The MAC Makeup Thread

[tifa]

not at all i've hated lots of products others rate.

It just left me looking flat...I don't like powder in general though, and esp not MAC powders

 

[oh me]

it's a nice powder, but looks horrible on photos.

I've been using my MSF to set my foundation for a while now and i'm quite happy with it. To me it's a perfect setting powder like tifa said

I swear by Blot Powder Light ... I have had an issue with other powders leaving me looking flat. I forget what it's called, but I tried that cornstarch one

Do you mean the Kryolan powder? The thought of putting heavy stage makeup on my face for everyday wear freaks me out
But then again I have pretty dry skin, especially at this time of year.

^^I think she means the Prep+Prime Transparent Finishing Powder. I used that too and because of the cornstarch it worsened my acne

I think I forgot I was in the MAC thread!
Back on topic, I really want the Platinum pigment but I have absolutely no idea when or how I'd use it...

Do you want it because it looks pretty? I always want pigments when I see them in the store but I don't like using them I only have two MAC pigments and I bought both because they looked pretty and shimmery

I think that was it, thank you! I think the blot powder is probably worse for my skin, but I can't let it make all my decisions for me

Has anybody have experiecnes with the Mac Face and Body foundation? I am thinking about buying it - my skin is good, I just blush very fast or get red cheeks when I am outside...does it cover enough for that?
It is waterbased...so can I use in winter or does it freeze?

I have probably 7 pigments that I love but never use because they are so messy. I always end up with sparkles all over my face for DAYS.
I really only use them for special occasions which stinks b/c Dazzleray (I think) is one of my faves and I'd use it a lot if it wasn't a mess every time.

Pigments take a lot of time to put on compared to normal eyeshadow..I'm really careful when I put it on my lids or else as you said you'll have it all over you face and you apartment

Of course it can cause broken capillaries, everything water-based on your face can do that.
It doesn't have a lot of coverage, and it probably wouldn't cover a lot of redness. It covers the broken capillaries around my nose. I love it though, it makes your skin look SO good

Ooooh...BF got me a belated birthday present, a 165 brush Now I DEF don't need more brushes!

LOL yes, that's exactly why I want it! I have one Barry M dazzle dust in the shade Petrol (I think that's what it's called...) and it's so pretty but such a hassle to use. I cannot possibly imagine the mess if I sneezed or something

^I know what you mean..I get paranoid just by opening the lid.

The new I Get No Kick kohl looks awesome.
