The MAC Makeup Thread

^ I have Hang Up too ... it's different from the ones I mentioned. It's quite a deep wine red, very intense. Sweet Succulence is more purple. I have had Dubonnet in the past, but don't remember it well?

I should probably try your powder & see. I have oily skin ... I have bought the loose powder before, but for the last few years I've been wearing the pressed Blot Powder.

Ah, okay, I guess photos aren't accurate, have to try them out myself ^^
Dubonnet is this creamy dark rusty red.

I on the other hand have dry skin, never had oily skin and stay away from mattifying products, so I'm not sure you'll like my powder...I love that it's not shimmery at all, on the matte side and yet doesn't look cakey and dry; just more even and softly diffused.

Update: I ended up getting Hang Up and Vino lip liner to go with it. My sister looks gorgeous in it and she got it too! (Her husband hates it; he thinks it's scary and sulks that "he will never get used to it" ) It goes with the dark nail polish I've been using, so that's good.

Inspired by Angelina Jolie as the beautiful villain, the line embraces shades of red, gold and brown with a range of lipstick, eyeshadow, sculpting powder, nail lacquer, lip pencils and lip glass. The Mac Cosmetics' Maleficent collection hits stores at the beginning of June.

Shut up!!! Cant wait to see this movie!

The products look great but my only problem is the packaging - It looks too child-like for a grown adult to take this seriously, obviously it won't stop some people but others may reconsider based on that fact and although the disney logo is tiny it still adds the childhood factor to it.

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ Much less so than Hello Kitty! This packaging doesn't bother me, but some of it has been really over the top.

The packaging of the Proenza products is so chic. I will probably end up buying something from the collaboration just because of that, like I did with the Gareth Pugh stuff I do think it can't hurt to have another purple nail polish, so that's probably what I'll end up with. I hope they also designed a cute make-up bag or some other little gimmicky thing for this, as well.

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ Agree, the packaging is pretty cool.

Im excited, i like the look of the nude quad. I haven't bought a Mac quad in forever.

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ Ooh, looks really good.

 

[lucy92]

i own the MAC 208 brush for eyes.

my question is: Is there a better brush for gel eyeliners?

i have a bit of an unsteady hand and i'm as blind as a bat without my glasses.

which brush would you recommend?

 

[Cado]

^The Real Techniques gel liner brush is freaking amazing.

Just an fyi that the Proenza collection is being previewed/pre-sold now--got a call from Nordstrom.

 

[fashionista-ta]

Went by to preview Proenza tonight, and ended up with the Primrose lipstick (very sheer as shown--Lustre) and the Ocean City (coral/nude) ombre blush. Lipstick $22, blush $30. I find the blush compact hard to open ... but the packaging is very pretty, just like the pix. It does show fingerprints ...
