MAC - Monogram Swatches - Nov 08

[MAC_Whore]

Place all your Monogram swatches and product photographs in this thread - please ensure that your images are clear, in focus and as colour-accurate as possible! For the sake of clarity, I ask that official product images and swatches (those that you would find on a mailer postcard, sourced from MAC or posted on the official MAC website) are not posted in this thread.

Please remember that Specktra has a posting guideline that all posted images be no wider than 640 pixels or higher than 800 pixels - if your image is any larger than that, please make a text link to the image instead.

• This thread is for pictures only - please keep all chatter and questions within the Monogram discussion thread.
• For official product images, release dates and other information, please refer to the Monogram colour story thread.

Old English Sheerspark

Natural Lighting, no flash.

With flash.

Compared to Honey Lust (because I use Old English as a shadow as well). Old English is actually lighter in real life.

Natural lighting, no base, no flash, paler than NW15.

Distinguished - - - - - - - - - - Identity

Wanted to show the caps, I do love the packaging, more so than I thought. It didn't come off as cheaply as I'd imagined.

Distinguished on lips....the Identity swatches were all blurry and I already wiped it off. Lets face it, I'm 6 months pregnant and lazy! Distinguished basically comes off clear on my lips, Identity looks similar but you can definately notice the pinkness to it. I can't wait to try these over some lippies!!

Identity (L), Distinguished (R) swatched on my MAC receipt lol the swatch I took on my hand (shown next) is bad, but ah well

One of these days I'll learn to take a pic of my hand and make it clear! I need to read the manual!! Anyway, Identity is on top, Distinguished is on the bottom.

Monogram 129 Face Brush (Special Edition, not LE)

I found this brush super soft, but had some problems with picking up colors from some blush (ex. MAC pleasantry).The last picture is just a tip to keep your brush "undamaged" whenever you pull it out of its bag.
