Thread Starter 
Place all your Grand Duos swatches and product photographs in this thread - please ensure that your images are clear, in focus and as colour-accurate as possible! For the sake of clarity, I ask that official product images and swatches (those that you would find on a mailer postcard, sourced from MAC or posted on the official MAC website) are not posted in this thread.

Please remember that Specktra has a posting guideline that all posted images be no wider than 640 pixels or higher than 800 pixels - if your image is any larger than that, please make a text link to the image instead.

UPDATED WITH MY PERSONAL SWATCHES OF THE GRAND DUO SWATCHES I BOUGHT









and more

more swatches





ok my very last swatch. Hope this helps! thanks.... hot planet may look similar in the pan to gentle
but it is in NO WAY similar to gentle when swatched. it's more coral/ peachy than gentle






As the following are very big, i've posted links to them instead of adding the img tags to them instead.. so sorry about it!!

Re: MAC - Grand Duos Swatches - Mar 09

Some comparison swatches




Love Rock (part with veins) is cooler and a bit lighter than Gentle and (Love Rock mono side) more pigmented, darker and also cooler than Pleasantry.






Moon River (veins) is basicly the same shade as Lightscapade, while Porcelain Pink is more of a peach (than Moon River mono).

Some comparison pics against what I already have in Sonic Chic:

I'm really sorry about the flash washing it all out, but it comes out all blurry otherwise....

Top row L-R: Pleasantry, Dainty, Warm Soul, Gleeful, Gentle
Bottom row L-R: Love Rock, Moon River, Earth to Earth, Intenso, Grand Duo, Hot Planet



Closeup with no flash:
Top row L-R: Pleasantry, Dainty, Warm Soul
Bottom row L-R: Love Rock, Moon River, Earth to Earth



Top row L-R: Gleeful, Gentle
Bottom row L-R: Intenso, Grand Duo


Okay last batch, it's past midnight in Singapore, I gotta work tomorrow, and I haven't even removed the day's makeup or showered yet. This is my thanks for all the great swatchers (but apologies for the bad lighting in mine!)

Hot Planet by itself and Pleasantry vs Love Rock:


Dainty vs Moon River and Warm Soul vs Earth to Earth:


Gleeful vs Intenso and Gentle vs Grand Duo:

Re: MAC - Grand Duos Swatches - Mar 09

- Daylight no flash and no base
- NC 25
- all swatched with 1 swipe except for Dainty
- all the sonic chic blushes are in black font (of course tippy is not sonic chic)
- ? on grand duo because I forgot if it was that
