The MAC Makeup Thread

^^O-M-G, that's gorgeous rachelbojangles!
I wish I could do eye make-up like that, but my eye MU only consist of mascara. Shame on me, I know.

Did a MAC Freshwater look today. Blue eyeshadow makes me feel so girly.

It's a very beautiful and vibrant look!
What's the metallic darker-blue that you lined your upper lid with?

 

[rachelbojangles]

Oh that's actually black liquid liner. The one from Kat Von D. It mixed with the eyeshadow and looks darker.

Do they have MAC shops at airports?? Or do they sell it in the regular tax free shops? Now I'm suddenly very excited too to go on holiday.

And °Isa, I believe Mindbear mentioned that the releasing of Studio Fix Fluid in those shades is in a very early stage, it's not even been announced yet, so it probably won't be in stores very soon.

EDIT: I can't seem to find it, but I'm sure I read that somewhere, maybe it wasn't Mindbear after all who said it .

It was me! Yes, I was in the pro store and you're absolutely right. They're only testing them out right now and the pro store were all very excited about it. The girl said next year at the earliest, which is annoying because I want them now!

MAC will finally be available online in Denmark
(with danish prices, unfortunately)
Still, can't wait to shop online... The place I can get MAC is always rather crowded.

 

[The_Ida]

^WHAT! When will that be?

 

[fritze]

It will be through Magasin's online store.. from September 1st!

 

[The_Ida]

Just bought Jazzed lipstick! It is a lot darker on me than on the Temptalia girl, but I apply it over nude lipstick and BAM...the best peach/coral lip colour ever!

i bought it too i really like it when applied very softly so the colour is soft and with a bit of gloss...

and i got the cranberry eyeshadow which i love - how would you guys recommand to apply it? i have a no-brand brush i'm not really happy with...

Used MAC Parrot today. This was a limited edition one from a few years back. Also used Palladio Teal and Milani Silver Bullet.

^so gorgeous! which liner did you use in the rim of your eye?seems to have great stayin power..

 

[rachelbojangles]

Sorry to mislead but I actually had to airbrush it in with photoshop I had already applied Revlon Colorstay liner but it wasn't dark enough. And I didn't have the patience to go back in and re-do it and take another pic. But when I want really super dark black liner on the inner rims I use MAC Carbon wet with the Bobbi Brown eyeliner brush. I'll layer it over MAC Fluidline or the Revlon liner. It makes it look really intense.

[rachelbojangles]

I'm not an expert either but I quite like the 217 brush for almost everything. I use it to apply colour to the lid, to blend the crease and to apply eyeshadow under the lower lashline. It's also a great one for concealer and to contour nose/lip area.
As for the cranberry eyeshadow, I don't own it but I own a dupe from Essence. I use it on the lid with a black liner smudged underneath and I apply a darker brown/dark grey/black in the crease to blend. I wouldn't put this under the eyes because it can make you look a bit sick. Instead I would use the darker brown/black I've used in the crease.

 

[FleurDeLys]

Oops, the dupe I use is not by Essence, it's by Catrice. I always mix those two up.

Venomous Villains Collection

Both makeupandbeautyblog.com and temptalia.com have Venomous Villains swatches up.

Surprisingly, I'm lusting after the whole Maleficent sub-collection.

I'm also interested in Toxic Tale lipstick (Evil Queen sub-collection), the French Quarter Greasepaint Stick and the Magically Cool Liquid Powders (Doctor Facilier sub-collection).

 

[melfreya]

^^I kinda want everything.. Especially the Evil Queen sub collection!
