It's probably just cheaper to spray something on top.

At least we know it advance that the color does not go through, so we can make a more informed decision whether to buy or to pass.If they r charging me 38 dollars... maybe they should make a lil effort.... But yah. it's MAC. What was I thinking.
I will not be buying these fake ass art powdersI'm mad now.

I touched all three of these a few months ago. The pink in the grooves of the bronzer appear to run all the way through, however the gold grooves in the face highlighter are simple overlays.
thanks for the info sweetie! i think i shall skip the highlight powder now then

good to know....if a red bronzer is always a red bronzer.... then is it a bronzer? lol
i might get it if it goes all the way through. I dont like overlays. but that highlight even without the splashy stuff looks like a universally flattering color

I love the beauty of all these products but I would never buy them because I would just sit and admire the prettiness--never using the product. I still have not touched the ML I paid a small fortune for on evilbay nor have I touched the Paradise blush from SB...these are even more artistic and beautiful. I would feel it is wrong to damage it.

I want to buy all of these, but I just can't justify it! They're so gorgeous though! I don't think I would ever use the shadow, because I wouldn't want to ruin the prettiness. Also, I don't know if you would swirl all the colours together, or just be careful with your brush to pick up one colour at a time. The highlighter is beautiful, but I have lots of highlighters already. I would just want to look at it, but not use it.
I have a feeling the bronzer could work very nicely for fair skinned people. I'm approximately NW15, and I've tried many bronzers. They all pull too orange, or just look muddy on me. I read a long time ago, that bronzers that have a bit of red or pink in them look more natural and sunkissed.

Sorry, all. Not to offend anyone's lemmings, but I have nothing good to say about this collection. I really am wondering why MAC is releasing this collection. What a waste of perfectly good plastic.
The bronzer, which contains bright pink, will make one appear the colour of sunburn or as a victim of unchecked hypertension. Let's call it what it is.....blush. Yeah, I don't want that much of one colour of blush. I am also guessing that MAC will make it overpriced due to the "special" product imprinting.
The shadow. Let's see...where to start? The 2010? Or perhaps the fact that it looks like a crappy, knock-off of a Basquiat that a major retailer hijacked to put on a sweatshirt circa 1986. Yeah, I can see the gang on Saved by the Bell rocking that HARD. The colours couldn't be any duller either. In fact, I am wondering if the photographer spilled his/her coffee over it they when they took the PR photos.
The highlight powder has potential, but if there is even the tiniest of price increase to account for MAC's imprinting that simplistic design, I will not even entertain the idea of buying it.
What a disappointment.

That's probably the only reason why I look forward to the bronzer. I like the extreme sunkissed-slightly-too-long-in-the-sun look, but I agree, it's probably not suitable for everybody. I'm not too keen on the highlighter as the design is "just ok" and I know that the gold will wear off rather soon - I'll still buy it though.

I don't know not very excited, I think I might get the bronzer/blush.
