MAC Prep + Prime CC Colour Correct (February 6, 2014)

[emzy]

Definitely want to try one of these! (not sure which one though lol) They remind me of the UD ultra definition loose powders (which I also want to try)

I love the yellow based P&p i got last year for SPF under the eyes. These powders sound nice and id like the yellow pressed but i can get these for less from everday minerals if loose powder is an option. They sell sample sizes if anyone wants to experiment with the effect of a color correcting powder before investing in a full size MAC one.

I've been trying to find a good combo to cover my dark circles. I think the light yellow from the C&C palette in light with mineralize concealer is the best for me (I also have the PRO one in Light Peach). But, I don't know if I'd like to put powder under my eyes.

I might get something, probably the yellow one for my facial reddness.

Thank you, Naomi! I will probably get the yellow and lavender to start. I'm excited about trying these out.

I'm wondering if I should substitute my prep & prime highlighter in peach lustre for this new cream in peachy beige or apricot? I use the highlighter only to eliminate my dark circles under my eyes which does a great job but if there's something better, why not!

If im trying to get rid of under eye dark circles and dullness from my skin which of the four is my best option? Also my skin is uneven.

Is your skin warm toned or cool toned?

Are your undereye circles brownish or blue/purple-ish?

The answers will help determine which are best for you.

What I really want is the photoshop done on the models!

my undertone is very pink. My undereye circles are dark purple with blackish. I hope this helps. Thank you for the help. I actually have under eyes like the little girl from the 1993 version of a secret garden.

I would love to know what the model on the right is wearing on her lip and eyes. I need these products!

You want to get the corrector palette that came out last year rather than the P+P products from this line. I would not recommend using these products in the eye area. The SPF is not really eye friendly and the powder will dry out your skin in this sensitive area (hello wrinkles!). Get the corrector palette and mix the exact shade that YOU need for YOUR skin tone and issue. It will take some experimenting to mix the right shade, but it's worth the effort. HTH

Nope! (unless you plan to get a wrinkly undereye area).

Stick with C&C or the Pro pans.

And only where needed. If you apply it where it's not needed, you will see the colour of the product. So let's say you get a neutralize product. If you apply it all over, and not just on top of areas of redness, you will see the yellow on those areas where there is not any redness. This applies to any of the products, whether it's the powder, or the compact, or the tube.

Sadly, I've seen people (including MUA) applying it all over (cream + Pro powder). It just looks terrible when it is applied the wrong way. It is essential to know one's face and the specific issues, but when correctors are used correctly, the results are stunning.

I used to have the corrective/neutralizing? yellow P+P (whatever it's name was). Was that supposed to be used only partially or all over?

 

[Mac-Guy]

Yup, I'm trying not to put powders under my eyes (dry skin & age). Even at the expence of staying power. The only problem with C&C and especially with the Pro pans is that they crease (so I'm using as little as possible). And I don't really have that many wrinkles!

Only where you need it.
