Place all your Makeup Art Cosmetics 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.

with fab and flashy for comparison.



and the technakohls!





give me a few minutes to swatch, compare, take pics and load the glosses and pigments.

oh, and the glitters are all current, perm glitters. gold sparkling is really just the plain old gold glitter. its still gorgeous tho!

and because it will be asked when people buy them, the glitters come in a cardboard sleeve, like HK did, but its a regular box sleeve.

TOP: Stars n Rockets MID: Satelite Dreams Bottom: Purple Shower half on top of Bare Study paint pot on NC20-NC25 skin with 3 different camera modes. You can see that purple shower is more of a burnt purple. What the camera may not show is that its chalky, very matte, and not as pigmented as it ought to be. Though the formula might be better this time around


With Flash







I think this one is more accurate as for as the swatches go, but I'm not that yellow!

Re: MAC - Makeup Art Cosmetics Swatches - Aug 09

Hi all!
Sorry I've been MIA, but here are some swatches to make it up



Top: Violet trance, MUFE#92
Bottom: Cobalt (PRO), Bang-on blue (C-shock collection), Atlantic blue (PRO)


Push the edge pigment (Sooooo pretty!!)



Top: Violet pigment, Push the edge pigment, Grape pigment, Entremauve pigment
Bottom: Top hat eyeshadow

I think the closest dupe would be Grape pigment, although there is a slight difference in the way that it reflects.

Hope this helps!
