The MAC Makeup Thread

[FleurDeLys]

I also bought mineralize skinfinish in Soft&gentle, Schroom eyeshadow and Harmony blush:

Mineralize skinfinish in soft&gentle (to use as a highlighter)


Schroom eyeshadow


Harmony blush (to use as a contour)


And this is the paintpot in groundwork I purchased a while ago, that some of you were interested in...

I applied it very heavily but you can build and blend it to the intensity you want.

Oh god, sorry for the picture overload. I have to stop buying stuff .

^I think Chanel has one too...or is that a base? I'm pretty sure that they have a white base, but it's probably not oil-free. The thing you can do is try to not put moisturizer on your oily areas if you're wearing foundation

Thanks so much! I don't think that Chanel one is available in the States

 

[*k.a.t.e*]

I'm so sad they're discontinuing the studio stick foundation! I've been using it for 3-4 years and still haven't found anything as good. Does anyone have any recommendations to what I could replace it with - another MAC product or otherwise?

 

[The_Ida]

^Bobbi Brown perhaps?

 

[Mindbear]

Yes, the Bobbi Brown stick foundation is really really good, as is the Benefit one, surprisingly, as their foundations are ROTTEN.

Btw, has anyone bought the new Mac Pro Longwear foundation or concealer yet? I bought it online and am yet to receive it.

I noticed when I wandered by the MAC store that the new Felines LE collection I guess (some LE anyway) includes a purple lipgloss, Lap of Luxury. I've never seen one before, so snapped it up ... have yet to wear it.

Random picture spam (which I love! So get posting ) - just got Naked Lunch. I know, the most boring eye shadow in the world, but it works! You cannot fail with this.

Shiny lids and looking bored!

 

[lucy92]

wow, that looks really good on you. is the "shroom" shade similar?

 

[The_Ida]

^I think so. The shade description for Naked Lunch says "Minimal pink with shimmer" while the shade description for Shroom says "Soft beige with shimmer". Naked Lunch is a frost finish while Shroom is a satin finish, so I think it is slightly less shimmery. There'd be no point in getting both I think, and you can't go wrong with either

 

[FleurDeLys]

I don't own Naked Lunch but I do own Shroom and maybe Shroom is a bit more beige and naked lunch more pink (like they describe it on the website..) but I don't see the difference.

 

[lucy92]

i was thinking about buying shroom previously, now i am going to buy naked lunch instead.

 

[SevenWeeksLater]

I got the most wonderful eye shadow today, its called Scene and it looks soooo amazing with brown eyes

 

[tifa]

i got omega, wedge, woodwinked and club e/s today. so far i'm not impressed at how wedge is showing up on me but it might be different with the correct brush on primed lids. sadly i can't test that right cos my right eyes swollen up

 

[The_Ida]

^It might be that it's just really close to the colour of your skin on your eyelids. My eyelids are really brown, and some matte shades don't show up at all. But nice colours! I want Club too! And all the others too, really

 

[Mindbear]

I've bought quite a few things recently, the feline collection had some lovely bits, but too much! I got the pet me mineralise blush, which is amazing, a beautiful peach colour that works well with a pale complexion, a really strong colour payoff. The superslick eyeliner is amazing too, the applicator makes it so simple, and its definitely water and sweatproof. The only problem is it peels off a bit if you get oily. A very strange texture actually! Absolutely loving the pro longwear lipsticks, they last. Got the pro longwear foundation too but I haven't given it a proper road test yet, I tried it last night but it went all cakey in the rain.

 

[CarolineRose]

I think I'm going to get the Indianwood paint pot . . . I used my friend's today and it looked really nice with my brown eyes.

 

[roisin]

I just got Club as well. It's so gorgeous and the perfect colour for a super easy smokey eye. I love how the green blends out into a warm brown. I wanted a "Kristen Stewart colour" and this is it!

 

[FleurDeLys]

^^Club is indeed the perfect colour for a smokey eye.

I know that this is old news, but the Viva Glam Cyndi lipstick really is as wonderful as they say! I just today received the tube that I had reserved. I highly recommend it (if you can get one..I think they're pretty much sold out).

 

[The_Ida]

^Is it the dark red one?
