MAC Hey, Sailor! (Summer 2012) Discussion - Page 125

uh-oh.

For what I've seen of pictures of you, it might be a skip 'n regret situation if:

- you love a true orange.

- you love a super opaque but not sludgy looking lipglass.

- you want the mot unique color in the collection.

- want an ultimate summer fun color.

It ought to be fine on your skin tone, although it's 100% orange, with no white and no red. I don't think we're going to see something too similar coming up - this one screams summertime. It's this year's Krazy Kahuna, imo. The only anti-enable I can come up with is it might look iffy if your complexion is too cool, and it's a party color, not a run-to-the-grocery-store color. Also, it's very trendy, so by next summer who knows, it'll either look dated or by then every other makeup line will be doing it. 

i finally got my stuff.  Crew, To Catch A Sailor, and the 167sh brush.

Crew- Omg Love this stuff. I'm nc44/45 and this thing is awesome.  I swirled it around with my 109 brush and applied it above my cheekbones.  Very nice glow.

To Catch A sailor - meh, not a big fan of it on myself.  It looks like pewter type color on me. I wish it looked on me how it looked on pinkdollface but of course our skintones and lip colors are different.  I'm keeping it just because I collect Mac special packaging lipsticks. 

167sh - a bit stiffer than i thought it would be but its still is good. Haven't tried it with my msf natural but I can already tell ill like it better my 182 brush.

Thanks, it does; it's not a true red on me either. I wear it over a light coat of Red Enriched lip pencil to make it a sheer summer red.

yay! you got your stuff!!

but oh no....i was hoping to axe crew...oh oh

Totally ignoring you about crew... 

I just saw the whole collex.  I actually liked Salute, the bronzers seemed a bit too light/ashy on me.  I didn't try refined golden though.   I really wanted sun dip to warm up my face.

Just to back everyone up on anti-enabling for you..... 

Don't feel too overworked about Red Racer. It's a more mainstream red, overall - when it works, it works great, but if it's not perfect, it'll look pretty normal, like a lot of other reds. The texture is really nice on it, but personally, I had zero trouble passing on it. And besides...Ruffian Red is right around the corner, as well as Fire Sign (which I think is going to be awesome if it's that current lustre formula), and that red lip/cheek pot from Casual Color (which I'm really interested in seeing, since it's got a sort of off-bright shade that will work for day/night and any season of the year, almost a Viva Glam I vibe). Then, you KNOW there will be red in the Marilyn collection - no dearth of RED in our futures!

Those blushes are very pretty and easy to use - those are the hardest ones for me to be The Anti-Enabling Demon over. If you have the Naturally blushes and are good about layering them on in different ways, you can get a similar look, but obviously no gold sheen and a bit trickier until you get your personal touch down with them. I DO think we'll see some more blushes like the HS ones for fall - the trend is definitely going in that direction. If you get them, though, you will love 'em, so 

I'm really picky about nudes and Salute is beautiful on me, but it could look yech on some people too, so if you can't try it on in person, or if you already have a nude that's really good for summer (with not too much white, pastel look to it), you can pass. Can you wear Sheer Mandarin sheen supreme? If you can, you can pull off Salute. It needs very smooth lips, though - the texture is creamy but not too forgiving either. 

Received Send Me Sailing today. Immediately compared it to Nitrolicious! SMS is lighter, sheerer, not as sticky/tacky and not so in your face as Nitro. Don't need both at all.

Double Dare doesn't appear as true red on me, it really does look like VG Cyndi. If that helps any lol.

Thank you, Richelle83 and duckrodeo! I don't feel bad skipping Send Me Sailing now.

check it out before you axe it! lol its very pretty. Im just scared it wont look the same once the beige overspray is gone 

lol were u able to check out crew in person?  I have refined golden from last years summer collection and i love it as  blush. I havent even tried it as a bronzer lmao. 

Hey guys here's a look i did using Sail La Vie lipstick. I'm still scared to wear orange out but I think the neutral eyes and some gloss make it alot more wearable. What do you think?

Ahhh got my goodies! I immediately had to put Red Racer on I paired it with Cherry lip liner, RR applied with a lip brush. I dabbed a smidgen of Blessedly Rich in the middle of my lips to give some shine. I think I found my Fancy Red! I feel like Snow White lol

I also have Fleet Fast blush on. I can't remember what's on my eyes. I was rushing out the door this morning so slapped on some neutral shades and off I went! 

Yes! That's the reason I got Double Dare - the Cyndi lipglass looked so odd on me, but Double Dare was close to the shade but definitely more flattering, and it's a better match for the Cyndi lipstick IMO. 

Oh good They're not exact dupes, but I agree that there is no need to own both of them

my nordies rep didn't put salute in my bag.  Hope I can get it tomorrow. 

I LOVE RIVIERA LIFE OMG, it is beautiful.

Fleet flash, love...  I need to compare it to SUR, it seems like it is the same Mauve family.

Send me sailing,  definitely love this over red racer. 

The pencils, well I have a blue cake liner like the blue.  I only prolly needed the gold and green.

Too bad the beige is oversplay. I'm not 100% sold on Crew yet. How do you girls and gents like Crew?

Flawless! I wish I could rock neutrals like you do.

Gorgeous look, duckrodeo!

Hope I'll get Red Racer tomorrow! Red lips make me feel like Snow White, too!

I love the brush. I've been using it to apply nude on board. You guys are making me want to go back and get Riviera *must resist temptation*

Aww thanks. This look is really quite simple. Did you get Sail la vie. would love to see it on your coloring 

This look on you is just perfection!  Your lips are the cutest shape!  I TOLD you I like ALL lippies on you... MY GOODNESS!!  I can't wait to see you in SLV!

Wow you look great wearing Red racer. Makes me regret skipping. And you totally look like snow white! 

Would love to see how salute looks on your skintone. Fleet fast is gorgeous but it sold out before i could get it :( 

thank you sugar. 

sorry for all the posts trying to get a hang of multi posts lol 

You're gorgeous! I'm going to try Samoa Silk with SLV as well. I always forget about Samoa Silk.

Red Racer is gorgeous on you! I agree that every lipstick looks great on you! I also wore Fleet Fast on my cheeks when i was wearing RR. I think it works great with it.

I was trying to stay away from the few things I still want from this collection, but I just found out I passed my 3rd year of medical school

I'm so happy that I feel like getting some MAC to reward myself haha!
