MAC MAC Is Beauty Collection (March 30 / April 2, 2015)

[YarahFlower]

Partially my own fault, its not *quite* the shade of red I was looking for. Other than that its pretty shear and patchy, which can be worked with but I'm having trouble getting it to look red, it can pull very black.  I'm gonna keep playing with it, at my mac store this was a huge crowd pleaser so I feel guilty not loving it right away. 

Awwwww, sorry you're not liking it. I recall Mandy saying that the undertones were really deep...I wonder if drawing the line, then patting on more of the color ontop of the original line would help the burgundy flecks to show up more and cancel out the undertones...I do that technique with copperthorn to make it more opaque. ..hmmmm

you are the reason I purchased looking good today! I blame you for making it look so good

Really?! Heck and I didn't even purchase it! Hahaha, no joke, the jar was damned near empty in the store. It's really gorgeous, and on black liner it will POP! Thanks for the compliment

I've tried that so far and it does seem to work. I just wanted a bit of a smokey line, idk I obviously need practice

 

[montREALady]

Did you get one?!

No, I didn't get any fluidlines or the brush. There's still time to change my mind though. That's why I hate collections that stay around long, hahahaha!

Completely off topic but if you want a red gel liner have you tried the Makeup Geek Poison?

I have that one, and I'm super fair so I don't necessarily wear it just as a liner but I like it as a base. It is legit red lol

Went in store, got Reel Sexy and Looking Good fluidline.
So far Looking Good is a pain in the ass, I can't get it to apply the way I want it

That sucks and its crazy. I swatched it in store with another artist - she's W10 & I'm NC45 and it was perfect. It would be nice if things were consistent from production to the release. Sorry girl

Nice! Let us know if it works well. I have a hard time with gel liner & wings. One eye is double lid and the other single so one always looks bigger then the other. Been looking for a liner brush to help my crappy liner skills lol

Ahhhhhhhhh, shes a beauty!!! Cant wait to get my other brushes tomorrow!!!!

The chick used a liner brush like the 210 (what she used was a disposable though) and just swiped away. She did have to go back for more product. But even as she was applying it she kept saying, "OMG, I'm going to put this on myself after!" I feel like I'd use it more like a shadow if I get it. I think I have a similar eye shadow in one of my ABH blogger eye shadow palettes though. I can always wet the brush and use it as a liner. Yes, it's Sangria from Tamanna's:

you're welcome I've been back and forth about buying it all week! After seeing you i was like, "Yep!" Lol! I hope it looks as good on me!

I've tried that so far and it does seem to work. I just wanted a bit of a smokey line, idk I obviously need practice :haha:  

Lol, me too, I need to practice my eyelining techniques! This 267 seems like there will be a bit of a learning curve with using it. We shall see. And If LG wasn't what you were expecting, I totally underatand!

oke: you need looking good! You make it look good

I went to the counter in Macy's today and they had no idea when they were getting the brushes.

Bummer, I got denied my b2m by my counter and told no on the phone at three other counters :/ so I only got catty, pure vanity, and french twist but reaaaalllyyy wanted to grab boufant and preening

That's a real shame. I was able to b2m at the counter this morning. :/

I use Sangria as a liner! It's really pretty!

 

[montREALady]

I did...just swatches though because I had no time. I need a lavender enough that I'll go back and retry on eyes.

Yeah that's what I meant, on the eyes, lol. I think the lavender will work with your green eyes!

I think 267 is like training wheels, makes it fool-proof. You're making me think about it Yarah, stooooppppppppp!
