The MAC Makeup Thread

Wow, tell us more ...

Btw, Ida, I've been using Cle de Peau concealer & am very happy with it. It's expensive, but the texture is amazing.

I know...Denmark isn't blessed with Cle de Peau unfortunately. We never get the good stuff

I used to get mine on ebay until saks started carrying it, I think it's actually a few dollars cheaper there too but the problem is with only three shades it's hard to get a good match.

I traditionally avoid concealers; my skin colour changes so much from season to season that it isn't worth it to invest. Not to mention I don't wear foundation.

I am just glad that I have enough of Shell CCB in an old palette that I eBayed to last me a few more months; it is way better than UDPP. Shell stays tackier longer, so that blending is easier...and it's the one way to get some picky shadows to show up.

whats shell ccb? I agree that udpp makes shadow hard to blend which is why I didnt like it but I find the new one in sin is much better.

^ the shell colour cream base, i guess

 

[__neversummer]

I guess they decided to release HK early. It's online and out in stores. I got the brush set, which is pretty nice. I guess a lot of people are saying the they're scratchy. But I don't think so. they seem soft to me. Also even though it dosn't look like it the cup is big enough to fit full size brushes. I have mostly MAC, one Stila and one Smashbox brush and they all fit fine.

the mac site is down I'm not a huge mac fanatic and dont usually get excited about the collections but I secretly love hello kitty. All my underwear is HK

 

[mordant]

^I secretly love Hello Kitty, too. I told some of my friends about how excited I was for the MAC Hello Kitty collection, and I got either one of two responses: 'you're too old' or 'wow, you're really asian'

CCB=Cream colour base I seriously cannot live without Shell, however Pearl and Luna would also make good shadow bases. You can also use it all over the face (for the most part), and I like how it's designed to not aggravate acne. I have oilier lids-translation, creasing galore. The thing that I also like is that it's in a container like the blushes, so you know you can get every bit out without breaking the container. Yes, I'm vain, I have UDPP and mainly love having the package on my desk

I'm not surprised that HK is out early, I may run over to Nordie's and get Nice to be Nice. However, I just won an Oh Garnet on eBay for about retail (including shipping), so I am skipping the HK lipsticks for now, as Oh Garnet I have wanted for an age and a half.

I just recently bought a face powder of theirs from their mineralize collection, ive not used it yet, but im keen to get started with it!

 

[Trista]

Did you get one of the Skinfinishes or the foundation? The foundation, I've heard good things about...and the Skinfinishes I love to death.

 

[Guessgirl96]

I just got the pleather hello kitty and I love her. My kitchen is pink so she's sitting on top of the cabinets. I'm kind of broke so thats the only HK I got but I'm really wanting to go back and and get the green/blue pigment and grey nail polish.

 

[The_Ida]

Does the Face & Body foundation clog pores?

 

[Trista]

I wouldn't know since I am not a foundation user...however any foundation clogs my pores. I imagine that it would only because it is a thick formula.

I only got Big Bow lipstick from HK-and I am about to cancel my spot at the event. I don't really want anything else at the moment...I was totally let down. Not to mention the two lipglasses I wanted I already have dupes for.

 

[Miss Laura]

Is this available in the UK?

 

[Trista]

HK should be available in the UK...eventually.

I've just gone back on to MAC make-up. I was using Benifit make-up for quite a while. I do love both brands. Benifit is making my skin kinda dry though or maybe that could also be the horrible cold weather too. I needed an excuse to buy new make-up though . So i am loving MAC again yay!!

 

[entirely officia]

Did anyone get hk lipglass "nice to be nice? If so comments, is it highly pigmented? I want to know if the orange shows up. Can someone show a lip pic or swatch on their hand?

Thanks!

 

[lucy92]

i went to my local mac store today for hello kitty.
they did not have everything yet. they hadnt even unpacked.
they didnt even have face charts.
(i think i will go back and ask for face charts later)

i bought the lipsticks in "big bow" and "strayin'"
the lipglass in "nice kitty"
& the nailpolish in "something about pink".

my partner is not going to like all these hot pink items.
but i love it!

i may go back and get a blush later on...

^I went to the Newbury Street store yesterday. For most of the country HK had been out since Tuesday, but it wasn't out there.

It was out at Saks though.
