MAC Extra Dimension discussion

Interesting- the finish on these is not quite as different from Peacocky as I expected- they look almost like a summer version
of Peacocky with a bit more ZIP to it.

 

[Mac-Guy]

It will be a bit too shimmery to be a contour - at least in the traditional sense. Though you might find it useful to contour your eyes.

 

[Colorqueen]

I would do it more as a skinfinish and not an eyeshadow or intense contour as you would with more matte stuff- very very lightly- but maybe I should wait until I test it at the counter first.

I use shimmery stuff for contour all of the time- as long as it matches the texture of what else is on the face and is done in a very subtle manner.

yeah im skipping the darker one! thanx to u

As promised, my ED swatches:



Left to right--- Whisper of Gilt, Superb, Glorify AND the last small swatch is Gold Deposit MSF to compare with Glorify
Bottom right pic is the products buffed out

 

[Sugar & Spice]

I think Surperb would work well for you.

 

[Shellcat]

No problem! I love them both...but I can NEVER have too many purple freakin' eyeshadows. LOL!

Thank you so much!!!!!! They are similar but not so similar ...mmmm it's a hard choice! To take or not to take Grand Galaxy? I also have Unflappable ..

 

[Shellcat]

Glad to help out, girlie!

I was hoping that it would be at least HALF that good! With summer tan starting to show this is coming home with me for sure!!!

Right! I really like it, and know I will LOVE it for summer!

I am currently as pale as I get at the moment, NC30. Most of the year I am NC35-37. Buffed out it gives a bronze sheen. Super pretty!

 

[MACcrazy]

Yeah, during the winter I'm about NW20 (NW15 in some areas tho) but I never get sun burt and tan really easily (I wear sun block tho!!) so I go up to an NW30 at the most during the summer, but I'd rather have it be super pigmented so I only have to use a little bit and not wast product to get that J-Lo look

 

[Mac-Guy]

It will be amazing for the summer!

 

[Shellcat]

Then Glorify is definitely for you!

Do you own MSF in Gold Deposit? I swatched them both side by side in this thread.

To me, they are pretty close in shade, but Glorify just has more of a "glowy sheen" to it!

No, I know it's perm and I have been planning on picking it up next time I do a haul but if they're similar I think I'll just pick Glorify up instead, Thanks!!

 

[Shellcat]

Absolutey!

I don't know what products to back up... I think I am good with the e/s, but may want to BU a highlighter or two.

I LOVE ALL of these highlighters, and I am missing just three of the e/s, which I will check out next Thursday.

It will be amazing for the summer!

 

[Shellcat]

Good choice!

 

[MACcrazy]

I'm wanting everything from this collection! if I succeed then it would be an all time first for me to haul home an entire collection.... so tempted!!!

 

[Shellcat]

Girlie, when you swatch these yourself you WILL go home with it all. Seriously, someone said they are smooth as butter....and YES they are.
