Hey everyone, I apologize if these have already been asked. But anyway... 1. I'm looking for a good highlight and a good contour powder for my NC20 skin, preferably nothing too glittery, and that will look nice on camera. 2. What are your favorite highlight/contour palettes for your...

Hi everyone, I was wondering if you could give me a rec for this lip color. I don't wear coral tones very much but I'd like to try something similar to this. Thanks for your help!

No pics, but I do want to talk about my haul! MAC (at Nordstrom's on Michigan): Sweetie l/s Hug Me l/s (FINALLY. a neutral that doesn't make me look dead! I was using half n half for ages, but it dried my lips out. This is perfect for me!) Dollymix blush Coygirl blush Twinks e/s Pink Meringue...

Hello! I have a formal event coming up in a couple weeks, and I have no idea what to do in terms of makeup. I'll be wearing this gown: And I'm an NC20 with light brown hair with golden highlights and brown eyes. Usually I'd put confidence in my own skills or go to a counter, but for this...

Hi everyone! I've been using MAC for just about a year now (I first got into makeup in general with the Culturebloom collection!) and I figured that since it's near to being the one year anniversary of the obsession, I might as well take some collection pictures! Most of this was obtained at...

Hey ladies, I've got a problem! I just found out I'll be going somewhere where I'll have pictures taken tomorrow, and I've been asked that I don't do colorful eye makeup for it. Since I'm so used to playing around with color and hardly touch my neutrals, I'm at a loss of what to do. For...

Hello! I've come to find that I'm in a complete rut when it comes to eyeliner. I have a lot of blacks and browns, but hardly any color! So far, the only colored eyeliners I've got are: Iris Accents e/k, Reflecto e/k, Ultra-Chill e/k, Delphic f/l, Haunting f/l, and Powerplum LLL. I really would...

Hi everyone, On Thursday I'll be attending a rock concert! I'm planning on wearing a skirt with black and white vertical stripes and a black corset top. However, I'm having trouble deciding what makeup to wear. I'm used to wearing lots of colors so I can find eye and lip shades to compliment...

Hi everyone! I'm awful at hair styling, so I'd really like your opinions please. I'm trying to achieve this style: Photo here! It's Emma Watson as Hermione Granger, from the Harry Potter films. Anyway, I have thick hair that reaches my upper back that's mostly straight with a little bit of...

So today, the first Saturday I've been home from college, I went to the freestanding MAC store at home! I bought: Blot Powder Pressed in Medium Dark Select Cover Up concealer in NC20 4 pan palette Brisque e/s pan All That Glitters e/s pan Softwash Grey pigment I was really surprised! The store...

I visited the MAC counter and the Sephora in Water Tower Place today! I so didn't intend on getting anything. And we all know how THAT turns out... I looked at the available products from Sundressing. Wasn't impressed. Except the fact that they'd run out of the pigments already and had replaced...

Hi there, I'm going out clubbing this weekend and I'd like to try a purple smokey eye. However, I'm not sure how to go about combining colors for a dramatic, purple smokey eye. Here are the eyeshadows I own which I think are pretty purpley and could be of use for this: Satellite Dreams Parfait...

Hello everyone, I (like many others here!) will be looking to purchase items from the Sweetie Cake collection next week. However, I just can't buy everything. I'm used to only wearing black and brown eyeliner and would like some colored liner to spice up my collection, but I'm not sure which...

Now that my final exams for the Winter quarter of my college courses, I'm finally on Spring Break and will have time to visit an MAC store at home as well as a CCO while on vacation (The CCO at Desert Hills, to be specific). Anyway, I'm looking to purchase some new shades of eyeshadow...

Hi! My name's Rachel, and I'm new to specktra.net! I'm not new to makeup though, but I'm switching from buying mostly Clinique to mostly MAC because of the color selection and just generally how it looks and feels on my face, especially in terms of foundation, powder, and lip color. I'm really...
