MAC Nudes & Metallics Collection (April 2013) Pro Store Only

[butterflyeyes]

Hey, all!!! I went back to lurking for a lonnnnng time here, but I figured I'm gonna start contributing some swatches/pics/reviews a little more often - nobody seems to mind a little extra enabling here, right? I was having a reallllly crummy day but when I got home there was a little package on my doorstep and it made me feel a bit better! I ordered all 4 of the metallic lipsticks, and 3 of the metallic eyeshadows (Love's Lure, Brazenly and Crimson Tryst). I LOVE them all! The pictures don't quite do the lippies justice, they're so gorgeous in person! (L-R: Dominate, Subverted, Pre-Raphaelite and Show-All) (Indoor light, L-R: Dominate, Subverted, Pre-Raphaelite and Show-All) (Direct sunlight, L-R: Dominate, Subverted, Pre-Raphaelite and Show-All) Lip swatch of dominate - I'm trying to lie in the sun to show the metallic sheen but the pictures still don't do it justice. My apologies for the crap phone photos, I'm working on getting a camera. I can come back later and do the eyeshadow swatches and more face swatches of the lippies if anyone is interested (just a little preoccupied at the moment)!

Dominate looks nothing like that on me and it makes me a little sad lol. It looks great on you!

 

[JJJewels]

Great swatches. Dominate looks great on you!

Agree. On me it looks super goth.... let me show you.

Doesn't help I am giving my real serious goth face here. And here's my Wholesome face (NW15 skin, finally a nude that doesn't look zombie)

 

[Copperhead]

JJJewels it looks a bit darker on you but it still looks very good! It looks good because I can still tell it's purple and not gothic black. It's nice on you!

Wholesome looks very nice on you too.

Thanks, girl! I still love Pre-Raphaelite the most. It's my new 90's lippie. Reminds me of my clubbin' days. I am going to be old and grey and still be rocking these dark frost lips.

My pretties are due to arrive tomorrow.

Mine too!! I can't WAIT TO DOMINATE!

Hoping to go to the pro store this week-- maybe I'll wind up with some new toys after all :bigstar:

I really like Wholesome on you.

JJJewels - I like both of them on you !!!

Lip swatch of dominate - I'm trying to lie in the sun to show the metallic sheen but the pictures still don't do it justice.

DOMINATE looks amazing on you!!!

 

[MACina]

Dominate is stunning on you, JJJewels

 

[JJJewels]

Dominate is stunning on you, JJJewels

wow thanks! I was ready to part with it too!

 

[Ana A]

wow thanks! I was ready to part with it too!

dominate is kind of a scary shade and definitely not what I was expecting when I picked it up last April, but unique nonetheless. It is not a shade for the faint at heart but I agree with the fact that it looks lovely on you (I like how the color stands out in a very good way) and great for fall

 

[ForeverJenn]

Dominate looks so pretty on you!

Thanks, everyone!!! And JJJewels, both lippies look gorge on you, too! While browsing through the images on here, I haven't seen one 'unflattering' pic of these on anyone - I'm pretty impressed at how good these look on everybody!

(Just a note, I *am* lying in direct sunlight to try to get the sheen to show up there, so in different lighting it does pull a bit darker on me... But I'm kind of a goth chick so I totally don't mind

)

I have some eyeshadow swatchy-swatches for everybody:

[novocainedreams]

wow thanks! I was ready to part with it too!

They both look amazing on you. Wholesome looks perfect. I'm also nw15, wonder if it might finally be a nude I can wear?!

Wholesome looks great on you, JJJewels! I like Dominate too, however, it reminds me of Blueberry Fizz which I found a few weeks ago in my stash and it's still good. Oh what to do...

 

[DeeDee2013]

Gorgeous ladies.

Babysonfire, you're stunning! Love the lippie on you.

Jjjjewels, pretty lady. They both look great on you. I think dominate is definitely a night on the town lippie.


My goodies are on the truck to be delivered today. Woo Hoo!

I have a new puppy and now new Mac to play with this weekend. Can't get much better!

Thank you, it does make sense but I'm curious why I can't find swatches on Instagram :s

Raizin has that burnt orangish thing under it, while stylish me looks more plum with brown undertones on my nc50. I hope that makes sense...

 

[butterflyeyes]

Thank you, it does make sense but I'm curious why I can't find swatches on Instagram :s

If you do a google search you will find swatches of it. Maybe it's not popular among those that post on Instagram a lot? It's not a new color so maybe there isn't enough excitement? At any rate I saw quite a few swatches for it doing a quick search but I'm on my phone so it's not as easy to reference them for you. Hope that helps
