M.A.C. & Lorde Collection (June 5, 2014)

I find temptalia swatches to be very accurate in person, the exact same color to be specific, and i am a complete different race muchless skintone/color. I been following her for so many years. And I depend on her swatches when deciding on any brand not just mac. I enjoy looking at all swatches from everywhere, but for bloggers I decide based on her. Its not a swatch until i see her swatches. When I go to the store to view and buy makeup, its spot on identical. I know its prob very weird to others hearing me say that. But she does it for me.

I could see that. The problem is that she is closer to my skintone (she is nc25 and I am nc20) and yet things that look very light on her end up WAY darker on me. That's a major lighting problem.

YES, her new lighting even makes her skin look way different compared to a couple of years ago and the swatches are way off. It looks slimy on her like she had on goopy gloss before she put it on.

I think the quality of her swatches have improved a great deal recently, but the lighting is definitely not 100% accurate. I was looking at her foundation matrix the other day and her swatch of Studio Fix Fluid in NC25 looks absolutely orange. I just finished up a bottle of that and it looks nothing like that, otherwise I would have looked disgusting.

you would almost need a full filling in primer liner.. lol. it looks very bleedy


new term.. bleedy!

Makes me think you'll have to use a tampon to go around the edges to get all the bleedy bits off. Ick

I lIke the lipstick in T's swatch and hate the one in the Vampy Varnish,, Karen's swatch is inconclusive.

I think Karen's swatch is nicer and although she is nowhere near my complexion tone or lip tone, I find her swatches easier to reference by for myself. Looking at T's swatches I was thinking it was a definite pass, but looking at Karen's, I want this little precious. I just wonder if it'll be a Rebel dupe on me.

this would be another Uncle Fester shade for me..

I think it's funny that she says "It’s not overly dark or “goth” looking at all" meaning it as a good thing, and I'm over here like "but that's what I WANTED!!!"

OK I am so confused....I actually really like T's swatch...and then I saw VV and...they look totally different??

 

[User38]

All the bloggers swatches are always different from each others.

Yep, the only thing that seems consistent with this one is that it settles into lip lines and goes on patchy.

No I know they are never going to be the exact same, different lighting, skin tone etc etc but this is a HUGE difference to me. And now looking at Karen's her's seem a little in between the two? Hmm...

I think Karen's is going to be the most accurate.

It is going to be one of those lipsticks that will look different on everyone lol. I always find karens swatches to be the most accurate but that's just me.

 

[novocainedreams]

@Dolly Snow and @MandyVanHook Yes I am thinking Karen's may be the most accurate, guess I'll find out! I'm getting it either way. hehe.

:haha: I like the way you think!

 

[Uptownbackinit]

I think I can skip this.

the swatches just look blah.

 

[PrincessZytlaly]

I am still going to get this regardless but I'm still having a hard time figuring out what it REALLY looks like! Vampy Varnish's swatch looks soo different from everythign we've seen thus far.

Even if it looks like punk couture I won't be mad cause then I'll just see it as a backup in a different finish. You can never have enough purple lipsticks.

Same here... will be getting this for sure
