MAC Cosmetics Dame Edna Discussion Part II

[darkishstar]

SWATCHES! Since I know people haven't been posting full faces, I hope this helps!

Kanga-rouge

Coral Polyp

All on NC30 my dears!
And off to post the lips only in swatches. because.. well.. you can't FOTD type faces up.

So I think that's why there's been no faces of swatches, just lips or hands. And this is also why I'm posting a full face here.

 

[Susanne]

Awesome! Thanks!

 

[darkishstar]

^^ You're welcome dearest!
You KNOW you want Coral Polyp.

No, I still think I can pass it

But Kangarouge is hot!

Wow darkish, both lippies look amazing on you!

 

[LP_x]

Darkishstar Coral Polyp looks gorgeous on you. They both do actually

I know it won't look like that on me though

You really should try them on at the MAC counter though, you never know!

I think you could use the overspray as a highlight, once that wears off you're left with a matte powder underneath. I suppose they can be used like my Alpha Girl, which is actually pretty good for blush touch ups. It's handy because it has the little mirror, and because it's light I never apply too much.

I love Heatherette too! And there weren't any stickers.

darkishstar, Coral Polyp looks amazing. Not as orange as the l/s is in tube. And Kanga Rouge is hot.

thank you so much darkishstar! based on your full face shots, i think i WILL get coral polyp

I expected it to be brighter than on the photo, but I'm happy if it isn't

It CAN be brighter. I only applied it to my upper lip and then pressed my lips together. I don't want to wear it TOO bright, but I can. I was surprised as well, I thought it'd only be like.. BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT!

I should try it brightly on though..

I didn't know I want it, until I saw the full face picture of you. It looked sooooo hot on you

, not exactly the color I had in mind but well it turned out to be a lot nicer than I was expecting

. I'm so going to get Coral Polyp too, and pray that it'll turn out to be as gorgeous on me too.

Coral Polyp looks very very pretty on you! hmmm, thinkin about it now

 

[sherox]

i bought gladiola l/s but idk how i feel about it? it's suuper bright & i don't own any matte l/s so its diff for me i just wanted a 2nd opinion on how it looks on me! sorry i don't have any make up on just the l/s!

 

[elegant-one]

^^^I like it on you! You could also put a light highlight color just on the lower pout of the lip &/or some soft gloss to tone it down if you're not totally comfortable with it.

 

[Susanne]

I like it, too! Try a lipglass over it to get some shine!

 

[GlamYOURUs]

IMHO, I don't think Gladiola is suited for people with yellow tones. The purple and yellow just don't mix well.

sherox I think maybe if you did the entire look it will look hotter and with some gloss on the lower lip!

 

[Marjolaine]

Kanga-rouge looks perfect, but looks dupeable at the same time.. Can you think of other blue-reds that looks similar? I loved that color but I should save money and I really have to start MAC-detoxing asap
