Bought a lot of sample jars fron MAD Minerals
These swatches are not all, but the ones I've had time to photograph so far! :P

My skin don't match the MAC foundations available in Stockholm, they're either too pink or too yellow and we don't have a Pro stand so I wouldn't know what the neutral ones look like
Anyway, I've used MAKE UP STORE foundation "milk" as a base, and applied all shadows on that, then with urban decay primer potion and also I painted a line with MAD minerals liner sealant (painted directly to skin and pressed pigment into it with a dry brush)

(If this swatch thread should be in another forum, please let me know!)

The upper spots is with MAD minerals eyeliner sealant as a base, the left line is pigment on foundation and the right line pigment on foundation + UDPP.

Re: MAD minerals swatches

Update, hooray!


I've swatched some more of my MAD mineral samples. Some of them are really hard to catch and are more vivid in real life. I'll say later on wich ones.
Anyhow, my skintone is about the same colour as UDPP. The swatches are from left: on MAKE UP STORE "milk" foundation (it's a bit too dark for me), foundation + UDPP, foundation + MAD minerals eyeliner sealant.










I thought Ponder was gonna be like three shades lighter because it's so light on MAD minerals webpage. Well it's really dark. Not dark enough to use as a crease definer but too dark to be a blush for me.




Delirious and Baby face are mch alike, some golour and LOTS of glitter. The glitter sticks quite well on this one, Baby face is harder. Also Baby face is more orange/brown, Delirious more orange/pink.




A lovely shade of purple, a bit darker and not as "clean" as Pizzazz.








Big apple is much more vivid in real life. very similiar to Rave but more pink tones. next to eachother Rave look orangey (but next to Trust fund Rave looks totally pink).




Also VERY hard to catch. Rave is much much much more vivid in real live!




The natural light image almost shows the brightness of trust fund! The two above are just as lively in real life.








This looks inisible on foundation in the natural light image, but it gives a hint of colour and when light strikes it you relly see the shine and sparkle it has.






As you may have noticed, UDPP doesn't make the glitters stick. If you're gonna use a glittery shade I'd have another primer as base. MAD minerals eyeliner sealant makes the glitters stick as well as the pigment, but it's not as good as the UDPP (won't last as long).

Thank you for your swatches, Maktgalena. I recently came across MAD Minerals while looking for a liquid transformer for powder products. After all this time, do you still like the MM Mineral Eye Shadow/Liner Sealant?  I'm hoping to use it to make eyeliners.

Brelki, do the MAD minerals indelible cream eyeshadows work similarly to MAC paint pots too?

For example, do they crease on you? is it easy to blend powder shadows on top of them?
