MAC - Peacocky discussion

[Shannon124]

Hi everyone! I am a newbie here. I have been reading all the posts for a while. I just had a question. Did anyone successfully depot their mega metal shadows?

 

[MAChostage]

Props to DILLIGAF for the info (and enabling) on Flaunting It. It is fabulous.

I did surprise myself by adding an additional shadow, Prance. Totally caught me off guard, it is so pretty. Then again, I am a huge Vex fan, and I can see the comparisons and comments some have made about the two.

Love Peck really suits you, Shadowy Lady, and you look great even without eye makeup!

 

[novellastar]

wooow love peck looks amazing, am going to get it for sure now

 

[FemmeFatale]

Shadowylady you look beautiful with that lip color and no eye makeup. very fresh!

The MA at the counter yesterday had a gorgeous, gorgeous look on. It was using Dandizette, a combination of two midtone browns that I forget now, and paparazz-she.
In essence it was med. brown in inner third of eye, both lid and lower lashline, and blue (Dandizette) on outer third and into crease, and lower lash line, and a bit of paparazz-she in crease, and accent the mid brown. She also used moon's reflection right in the center of the lid. The combo of colors was one of the prettiest blue and brown combos I've seen.

I kept commenting on how beautiful it was, and she showed me the face chart. I wish I had looked longer at it and had looked at the other Peacocky face charts. This face chart that she pulled her eye combo from was called "Paparazz-she". Has anyone seen the dang face charts? Am I blind and just can't find them?

I would love to see face charts. Haven't seen any on the site yet. Hopefully soon. I do see they suggest a 213 for them in the artists tools section. I have that brush from an old travel set, so I am going to try it. As far as face charts, MAC is usually on top of that right?


So I hauled Dandizette, Centre Stage, Ego and Love Peck

Dandizette is a beautiful icy indigo blue. Not a dark as Contrast, but i can rock it with Contrast in the outer V and or crease for a monochrome look. Its perfect!
Centre Stage is the perfect brown, like i said before. It will look good with alot of colors I have because its on the cool side. Can't wait to wear it with Sassy Grass
Ego was my surprise haul, I put some on my eye with Dandizette on the outer lid and I was sold. I love green and blue on my lids together. The green in Ego is pretty soft. Not very deep, on the medium side. Either way, I don't have any greens like this one. I think it looks a bit like antique green, but greener. I don't have that pigment.
Love Peck is beautiful! I need 2

Spectacle of Yourself and Tweet Me (good summer color) are on my list for my next go round, and another Love Peck

 

[Shadowy Lady]

thanks ladies u all make me blush

. I love my vampy shades and this one wears so easily and doesn't even need a lip liner which is a huge plus

 

[summerblue]

My SA had no idea what any of the colours in this collection were called.

Yes, I've noticed that when I go into MAC Stores & refer to a past color, they look at me without a clue. There's just so many for them to remember.

I had wanted to check out Woo Me in person so I went to the mall today. All 3 counters I went to were sold out of it & it was the only Kissable color each was out of. I have to assume its really nice IRL since it was sold out everywhere, so I ran home & ordered it online, hopefully I'll love it when it arrives

Its a really perfect slight pink neutral wearable nude! I love the fact that it covered my pigmented lips perfectly. I think its an awesome nude color on. Thats too bad & amazing that none of your counters had it. At least you were able to nab one online.

Ok guys, I went in and saw the lipsticks in person as I never buy lip products sight unseen. I looooved the lipsticks even more than the eyeshadows actually. I really want more of these but as of now I got four of them.

- Woo Me: ok this is the perfect nude and it goes on sooo opaque on my lips. My lips are pretty red naturally and this still covers them. Woo Me is gonna replace Blankety and Myth as my go to nude lipstick.

- Vanity Fair: this is warmer than St Germain and Snob but cooler and lighter than Pink Nouveau. Reminds me a bit of my beloved Nars Roman Holiday l/s. Great easy pink on my skintone, very ladylike and very pretty.

- Exxxhibionist: So I love all things coral and had to get this one. It's lighter and less bright than the sea of other coral lipticks in my stash.I'm gonna wear it to the bottom I think.

- Love Peck - This one is my fave but I do love me some vampy shades and can never have enough. This is very similar to MUFE #48 but longer lasting.

And here's a picture of me wearing Love Peck. Sorry for the tired eyes they're still recovering from LASIK. So no eye-makeup, just F&B (in shade N2) and Nars Sin on the cheeks:

You're so beautiful and Love Peck's just a perfect shade for you! I wish it'll look as good on me too. Did you skip Scandelicious?

 

[elegant-one]

Just ordered Paparazzshe

Maybe Prance tomorrow

 

[shontay07108]

I just ordered Ego, Noir Plum (what the hell? I keep staring at it!), Strut Your Stuff and Peacocky (for a friend). I ordered from Bloomingdales because I have a charge with them and I have 0 balance, so why not? It might take forever to get here with that standard shipping but, oh well.

I also have Prance and Top of the Posh coming from Mac. I think I will slowly acquire this entire collection.

ETA: I made another order for Woo Me.

 

[lenchen]

okay...i am disappointed with Unflappable from Peacocky, SO similar to smut, I actually like smut better

Am I doing something wrong, mine isnt very pigmented, its nice for a subtle smoky eye, i was hoping for more though...

same here smut was much, much better IMO.

I just wanted to say that I loved this look so much! My brother's band is playing in Seattle tonight, and my friend asked if I had any ideas for a makeup look that would go with her outfit, so I immediately thought of this. I wish we had a thread where everyone could post their peacocky looks, because it's so inspiring!

I bought every single eyeshadow, plus Indianwood Paint Pot (the gal that does the Fancy Face blog used it as a base for her peacocky look and it worked so well I HAD to get it, too!). I have dupes for most of these colors already, but it's the texture that really sold me on them, like so many have said. A dream to blend and work with, and putting them on wet really allows the brilliance of their textures to shine!

yes there will be improvements on textures and colours.. but not this year. Agree with you Pink Pants lady, Woo me is a soft and mellow nude

 

[elegant-one]

yes you will ...maybe me too

but we'll be purrty.

I can't remember if I already told you - but your new is so beautiful!

The swatch of it looks so gorgeous, but I wasn't sure if it would be too light for me. I guess I'll have to find out because I can't remain curious. I really hate wondering.

 

[xsuzyqx]

I'm sorry if this has already been asked, but does anyone know how Center Stage compares to Chocolate Brown pigment or any other brown perm. shades?

I just swatched them both so you could see them side-by-side. As you can see, Centre Stage is much warmer and more metallic in finish. I also swatched Darkhorse from UD since I've seen questions elsewhere about that one as well. Centre Stage is much different than each of these, imo (even more so in person; photo doesn't really do it justice!). Hope this helps!
