The MAC Makeup Thread

[Bethy]

i bought this foundation
Full Coverage Foundation

what is the best way to apply it? which brush is best to use with?

I just use the sponge it comes with. I actually bought myself a new one the other day, I love it so much

I wear Bare Minerals for foundation/concealer/bronzer whenever I want makeup..but what is the best MAC Eye makeup? Like the best pencil, or any mascaras? I've heard YSL mascaras are best so I might go with that, but I'll try MAC eyeliner at least. What should I try?

 

[Bethy]

I have the basic eye liner in ebony & I like it
As for mascaras, I started out with the X, since that's what they suggested (here's, the descpription from the website: Mascara X builds dramatically longer, thicker and glossier looking lashes. The softer fiber of the football-shaped brush delivers maximum payoff on the lashes. Mascara X doesn't clump or smudge..). It's supposedly the most basic.
I recently bought the Zoom Lash (This instant volume mascara power-lifts the lashes into length, curls them up...builds them faster than you can wink! Precision control wand glides smoothly down lashes to provide a gorgeously silky upward “sweep”. Smudgeproof and long-wearing!), and I looooove it

i am in LOVE with their gel eyeliner, fluidlines, it stays put for almost forever

i just recently i bought the moisturefix foundation, and i really love the coverage and the feel. my skin looks totally airbrushed when i have it on + the studio fix concealer, but after maybe only 2-3 hours, i can start seeing my little spots again, and it starts to seperate(can't think of a better word). is there anything i can do to make it last longer(i already use smashbox primer under and set with powder on top)? or is there any other MAC foundation that lasts longer?

I would also recommend the fluidlines for a no budge option. It was sweltering here in London this past weekend and it's basically the only thing you can wear on your eyes that won't sweat off. Stays put like a dream.

Full Coverage comes with a sponge? I didn't get one.

 

[lizzyb831]

it's best to use a brush to apply. like the 190 brush.

PSA:

PLEASE switch out your sponges for foundations every week or two depending on how much you use your foundation.

with sponges, you're continuosly are putting the oil and possibly bacteria back on your skin every time you use it. that's not good. lol.
you'd be surpised at how many people use the same sponge with the compact until it's finished.

angela xx and Meg have you tried MACs new liquidlast liner - those suckers don't budge.. infact you have to take them off w. great care (oily eye make-up remover and q-tips)

 

[HYZE]

I love mac eye make-up, I recommend sable eyeshadow, smoulder kohl pencil and teddy kohl (what color are your eyes shugga stiletto?)

i've been meaning to check them out. but exactly how dark or bold do they come out? because i usually stay away from liquid liners because they're always too bold or harsh, especially for my bottom lids

 

[lizzyb831]

the new liquid last liners come in different colors. we do have black and brown. but we also have a dark slightly shimmery dark blue, a dark plum, and a really pretty khaki color. if you want something that is not black or brown but want some color but not too much, the Dress Khaki is the one to try out.

I tried my mom's Lipgelee the other day, and I'm officially in love. It's not at all sticky! Does anyone else use it, and if so what colors?

cellopink lip gelee is my true love!!

 

[brokenenglish]

I have it in Valentine's. Much better than the Lipglass I think.

 

[lizzyb831]

the lip gelees are nice. my faves are valentines, goldensoft, jelly babe, and sapilicious.

mix valentines and goldensoft together... mmmm.

 

[QuirkyCool]

I have lipgelee in jelly babe...love it .

I went a bit wild on the new Lure range...bought eyeshadows in Sea Myth and Mancatcher,lipstick in Lure (so nice and sheer),and Face and Body bronze Fx in Golden.

 

[agirlcalledk1ll]

i definately went crazy on lure...
mancatcher, waternymph, aquavert, and sea myth e/s
lure lipstick
dephic and haunting fluidlines (i have nightfish, but it's way too similar to blacktrack to warrant keeping it..so i'm gonna return)
bait (x2), sex ray (x2), pink clash, phosphorelle lipglasses
it was all so gorgeous, though, i couldn't resist...

 

[marysia7]

last thing i got from mac is the deep dark sundressing
so moisturizing, love it!
