MAC - Peacocky discussion

[Smf16]

I used it on a friend with Prance and Mating Call (Prance on inner-third and highlight, MC all over lid and Unflappable in crease). I've also used Top of the Posh all over the lid, with Sexpectations in the crease and Unflappable in the outer-v and lower lashline. Also, Papparazz-she on the lid, Centre Stage on outer-third and Unflappable in crease. I haven't tried it yet, but I also want to try Unflappable on the lid with Ego in the crease, along with a warm brown like Saddle or Swiss Chocolate. You could also try a purple in the crease such as Mating Call or Grape pigment. I've also seen it used with Dalliance all over the lid, and Unflappable in the crease and outer-v as a smokey look. And lastly (for now), try a light color like Naked Lunch on the inner-third, Odalisque (or any good teal) in the middle, and Unflappable on the outer-third and crease.
Just a few quickies from the last few days and off the top of my head, I only just got Unflappable back today after loaning it to a friend for a couple days, so I haven't gotten to play with it a lot yet.

I would try a dark base like Blackground or MUFE Anthracite, or even try it wet using Fix+ (I've done several colors this way and it really makes a difference on this formula).

Thanks! I actually picked up Dalliance too. I will try it with that and some of your other suggestions. I also didn't think about either a darker base and using it wet. I think that will help too. I am determined to make it work for me since I really love the color. I think it is unique enough to work with.....

I'm so sorry that happened to you marajode!! I hate when my eyeshadows are anything less than perfect, but then again I think I'm a bit OCD! What I did to depot my was take scissors, the large size.I took the skinnier blade and pressed it into the snap closure to lift the eyeshadow out of the pot. Once the eyeshadow started to lift from the pot I stuck the blade from the scissors completely underneath. The eyeshadow then popped out of the pot. After that I took a candle lighter and melted the bottom of the depotted eyeshadow and pushed it out with scissors. I hope that makes sense! Really try and take your time, it will work!

I want to buy more of the eyeshadows but I am waiting on a job offer. If it goes through I am buying at least 4 more

(Moderator- if this post is not set up right, please by all means show me how to do it better and I will! Thanks)

Okay guys, I took a series of photos with some of the warm Peacocky shadows
specifically targeted toward redheads this time, as in contrast to the purple photos I posted earlier
(which I will include in the end for fun comparison)

Now I did this makeup early in the day and had some contact lens problems with the dry air in the mall
so I had to constantly re-wet them so my lids were stripped of Top of the Posh which
I wanted badly to show you all. I simply replaced with a smear of Spectacle of Yourself instead when
I got home to take the photos. In the last two hairstyle photos, I added a poorly place smear of Lucky Green for fun,
but I was in such a hurry that I didn't place it right. It should be more centered.

No other makeup was changed at all, however before or between photos.

Placement is as follows:
Prance under brow arch
Dalliance inner corner of eye and highlight (remember it is faded inner corner due to contact situation)
Spectacle of Yourself is on lid and above crease
Center Stage in crease
Lucky Green in some photos off center on lids




















Earlier photos from Peacocky

I love the one with the blonde shoulder length hair - you look like a teenager. A California teenager.

OMG !!!!!!!!! I just played around with Tweet Me a lil bit and I must say I love it not just the color but the texture. it glides on sooooo smooth (didnt even have primer or a base on). I just put it straight on my eyelid and brow bone!!!!!!!!! Literally no fallout. I even put in on wet and it was wonderful.

I cant wait to try it with a paint pot. Im so happy !!!!!!!!!!!!! I know I said I was done with this collection but im seriously thinking about Unflappable

. See what you did to me . . .Tweet Me !!!!!!

I get my black box tomorrow . . .

Thanks ladies! I decided to get SOY

As for another lippy Im going to hold off and hopefully the colors will still be around.
SOY would look amazing with Top of the Posh! Speaking of TotP... I wore today and realized how different a pink it is. The awesome thing about it is I see bronze and peach color as well, along with the pink and gold! It's becoming a fav, along with Noir Plum (its the perfect dark purple! )

When its all sunny and nice outside in a few months, I am going to be happy I got it. I always liked SoY, but I was unsure about it for the wrong reasons.
I also ended up using SoY with Centre Stage to cool it down a bit. its also going to look good with Dandizette and any other blues I want to wear. Looking at my regular MAC shadows I am noticing that SoY will work with some of them very well. So basically, I will get lots of use out of it. Check your stash and wee what you can work it with. I can't wait to try it out with Sketch or Embark in the outer corner/crease.

Thanks stv578! That makes me feel better about getting it

ShadowyLady.... I def get what your saying and I agree. I love colors like that as well, I have brown eyes with a gold color to them and love colors that bring he gold out. I just have found some colors deemed "warm" have looked strange on me. Like the bottom row in rockers and reelers from TT, all of them are pretty warm and look funky on me.

i cant wiat for this collection to launch in the uk! because wonder woman has been very uninspiring to me i shall spend more on this collection and not feel guilty

 

[Colorqueen]

I have found that using a high grip eyeshadow base is the only way I can get them to stay on me well. Too Faced Shadow Insurance is what I used in the photos I took- I applied it and then quickly added the shadows so they would set nicely. They stayed all day. But if I don't use a high grip eyeshadow base, it does not stay on me well either.

Pixie Epoxy will work too.

I am experimenting with Too Faced Glitter Glue too- and it is so far going well, but Too Faced Shadow Insurance works just as well, imo.

HELP!! I picked up Unflappable because it was one thing I really wanted from the collection...unfortunately as of now I am very underwhelmed by it. Any one else feeling like this? I have been trying to use it a number of ways but it is just not working! The quality is not like the others in the collection and it is not showing as pigmented as I hoped for. How is everyone using this? All over lid or just in the crease? Are there any bases that will make this better? I really do love the color but I do not think I should have to make it work for me with what I paid...ughhh this may just be going back to MAC..

 

[Colorqueen]

Top of the Posh is one of the stand outs in the collection in my opinion. I wished that it had stayed on my lids for the large list of photos I took but with my constant contact lens replacement with re-wetting, it did not last. Top of the Posh with SoY is a gorgeous combo!

And Noir Plum is fun too.

I hope that I can get all of these eventually, but I hope that I still like them long enough- LOL

I'm surprised its been days sinced the launch & items are not sold out online yet.Unlike Cham Pale,things got sold out within 1 - 2 days

 

[2browneyes]

I'm not surprised. I think that it's great to experience new a shadow formula and texture but that's not a huge selling point for everyone. I think that things would have disappeared by now or at least moved more quickly if the e/s colors were more original. But let's face it, at this point, any new shadows will only me about a shade or two off from anything most of us already own anyway LOL Not that that would prevent us from buying....I'm just saying If there were more 'unique colors' I'm pretty sure this collection would be just about gone by now.

 

[PonDe]

I'm a sucker for great texture eyeshadows.lol

a pity I'll have to wait till febuary for it to launch at my local mac counters

But look how prepared you'll be in making the right purchasing choices.

 

[LeeleeBell]

I have been testing out different lip combos to use with the kissable lip colors and I LOVE how they blend with my lipsticks!Was very pleased with the gorgeous berry pink I got when combing EL Stayberry and Scandalicious...quick and dirty lip swatch (sorry, have to rush out):

 

[elegant-one]

If lady gaga looked weird, then I'd say go for Vanity Fair. It's not quite as cool as enchantee, a bit deeper of a pink, but still bright imo. Having said that, I picked up both, but I know I will have to sheer out Enchantee and probably wear a more brown toned liner with it. HTH!

JJ - ^ I agree with our dear STV578

 

[Meryl]

What's the best primer for these shadows if your goal would be to disguise crepey eyelids?

I just got my order of Woo Me from Bloomingdales. I'm relieved that it doesn't look crazy on me. It's super nude with a hint of pink coming through. I can dig it. I'm just bummed my bigger order(s) didn't come today. :lol:

 

[JennsJewelz]

I just did a quick eye look with Top of the Posh, Mating Call and Noir Plum - thought you ladies might enjoy



TotP on the lid, MC outer 3rd and crease, NP outer corner, crease and lower lash line
I used Vanilla for the highlight and inner corner.
I used Lancome Artliner and Definicils mascara... nothing to the brows though, I'm sick and on my way out the door!

I also have Enchantee on my lips - love these colours together!

Sounds good. I'm looking forward to getting mine tomorrow or Thurs. The only thing I don't like about Flaunting It is the taste...kinda chemical.
