MAC and Miss Piggy Discussion - Page 14

I do not like MIss Piggy on me. LOL  

Is it too light? 

I do not like MIss Piggy on me. LOL  

See, it was light, but I don't think it was that, it was the tone of it, just doesn't look good on me.   Does that make sense?  It is like it is too cool.  I am going to give it one more try, and will have more indepth details later.

For what it's worth, finally, my thoughts on this collection.

Miss Piggy Pink e/s: MPP is a blue-based pink e/s with a good pigmentation if you use a stiffer brush, such as the 239, to pick up the color. The the pink is cool-based, it is a great shade for those who have a NW complexion as it will complement your natural skintone and look like a true pink-blue rather than a more warm-toned one. What I like most about MPP is the finish: although it is described as a frost, it is a pink with a subtle sheen that makes this color look elegant rather than tacky, which can often happen when a shade is overly frosty. I did not experience any issues with pigmentation, so I imagine if you use a brush that is flimsy or has very soft bristles, it might be harder to pick up color. It is not a buttery texture, which might be considered a downside, but it also means that the shade has a much longer staying power on the lid. I recommend to apply MMP over Painterly p/p as any other MAC p/p is likely to falsify and/or cancel out the blue undertones.

While it might appear similar to Feather Pink e/s from the Angel Flame quad, the most significant difference is the finish. While FP is described as a satin finish, it appears to be more matte, whereas MPP has a sophisticated sheen to it, which is pleasing to the eye w/o being obnoxiously shiny. MPP also appears to be a tad darker than FP. The differences are certainly subtle, but if you are a true fan of pink e/s, you should not miss out on MPP.

For those who are concerned that a pink e/s might be too bright, rest assured that MPP is subtle enough to be office-friendly as it is neither loud nor overly frosty. Personally, I love to pair it with taupe shades, and Performance Art e/s (from Colorizations) being my favorite shade to give MPP some sparkle w/o canceling out the pink-blue hues. Slightly dust your favorite taupe over MPP using a 224 brush. The pink will peek through the taupe, giving the eye a lot of dimension while still looking neutral and not overly made-up. It looks awesome in combination with Azalee Blossom Ombre blush, which is in the same color family. It works very well with blue eyes, as it is one of those pinks that is not in competition with blue eyes. I also imagine it to look awesome on any darker eyes.

Ultimately, I find MPP also very versatile as I wore it a few times as a blush. As we all know, there are not many blue-based pink blushes out there, so MPP serves a double purpose for those in search of a true pink-blue. If you use a 109 or 188 for blush application, it is not difficult at all to pick up color. MPP as a blush last much longer than the Feeling Flush from Semi-Precious, thus it is a great addition to this color range. MPP is less bright than Feeling Flush, allowing an easy application w/o looking overly flushed.

IMO, it's a must for those in the NW10 - 20 range.

For comparison purposes, from left to right: Feeling Flush blush, Liberty of London e/s, Feather Pink e/s, Miss Piggy Pink e/s

I am glad I read this thread because I feel that after looking at swatches, I can be happy with my pink from the Angel Flame quad instead of Miss Piggy e/s (and besides, I love Satin finish) and now I am stoked to try it over the Lets Skate PP. 

AND, best of all, I can now officially say I skipped a collection (we are going to ignore that it was a smallish one) and so I can actually think to myself that I have some will power.....well, until I freak out and go find it in the Clearance bin like I usually do

I feel Miss Piggy Pink is so different from Feather Pink due to it's finish (and it's also a different kind of pink). Here is my review and pictures again. But of course, if you don't wear pink e/s a lot, FP will probably be enough. :-)

I think I am slowly converting to liking the MAC frost finish most of all, as long as it doesn't veer into too metallic, fish scale, or disco ball territory as it is so easy to work with and really not too much fall out.  I like a little bit of sheen, sometimes light glitter, so the frost finish is really, really winning me over.  A year ago, I would have said I love Satin finish the best (well, save for Starflash, but there really weren't too many of those to choose) but now its really a close tie.  So, even though Miss Piggy and Feather Pink are both blue based pinks that are pretty close in tone, I can see how you would justify having both.  I think I will wait to pick it up at Clearance Bin or CCO prices, but I could see myself panicking and snatching it up from the MAC Goodbyes section too to even out an order for free shipping or whatever.  All in all, I sort of felt a little like Miss Piggy was a me too collection since OPI and other brands have done muppet themed ones, but I like Miss Piggy and I really like Pink so I may still snatch this up.

I am really wondering what the follow up for Wonder woman is gonna be.  Aren't we due for a special packaging collection with some cool graphics?

But I *need* special packaging.  SSSCCC is plain packaging isn't it?

the products are plain but the boxes have designs from the looks of it
