Thanks for the suggestions, I will look at that as well.  Corals works perfect on my skin and makes my green/hazel eyes pop. 

We're twins, cuz i have green hazel eyes as well as being nc20!

Having a twin is good...not many of us Green/hazel NC20 gals...must be our European ancestries. I am learning that my ancestries may have come from the Basque region.

That makes two of us..I have german, Irish, Wales....but I have been mostly studing my blood type of A with a negaive RH, which is very rare and finding in my research that the RH negative comes from the Basque Region. Somewhere along the lines, my ancestries started out there because there is nothing that shows/proves beyond that area of France/Spain.

I was interested at first, but I think I'll actually be passing on this collection. The pressed pigments just don't really seem like my kind of product.

Wore Damson wet on the lid today with some Sketch in the outer corner and on the lower lash line. Loved it!!

After seeing the video of the MAC artist, Tiffany, working with these pigments, I loved the look so much that I decided to give the same look a whirl. Here is my end result:

It's be pretty worn on the lid with PP on the bottom lashline, with coral (pro) in the crease for a monochromatic look too!

I did a look like this. Summer Honey on the lid w/PP on the inner corner, PP on 3/4ths of the bottom lash line w/SH on the inner 1/4, Exposed as the transition, Coral in the crease, and Bare Minimum on the brow bone. Really pretty!

Which pigments did you use?

 

[mac_aiken]

I love Damson but I am at a loss on what to use it with. Suggestions? I am NW10, green eyes, red hair.

 

[cr8zy4MAC]

Awww, thanks! I used Sweet Acting all over the lid (applied with my finger), followed by Deeply Dashing on the inner and out corner, crease and bottom lash line (using the 239), followed by Jet Couture in the outer corner and a little bit more on the lower lash line. I followed Tiffany D's instructions that were on the video some pages back.

I do have to say that I love these pigments. They are so much easier and neater to work with than the loose pigments!

Nordstrom.com has them up finally, I snagged Pink Pepper to try, my first PP. Thank god for free shipping.

If I like it I will go back for more.

Pop it on the lid with vibrant grape in the crease and your usual brow highlight, currant (yes the lip liner) on bottom lashline smudge out with brown script, black pencil of your choice on the waterline, mascara and lashes! BAM!

I saw one MUA use it on top on Indianwood PP, Brule on the browbone, Uninterrupted in the crease and Handwritten on the outer v. Gorgeous.

 

[MACina]

I have to try this!

Currant must look awesome with Damson

Pop it on the lid with vibrant grape in the crease and your usual brow highlight, currant (yes the lip liner) on bottom lashline smudge out with brown script, black pencil of your choice on the waterline, mascara and lashes! BAM!

Both of these sound gorgeous!

Yay, I managed to not buy anything!
Although Damson and Pink Pepper wasn't availabe, Damson was sold out and PP hasn't arrived yet...
But I think I won't buy any of those, I will save up to Fall Collections, Indulge and Retro Mattes!
Have fun with your goodies!

 

[MACina]

That was fast

Did any one get the 215 with this collection (not a previous release) and notice that no matter how many times you clean it there is a black color (I assume the dye) washing out? I've deep cleaned it 5 times and it's not letting up on the black dye rinsing out. I've never had a MAC brush bleed (only experienced blush bleeding once with a bDellium brush I got at IMATS, which the company replaced after I contacted them to ask if it was normal).
