Popular MAC products everyone seems to love but you? - Page 15

All foundations excluding Studio Sculpt

GPS - Crease like mad on me and are impossible to blend in any matter

MSFs, other than the MSF Natural in Light for me. Too TOO shimmery.

Club and Humid e/s

Angel lipstick. It is sooo popular but I don't see anything special about it at all. I think creamcup is soo much better.Also The Volcanic ash mask and exfoliate. They make my skin break out! They just sit in my bathroom under my sink untouched!

Mac Stereo Rose Blush.

Not gonna lie, my skin is literally PAPER white with lots of freckles and this blush makes me look diseased no matter how I apply it. :/

Also;

Painterly. 

I've seen so many people use it as an E/S base but it just doesn't work for me.. and it's so uncomfortable to wear. Really a heavy product.

Stereo Rose MSF

MAC blushes generally just don't do it for me. I don't know why but they bore me.

Strada is the only one I love (and it's discontinued haha).

...The 109 brush....*flees out of thread*

I'm not sure this is a loved tool because I see complaints about it from time to time, but the 150 brush and I might have to finally part ways.  It is so irritating to my skin when I wear a powder foundation.  Even long after application my skin is itchy and irritated from the prickly bristles.  

Club eyeshadow - I want it to look good on me. The swatches are gorgeous. Everyone loves it. And no matter what, it just looks like I've been punched if I use it as shadow. The only use I have is to layer it over black eyeliner to make a slightly irridescent liner, and Blue Brown pigment works better for that.

For the same reason (punched-eye look), Hepcat - but that doesn't seem as popular as Club.

patina. i love how it looks on my hand. but disappears on my lids.

All the nude/peachy lipsticks (creme d' nude, creme cup, fleshpot, playing koi, etc). They just look horrible on me.

Feline. It smudges like craaazy

Satin taupe. No matter how many way I apply it I look like I have a black eye. Sigh...

I update my list!

I finally found a way to like Satin Taupe a little bit.

All foundations with the exception of the Mineralize that I love

Shroom and Swish e/s, the first one doesn't show up on me and the second is weird!

Melon pigment, yellow orange color??

Bare Study,  dries my lid, I can't blend it, and I can't apply e/s after that, what kind of e/s base is that???

Hue l/s, Myth l/s make me look dead, the best nude for me is Angel (I know it's not supposed to be but it is for my pigmented lips)

Dazzleglasses for sure, and Dollymix blush. I love bright cheeks, but I just can't stand all the shimmer in it.

MSF's usually...petticoat & perfect topping to name a few.

Beauty Powders. I have Briar Rose and Oh So Fair and feel like that's plenty for the time being. They're all a little too retro in their finish for my tastes - I do better with some more light reflective technology - MCLP, MSF, Careblend. Now, if they ever start making that Careblend formula in sheer non-skin colors, I'm going to fall all over myself to the store.

libaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa - hugs !

I use the powders as blush -- and that with a bright lip is retro, but then again retro is back.. lol.

I know what you mean about light reflective tech.. I wish it were perfected tho... but that's just me.

HIIIIIIIIII HG!!!!  Rockin' hugs right back!

Oh So Fair is the ultimate retro all over face powder for me, so I feel like I don't need anything else to top it. Not on an Arthurian BP quest. 

However, that Careblend formula is great - it shaves off 10 damn years and never feels anything but gentle on my sensitive skin. If there's a higher level to reach, I'd say add some SPF and bump up the moisturizing skin care element. We'll get there eventually - maybe by the time I need to replace my current compact.

I had a horrendous time trying to locate that Coty powder you suggested - I wound up calling off the search. :(

Anyhow, hope you're doing great, dear!

that is awesome to know! i was kindly sent one of these so i can't wait to try it out today!

Briar rose was also a bust for me. I really didn't like any of the beauty powders in the VV collection.

Face and Body foundation. I hate that stuff. It's so streaky, a complete mess.

I don't get prep + prime face: hate it

I'm not a fan of their foundations - but the mineralize satin one is nasty

MSFs I don't get....

Oh yes, forgot Satin Taupe. How can anyone make a nice smokey eye with that? I look like I got punched in the face.

I agree, I didn't like the face and body foundation either.

I can't stand the Satin Taupe e/s it looks dirty on me, All That Glitters e/s too much for me and it looks weird swatched or on me. The mascara's they have not my thing. Dazzleglass is way too sticky on me and too much glitter and the Desert Rose it's way too easy with this blush to over-do it even when I put a little on.

Woodwinked!!! It looks insanely orange on my skin! Like metallic shock orange. Not pretty!
Oh, and i dont like blankety lipstick either, it makes me look like a corpse. :p

I'm new to MAC and haven't tried much, but from what I have tried...

Fix+  --  What the hell?  Was one of my first purchases because everyone on here ranted and raved about how damn amazing this stuff is - I can't get it to work, looks like rain drops on my face.  I want to make it work for me!

Paint Pots  --  I bought Painterly, again being told it'll help stop creasing and making colours vibrant - I couldn't even get it to go on my damn lid.  Now I just use UDPP & Milk Jumbo Pencil and I'm #winning.

Soft & Gentle MSF  --  Once again - "You have to get every MSF EVARRRRR!" - Holy shit pore-city on my big pores and greasy looking as hell on my combination skin.

Prep & Prime Skin Refined Zone  --  I bought this in hopes it would help mask my big pores and control oil, like it says it will do.  I used this once, applied foundation & powder over top and it literally looked like I had a sunburn that was peeling.  My skin was just peeling off my damn nose!

Pigments  --  I bought Gold Stroke (I think that's it, too lazy to go check) from a blog sale, simply because I was uber excited about MAC - haha. I actually haven't used this because I fear mess everywhere.  I'd love to try Naked, Vanilla & Melon more than anything but I'd want them pressed - I can't justify buying a pigment jar (esp full price) I'm never going to get to the bottom of, no matter how pretty it is!

Lipgloss  --  I don't like lipgloss in general, so I haven't even bothered to buy any.  I have a couple from a blog sale, but I don't use them. :/

I'm pretty sure that's it so far - I'm seeing a lot of people hating on Woodwinked and Satin Taupe - I actually just bought these and am waiting for them to be delivered - I REALLY hope they work out, lmao.
