OK, probably stupid question but how is the 183 different from the 182 and the 180 for that matter, other than the obvious shape, size, and such? Like if I could only buy one which should I get? I know the 182 is for powder but some use it for foundation. Is the 183 for liquid foundation? How do you guys like the 180? Sorry for all the ???

[lilMAClady]

Can you please tell which colors are which in the photos? Thanks!

[makeupprincess]

[gracetre123]

OMG!!! this is a beautiful collection!!!...ok you guys...please I need advise here...

I was planning to buy a 182, but maybe I should get the 183 what you think??

And those powders looks amazing..in wich collection do you think I should spend my money ?

Curiousitease pigmengts.... (I don´t own any pigment.)

The Of Beauty powders are half perm, but PRO (marked below). So you could still get those shades at a later date if you have access to a PRO store or wanted to order from PRO on the phone. If you go to the PRO site there are some additional colors not being released with this consumer collection, though, slightly less "natural" shades.

Loose Beauty Powder
Dancing Light (Pro) - Creamy gold with white gold reflects.
Drizzlegold (Pro)- Fleshy beige with copper and gold reflects.
Natural Flare (Pro) - Peachy champagne with white and gold reflects.
Sunspill - Coral peach with white and gold reflect (LE)
Tenderdusk - Soft pink with red and gold reflect (LE)
Soft Flame - Rich plum with reddish copper reflect (LE)

At the same time, the pigments sets are a great buy. If I didn't already have the majority of the colors, the warm set would be a definite buy for me - some of my favorites.

Cools aren't for me, so I can't speak for that set. Haven't tried those colors.

Not sure what your budget is, but maybe you could split it up a bit. get a pigment set and a LE Beauty powder or two.

[gracetre123]

thank you so much for replay...I was thinking the same thing...maybe I should get two of the LE powders, the brush and both pigments sets!!! heheh...my budget it´s not so big...after I got all the royal assets palettes...(great buy btw, first mac eyeshadows..so happy)

I know that I want all!!! OMG but I don´t have anything from mac just a few brushes and some MSF, and I thing that this is a great way to start my little collection...anyway...mac it´s going to make me poor for the next weeks...

another Q: those loose beauty powders...the skin is going to look similar if you apply MSF?? or are this products totally diferent??

This really is an excellent year if you're just building your MAC collection. Those of us that have been building for a while don't often have a lot of use for the holiday sets because we already have the colors in the collection. I got the Metallic palette though and I love it. I love this packaging so much that I HAD to buy something.

I'm sorry that I can't exactly answer your question about the beauty powders vs MSFs. The loose beauty powders are actually a brand new product and I was waiting to see the colors in the consumer release before I bought any of the perm PRO ones - I'm on a budget too. So, I haven't haued my butt to the pro store to see them yet. From what I've hear they're sheer and shimmery with some glitter in them, which does sound similar to the MSFs. I'm a big fan of the pressed beauty powders that have been released with other collections though, so I'm excited about these and hope I like them just as much.

I'm kind of tempted by that big fat white brush too =)


Have fun!

The collection looks beautiful and I am a bit excited. I'm looking forward to trying out those Studio Lights since I've been looking for a brightener for some time. The visual is a bit avant garde which can be a good thing but in this case I don't think it is successful. Honestly I think it looks really awful! It does not inspire me to do anything gorgeous at all. I think in this situation, gorgeous makeup should have an equally gorgeous visual that makes you want to purchase and gives you some idea of how you could use the products. This totally reminds me of Captain Pinbacker (horribly burned crazy guy) from that movie Sunshine. Despite the not so great visual I'm really looking forward to the collection.

LMFAO, dead on.

[panther27]

How much are these?TIA

[gabi1129]

omfg. those are amazing! idk which one(s) i want!

[lian_qiu]

For those who are from Australia, the MA from the Melbourne Chapel St Pro Store said this collection is going to be online only.

Not sure if it applies to other countries...

[lsperry]

Of Beauty is up on the website.

I'm on the fence about these products. I'll have to travel out of town to test them and get a MU to show me how to use them. This is one time I can't order off the website......sight unseen.

i completly agree...BTW i think she loks like one of those people that grow hair all over their bodies and faces, i don't know how you call this condition/people...

[elegant-one]

Is anyone familiar with the Studio Lights - Ideal Pink shade? I have the Frangipan from before & love it...the MAC MUA suggested Ideal Pink for me but I don't live close enough to see it in person. (NW15)

[thelove4tequila]

I sooo wasn't into this collection but now that I have seen it online, ummm yeah...I'm surprised I really like it! I'm so excited about the 183, I'm def getting that!

[gracetre123]

ok...maybe a stupid question...but the 222 is an eye brush??

222 is an eye brush. All face brushes start with 1 (eg: 187, 188 etc), eyes brushes start with 2, lip brushes with 3

thanks hon!!!

[foxyqt]

umm.. the promo pic scared the hell outta me! >_<;

[jilliandanica]

I really want the 183 and 188. I just got the 222 and it is seriously my favorite eye brush!

The studio lights interest me the most. I haven't seen them in person yet but for those that have or have used them before....what's the texture like? I don't know my MAC face shade but I'm guessing I'm a NC42/NW43, what shade do you think will suite me? TIA

I LOOOOVE my 188. My 187 has taken a major backseat to it.


Another question re: studio lights...do they settle or crease?
