this was LE, looks great when I'm wearing purple
Profusion--favorite bright coral
Lady Bug--favorite sheer bright red
Capricious--more subtle "French" red
Lovemate--bright pink
Chic--softer coral
Plum Dandy, Odyssey--lighter & darker plum pinks
O--perennial bestseller

I stopped by a MAC store today and bought a sheertone blush: Pinch O' Peach and a matte eyeshadow: Copperplate. I really love both . Copperplate is such a beautiful colour for blue eyes! And they're always so friendly at MAC....

I hope you don't mind me asking.. Where in Belgium did you go to a MAC store? My parents live there, but I don't know if more stores have been opened since.. The only one I know of is in Brussels, and if my memory serves me right, it's quite small!
