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

[lyseD]

I'm going Thursday morning to try the yellow one -- redness is my issue. I'd order on-line but I don't know if I'd prefer the powder or the cream.

None of these are to be applied all over the face. Only where they're needed.

Id like to try these later on. I went to my mac today and they didn't have them out of course. Off topic, I picked up P+P bright forecast, I've been clicking it but it seems really oily and not so much color? Does it take a few clicks before the product actually comes up?

These launch tmrw, thats why they weren't out. Yup. Lots of clicks and then it shoots out, so be careful.

Which brush/es do professional makeup artists use for loose powders like these?

I made a special trip to the Make Up For Ever store in Los Angeles so i could get the #8 Mauve Super Matte Loose Powder. (we were in LA to play a concert and as soon as we got there i drove my van load of musicians to the store) So i can pass on the lavender loose powder. But i'd sure love a compact - much more portable. And with my pink cheeks, i could use the yellow or the apricot in something... Just when i think i am strong and MAC cannot tempt me...

I love the super matte powders and with you I would love them to be in available in compact form. #12 and # 18 are is my favorite and they neutralize any makeup that leans too much on the red side. These powders set beautifully. Hopefully with the launch of the HD powder as a compact, the super mattes will be next

I went to my MAC counter this morning and I have to say I am super impresses with the yellow CC. I thought it would work but I was surprised how well.

I tried the cream and it completely covered my red cheeks. She used the lavender powder on top to brighten but I'm not sure I saw much difference with that.

Glad this is permanent. I'd be curious to hear how others like the other shades.

I went to a MAC store to check these out today. I have some areas of darkened pigmented areas on my cheeks and above my lips. At the SA's suggestion, I used the orange Recharge cream over the areas. I buffed it into my skin with the 159 brush, which I thought worked really well to allow layer able coverage. To my surprise, the discoloration really disappeared using this orange tone. I didn't need much at all. I didn't want to COVER it like a foundation, just use enough so that it seemed to disappear. I was shocked to see it gone, gone, gone. Just even complexion (with a touch of orange) in the mirror.

I used a light bit of the MAC BB cream overall to even out my entire face with the 159 brush.

Then I used a a bit of the Adjust pressed powder to set the whole look and add a slight touch of color. The Adjust is a pretty subtle color--it looked like a soft bonne mine effect. I really, really liked the look- it was pretty and glowy. I did get breakthrough glow on my forehead after about 5 hours (not surprisingly, I think the BB is moisturizing?)

One thing is that I'm not 100% sure of the longevity of the Recharge CC Cream. Later tonight, I could see a touch of the discoloration showing a bit (although a lot less than usual). One thing to think about, and play with. If anyone has any suggestions or thoughts about longevity, please let me know?

I'm NC15. Also, I tried the Illuminate/purple powder as an all-over color at the store (the SA suggested that I try it that way), and I really disliked it. It was far too cool for my warm skin. No surprise I guess, as Erine1881 and Mac Guy say, only where needed.
