The MAC Makeup Thread

[ragtag]

^ this has been my experience as well. haha, i'm actually afraid to buy the pigments because i envision myself using them happily for some time and then having some terrible accident with a lot of spillage. i need to get Silver Fog, that one seems really beautiful.

 

[Jenner8675309]

My favorite pigment is Shimmertime.

Yeah, I was nervous about spilling as well when I first got them, but I am always extra careful LOL.

Does anyone here have problems though with the frost eyeshadowsbreaking easily? It seems mine always turn into pieces and powders. Same with my Belightful. Thats the worst, its always such a mess when I open the compact I waste more than I use because of it.

out of my 9 frosts (didn't know big T and wondergrass were frosts... look on the MAC page ) only White frost broke, but it also fell down from somewhere... all the other frosts (like vellum that I use a lot) are perfectly fine). I only had a matte (Plumage) break a bit, dunno if it also fell down or just broke from closing the lid

I love the pigments too, I posted my collection in the 'show us your makeup back' thread.

My favorite pigments are Sweet Sienna & Coco. Violet is a close third, however!

 

[exoticarbcqen]

which MAC product gives the best coverage??
I use studio fix powder and concelear stick and I want something more!!

help?

 

[ambidextrous]

Full Coverage should cover more than Studio Fix, but you could also try Studio Fix Liquid and then the powder on it

 

[ragtag]

i really like Studio Finish concealer... it covers really well and you can build the coverage quite a bit. it looks natural, like skin.

 

[Jenner8675309]

^ I agree, I use Studio finish. Use a brush to apply it exactly where you need it. Works great.

I love the pigments too. Even more than the eyeshadows. At last count I have 12 full-size jars, 5 vials, and countless samples. I also have 3 full-size jars and a vial and some samples in the mail.

My favorite is definitely Blue - it is so vibrant and gorgeous. Melon, Rose, Golden Olive, and Sweet Sienna are also favorites.

Anyway, sorry to ramble on.

^Please! Ramble on as much as you like!

Just ordered Mineralize Skinfinish in Gold Spill and eye shadow in Romp... Can't to try them.

Jenner - I have at least 15 frosts and none have broken. They have even survived when I de-potted them.

I have both and I them .. just a little tip with the Gold Spill though - it has all these BIG chunky bits of glitter which I don't like at all so I just tap my brush (#187) on my hand and they all fall off! Only downside about goldspill is all that glitter but this trick seems to work well~! Hope this helps.

^ Thanks!

I have the MSF in SunSpill and was pleasantly surprised that the glitter didn't really seem to translate onto skin.
It is much more subtle than it seems in the pot.

 

[Jenner8675309]

Then I must be highly unlucky with my frosts Oh well, its not like I still can't use them!

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ I have several that have broken too ... but only after I dropped them on the tile floor I have more frost than matte, so hard for me to say whether that's a factor ...

 

[peacelover142002]

So apparently MAC is doing another collaboration with Heatherette for early next year. The packaging is supposedly metallic hot pink.

I'm not a big fan of Heatherette's designs, but I'm sure the makeup will be gorgeous.

 

[ragtag]

^ i feel the same as you.... that collection should be interesting! has anyone checked out the new collections (online or in person)?:

Of Beauty. i'd like to try the Studio Lights...

The Stylistics. i received an email this morning about this one... i don't think it's quite out on the site yet. looks like this year's equivalent of last year's MAC Couture collection. the perfume looks lovely, but unless i knew it was refillable i'd have a hard time spending the money on it (being LE, it's not like it's a scent i'll be able to repurchase, so it would at least be nice to get use out the of glass vial). eh, i'll probably cave.

 

[Jenner8675309]

I too am anxious to try to Studio Lights. Some of the powders in both collections really look fabulous

so i noticed everytime i use my mac studio fix I break out with a zit!!!! today I was told by a dior salesgirl that macs stuff is oil based, is this true? im assuming thats why i break out when i use their stuff.
