I'm looking for a M.A.C eyeshadow and lipstick in the same color and texture that Anita Ekberg had in a scene in the movie Boccaccio 70. I would be so grateful if someone would be so kind to help me. You can best see it from 04:01-04:14 in the link below.

^ You would need two eyeshadows--suggest Mylar for the lighter color. The darker color looks like Vex, but it isn't matte. For the lipstick, suggest you look at Syrup. Colors tend to pull pink on me, so it might be more this color on you.

Can anyone suggest a matte Vex-like color, or a lipstick very similar to Syrup, but more beige/nude than pink?

Thanks a lot fashionista-ta for your help. Very sweet of you.
I'm gonna have a look at the colors you mentioned.

i bought the MSF porcelain pink when it was released last week. belowen was right - it does barely show on my skin. i am going to follow her advice and wear it over creme blush (i have a jemma kidd one that i think will work fine underneath it)

still it provides a nice subtle tint of color on its own. love it!

I would really love help again. I think the lipstick that the model Tara Lynn has on the picture on the link below is so beautiful. Could anyone please give suggestion of a M.A.C lipstick that is similar to it both in color and finish/texture?

Good Lord, these Footloose ads are annoying ...

Just wanted to mention I was sent a lookbook for the holiday stuff. Let me know if there's anything in particular you want to see from it ...

I would like an eye shadow like this, that I can use on a daily basis to frame my eyes. Does MAC have a similar shade?

The bottom lash line could be Wedge perhaps? But a little greyer?

 

[katherine]

Naked Lunch, maybe?

 

[Cado]

Thanks for the suggestions, will check those out.

 

[fashionista-ta]

Take a look at Shale, too ...

 

[FleurDeLys]

Shale is too purple and naked lunch too pink imo...
I think a touch of charcoal brown (or maybe wedge for a warmer look) is your best bet!

 

[Cado]

Alright, thanks again guys, will take a look at all of them!

I'm really looking forward to the collaboration between MAC and Gareth Pugh

^Uuuh, I totally need all of that. Exactly the colors I'm looking for and the signature Pugh geometric cases are great.

Just found this promo pic, so far nothing else has come out. I didn't know about this until today! Because of this I'm totally passing on their holiday releases.

The lips look like a mix of both lipsticks: Fervent (edges) & Restrict (center) with Vacant lipglass, but I'm just guessing...

Are the cream blushes scented?
