No one has said that here but I have seen this with other forums. Saying how things don't look great on her or her swatches do not look accurate are not a reflection of hate, those are critiques. Please understand the difference.

 

Now back to swatches!!!

I've seen people insult her looks and say that she knows nothing about makeup on here, people have also called her a b and lied and said she stole stuff from the site, etc.  It has been going on for years on here.  Saying something looks horrible on somebody is a very rude thing to say.  People have posted pics on here where stuff has definitely looked bad on them...did anybody on here say that it did?  Ofc not...they always say it looks great no matter what it really looks like, same with swatches and stuff from other bloggers, some blogs have completely horrible swatches but again, people on here say they are great...so why only say bad things about 1 certain person and not anybody else?  There seems to be nowhere left to go online where people aren't being bullied...it's very depressing, especially to somebody who doesn't have the option to go hang out with people in real life at the moment.

...like all the Hey Sailor eyeshadows... all of mine were awesome....not sure what the problem was with hers...
My Nautical... very pigmented and not the least bit dry or chalky...all of them were. 

 

 

The saturation throws the color off, for sure. I will say she puts a lot of work swatching and reviewing, but I would love to see how a product would look on if it were applied "normally" ...

 

My Crew highlight powder is awesome and pigmented, and the only time it is powdery is if I get too enthusiastic while swirling my brush around. I dont get powdery if I just dab a brush onto it, so I smh'd a bit when I read T's review.

If people NOT talking trash about someone on the internet is depressing you then maybe you need a Specktra break, no? Just a thought. I think the we can stop beating the dead horse now.

I LOVE makeup but I'm no hardcore MUA. I try to perfect my techniques everyday, but sometimes I don't really now how to get the best out of a product! I am planning on getting Earthshine but not TOO sure on how I will use it haha. I am nw35 so not sure how it would look as a contour/blush/highlighter. 

You could ask the MUA in the store if you can apply Earthshine with a 184 brush yourself. That way you can see if you're able to work with it. The MUA's should have all the brushes they sell in a brush belt so you can try them.

I love my Mac brushes. I have seen a lot of reviews on sigma brushes and from comparing pictures and vids of those and Mac brushes, the Mac brushes seem to be of better quality. You do pay more though so if you want to get Mac brushes depends on how much you want a good quality brush, Also deciding on which brushes you want to get depends on the looks you like to do.

I think the 239 and 217 are the most essential eye brushes, but if you have a basic paddle and blending brush that you really like they might not be worth it. Is there something that you like to do with your make up, but that you have problems with?

here is another one (stratus)... please excuse the derp-face.

I *think* they look bad because theyre just so heavily applied. Nothing looks great when its spackled on, really.

 

What I dont get is how there is "no Coral" in Center of the Universe. Her swatch looks coral to me, for sure.  I dont see pink as the major color, and it is too light to be orange. It might be buildable to an orange finish though.

 

Not unless coral looks totally different from what I thought it has always looked.

I own quite a lot of MAC brushes, and I must say that I find the Sigma "dupes" not really comparable in quality. The sigmax brushes (F80, F82 etcetera) are very good though :)

I'm trying to tell myself that there are a lot of other beautiful glosses coming out in the next months, for example the Cremesheen&Pearl ones, so I focus on the mineralize products, they are way more unique IMO.

Good point. Thanks for not enabling me hahaha :) What collections do you think will have the nicer LGs ? I wasn't really looking forward to Marilyn Monroe..

They are in the UPS truck right now. I keep on walking to the door to see if he's finally parked in front but no such luck yet!

Liesierre, Stratus looks so beautiful on you that I think I will have to try it out! What did you use to apply it??

I have been wondering that! I'm being fickle/stingy with getting a MAC brush but with the quickness of lightening I'll buy a Sigma setbangin.gif  Since you own so many, can you give me some rec's for a few MAC brushes?

as long as you apply it lightly, it is a really good bronzer/contour color...

I honestly think there is a difference between a "statement of fact" and "insulting" or "name calling". But as stated before, this is all relative. Not everyone will like the same thing/person, and there will always be differences of opinion.

 

Other people are entitled to have their opinions, in the same way you are. If you keep on jumping in to defend someone because someone voiced out their opinion, this topic will be derailed.

 

Youve made it really clear that you are a fan. I believe other people who arent a fan have the right to be heard as well.

I'm glad i didn't get a Sigma set and just enjoyed my Mac brushes:) Maybe I'll get some sigmax brushes, but i like my 130 for foundation, so maybe i don't need them.

I can honestly say that I've seen a couple people be flat out rude about T on these forums (also saw him/her tweet something rude about some Specktrettes) but those people haven't been active in this thread in quite some time. So while your statement has some merit, I don't feel like it should be targeted towards the people who are merely stating their opinions on what does/doesn't look good on T.

That is a great idea!
post #3384 of 7900
Just got my black box.just started with stratus and earthshine. Stratus is soo soo pigmented. It is like a 500x intensified version of nars love joy. Even woc have to be careful with this one but I am really I pressed with the quality now I am bummed for not getting supernova. Earthshine didn't get a really nice swirl mostly brown and gold with very little of the darker color. However not shimmery at all a would be an excellent bronzer.my next step might be an mes however will wait for a free shipping code.

The 130 was one of my favorite brushes until I got the F80. Wow...

 

I just ordered some travelling sets and I heard that the quality of those is comparable to the full sized ones. Overall, I find them rather crappy. They keep bleeding when I wash them and their version of the MAC 165 totally misses its purpose. Some brushes are fine though, but the Sigmax brushes are among my faves...

 

Edit: correct, I meant the 138.

I agree! I have a couple of Sigma brushes and the Sigmaxx line is pretty good, especially the line of small, detail brushes. The rest of the supposed MAC dupes arent all that great - the 224 dupe sheds like crazy, and the 168 dupe's brush head is already loose after 2 washings. Sad.
