MAC Pressed Pigments Collection (August 2013)

[Richelle83]

I went to my local MAC store today to see these babies in person; here are some swatches on a NW45 skin. On my list to buy now is definitely Damson and Black Grape.

Damson; Pink Pepper; Lime Ice; Midnight; Black Grape and Moth




Damson -- Nice Duochrome with Gold & Purple to me.

Crap, I don't know what to buy now

Crap, I don't know what to buy now 

Some don't look like you hoped for? Or are more catching your eye?

Ernie (

) what brush do you use with these? I've played around with a few but I haven't settled on the perfect one.

I'm curious too. Do you think a flat concealer brush would do the job okay?

 

[Debbs]

Richelle, Pink Pepper, Black Grape, Damson and Midnight!!!

I'll probably end up with these Debbs. I shouldn't be too sad as this definitely helps my budget!

 

[butterflyeyes]

Mainly the bolded. Many will be too light for me or similar to others that I have.  I'll probably end up with these Debbs. I shouldn't be too sad as this definitely helps my budget!

Oh ok. Debbs suggestions would be great picks for you then

Well, so much for waiting until my paycheck arrived. Pink Pepper is sold out.

I guess I'll have to call my local freestanding MAC and see if they can put one aside for me or see if it will be restocked anytime soon. Darn it!

Really? Wow...really didn't expect these to sell out so quickly.

 

[Richelle83]

Well damn. That's a shocker! Pink Pepper is a pretty shade but never thought it would sell out in less than 2 days.

 

[cr8zy4MAC]

Yep, neither did I. It's the only one that is sold out right now. Probably Damson and Black Grape will be next. I bet Midnight is going to fly off the shelves too!

These usually move pretty slowly. It's a pretty color but I just really didn't expect to see anything to sell out until at least a week or two at the minimum. Goes to show you can never tell what will happen!

That was weird how plum it looked on her. Frankly, my first thought was that maybe with the multiple colors she used in her eye look, it became plum from blending in all the pinks she used. Now I'm starting to wonder if she's changed her photography set up recently, because her Sheen Supreme pictures looked really different than how they looked for me too
 
It didn't remotely look like that for me, but if I can get that plum to show up, I won't complain!!! Plum combined with that brilliant yellow gold glitter would be a great combo. I'd already been thinking about using it on top of Half Wild paint pot.



I think I remember Temptalia saying she did change something about her setup, possibly lighting..... I am gonna needs more people to confirm this.

Thank you so much Erine

Indoor. Look at that glow!!!

 

[erine1881]

Wow, thanks Erine!  Is that Black Grape that is swatched closer to your thumb side?  When I first saw it, I thought it might be Midnight.  After seeing your hand, I really am liking Pink Pepper! While looking at the inside lighting pic, it seems that most of the colors look pretty close, except for a few.  What do you think?

Yes, that's BG. Theyre swatched in the order i posted the individual pots. The indoor lighting pic was really crappy, and was just to show the shimmery glow, so don't use it for colour referencing at all! I just was mesmerized by the shine! Vanilla Diamond is close to blonde streak I'd say, so depending in skin tone, I'd say it's skippable. But the others are gorgeous, and Damson most definitely has a purple base!

Ernie haha what brush do you use with these? I've played around with a few but I haven't settled on the perfect one.

If I'm wanting strong colour payoff, i use the 215 or the 214. But if I'm just wanting the shimmer to top off a shadow, i use my finger. But any flat dense brush would work. Something soft and fluffy wouldn't work so well.

The 214 is the one I had the best results with but I know technically they are pushing the 215 for it.

Thank you!

I was wondering whether those were close....

Thanks so much, Erine and butterflyeyes. I L-O-V-E something sparkles and is shiny, I'm all over that! I am trying to behave a little, but it's extremely hard to do. Makeup ... especially MAC... has a way straight to my heart. It's like a shot of endorphins! I have adored makeup ever since I was a little girl. I remember when one of my mom's friends would give me a baggie full of Avon sample lipsticks. I was tickled beyond words!

I hope everyone is able to get all the little gems that they want!

Pink Pepper looks awesome on you.

Damson is so so so pretty. :drools:

Exactly! I should have just bought the ones I really wanted yesterday!


I guess my list will remain the same based on everyone's swatches.
