The MAC Makeup Thread

Ugh, died.

 

[oh me]

What are the best MAC blushes? Any recommendations?

 

[Jazzeh]

depends what you want, but "well dressed" lifts my complexion and "fleur power" is really rosy. those two are my favourites

 

[Psylocke]

Ugh, died.

I don't like the video and I think the make up doesn't look good on that model (Alla?) at all because her jaw is too wide but I'm so excited for this collection!

I hope it will be available in Europe soon. I heard it will be out sometime before Christmas but I'm not sure I can wait this long,lol. I want everything!

the mac MSF blushes are impressive. i dont own any of the normal mac blushes. none of them have called out to me over the years.

 

[oh me]

^ are MSF - shimmer blushes? can you recommend any colour? We hava a really cold weather right now, so a little bit of glow would be nice.

I also have Fleur Power, and have worn Well Dressed in the past. Also have Desert Rose, Warm Soul, Flirt & Tease, and Breath of Plum. I like all of these (they're all different colors--in order, coral, pink if I remember right, reddish, beige, burgundy-ish, and plum pink).

Came here to ask ... has anyone seen the Gareth collection in person yet? Or ordered any Miss Piggy?

 

[La bordélique]

That collection is so hard to resist... I must tell to myself that I don't need a 90$ makeup bag.

I just saw it today in person. I got the Fervent lipstick and Ardent Metal-X Cream Shadow. The rest I passed because I don't like lipglosses, Strada was invisible on me and the nailpolishes are dupable in my current collection already. The makeup bag is pretty large (bigger than my current one) and retails for $75.

I love the packaging - it's actually quite heavy and feels solid. I have jury duty tomorrow so I'll be wearing both items

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ Too funny Please update with news of whether these items got you through jury duty without getting picked.

I was at a MAC counter last night & saw no sign of Gareth Pugh, just holiday stuff. It was a madhouse though so maybe I missed it.

 

[Jazzeh]

i haven't seen gareth pugh in london either...

 

[Psylocke]

^I think it has't been released in Europe yet.

I wonder if it's selling out fast in the US though because I'm considering already ordering some of the things I want so I won't miss out on it completely in case it sells out fast in Europe, too I assume the collection is much cheaper in the US anyway.

Nope, I wasn't selected

According to Vogue.de the Gareth Pugh collection will be released in Germany in January and will only be available online.

According to Vogue.co.uk the collection was released on Dec 2nd in the UK. Not sure if it's an online exclusive there also.

Therefore I just ordered a bunch of things from the US site because I can't wait until January or longer (because we usually get things later than Germany even). I ordered all three nail polishes and the lip glass in Vacant. And of course I had to have the make up bag I hope the range will be available in stores in the UK because I'll be there after Xmas and I'm sure I'll love the nail polishes and will want to stock up on them

Can somebody suggest a MAC lipstick and/or lipgloss colour that Rosario Dawson is wearing in this picture? http://postimage.org/image/6y6jtlcft/

 

[Jazzeh]

possibly mac lipstick in modesty? ^

anyway, saw the gareth pugh in person yesterday. pretty underwhelming. i liked the packaging but that was honestly it, i didn't think that much of it was wearable or warranted the price

Syrup might be a possibility ... but it honestly looks like she has a lot of color in her lips and that's mostly what we're seeing, not the product.

 

[VivaLaLucy]

Thank you very much Jazzeh!
That picture is oddly photoshopped, so I get what you're saying fashionista-sta. I will check both lippies out. Thanks for the suggestion!

I just received my Gareth Pugh stuff. Even the packaging is amazing, I'm in love with everything. The make-up bag is much bigger than I thought it would be so now I don't feel that guilty about spending $65 on it anymore
My favorite of the nail polishes is Hyper, it's such a fab color
