Hope they don't have glitter fallout like NARS.
I love MEs

I love love love Mattenes! I actually only have two: Power Suit from Mattenes collection and Kirsch from COC Collection. I love how they are matte but not as drying as MAC's normal matte lipsticks (though I love the normal mattes too, lol!). They also last a very long timeon my lips. I really wish MAC made Mattenes perm instead of the slimshines!

Sorry to ask, but how do you use mes wet ?

Are the mattenes dry ? I have two matte lipsticks (Russian Red, that I love and Ruby Woo, that I find excessive dry on the lips, I don't like it !). Wonder if mattenes are like that too !

 

[kiss]

Hell yes!! VAE is coming back!!

I got interested in the black shadows but then I realized they were mineralized so pass.

For the MES ive seen people wet their brushes with Fix+ and then dip it into the shadow. Because they are mineralized the moisture wont screw with the powder.

Here is a really lovely look from the Tuleh Fall RTW... I believe they may have used some of these products in the show?

I am so excited about this collection! If I had the money, I swear I'd get a couple of each!

Anyway,

Blackware Glimmerglass
All MES except Gilt by Association (I'm not very keen on golden stuff)
Black Creamy CCB
Baby Goth Girl nl

Oh and by the way, this is my first comment ever, so

everybody!

(so i guess trust that the mac MUAs will be able to give you good ideas on how to use it if/when you do.) she also said that "it's meant to be very editorial." yes, it may seem strange to have a black lipstick given that the trend for this year is supposed to be bright colors that pop, like a neutral face and a bright lipstick. she said that although it is meant to be editorial, there may be uses for it and it's going to be one of those colors you'll have for years and years (because you're not going to wear it every day obviously). so, it should be interesting. and that is my contribution to the discussion. stay beautiful, and have a nice day

What did she mean by "editorial"?

I'm guessing Dark Knight is the same as Black Knight?

Oh, it would've have been awesome if they had included a black with red or black with green MES but it's oh so better for my wallet they didn't.

ps. Sorry if any of this is repeated elsewhere... I'm just so excited for this collection

Cool !!

She's wonderful !

even though you can technically use a wet brush on mes i still don't - i get the product on the brush and then spray the brush with fix+ or a drop of mixing medium. purely because if you wet the shadow itself then you have to leave it out to dry - if you shut the lid it may still stay damp and then you may get mould growing from the bottom of the shadow. maybe just me being paranoid but i rather wet the brush after and not the mes itself

well you know how some clothing ensembles in a magazine look great for that "editorial" shoot with all those different pieces, but if someone walked out the house like that you'd hear sirens in the background because an ambulance was coming to take them to the loony bin?
yeah like that.

i could be wrong about what "editorial" means or what she meant by it, but that's what i'm assuming.
like she said, it's not something you'd wear every day, but i think it's something that would go in a magazine or in a professional photoshoot... or halloween-- idk.

hopefully that made a bit of sense because that's the only way i could think to explain it.

i am SO excited for this!!! i saw this in the update book and i could swear wetting myself seemed like a possibility at the time. this collection is 100% right up my alley.

To help even further, think of magazines like VOGUE Italia, VOGUE Paris, Interview, POP, 10, Numero, I.D., Dazed & Confused, etc...

.i just got back from update and I was the ONLY person in the training that was dying to put this on! I am NW45 and was not scurred one bit. I put on Velvetella cremestick liner, Black Night lipstick & Blackfire glimmerglass! My trainer was OVER when she saw that combination. Style Black will be mhy CoC. Everything else is wonderful and I will be broke this season, but Style Black was the center of the show. The main thing that we did with the black lipstick was to learn how to use it for anyone that comes to the counter. We showed how I could rock Show Orchid if I put the black lipstick on to change the shade. So I guess if you do not plan on wearing it alone, then use it for shading purposes. I am buying 2 of everything!

 

[Rinstar]

Did they happen to show you how to use it for someone who is NW15???
I am buying both mattenes and all 3 glimmerglass, but I am pretty clueless as how to wear them!!!!

I don't find the Mattenes drying at all and I love the texture! (And this is coming from a girl who normally doesn't do matte lips because of their tendency to be dry.)
