MAC Temperature Rising Collection (May 2013)

[luvlydee]

A little OT:
Is there a BRUSH board here on Specktra - not just the reviews - but for discussion of brushes and their uses?

Hmm good question... I dont think there is

seemed like a great idea so I opened a thread

seemed like the most appropriate place

Thank you so much!

I'm about to hit the road for a long drive. It took me 9-1/2 hours to get here and now i'm heading home. So i won't be able to join up until tomorrow or the day after.

(cue creaky old-lady voice) Back when i was young (end voice) ordinary women didn't use many brushes. We had to for eyeliner, since it was all hard cake, and brushes for mascara, since it was also hard cake - they looked like the kind that are now intended for brows on a brow/mascara comb combo-thingy. Powder puffs were for face powder - fluffy down puffs for loose powder, velveteen pads for pressed powder. Tiny velveteen puff-pads for rouge, as we called blush back then - MAC still makes some like those. Eye shadow was not commonly worn by ordinary respectable women.

But professional makeup artists - who in those days primarily served the theater and movies - had an array of brushes - most unlike those of today - often shaped like artists' brushes.

Of course things changed a lot in makeup by the early 70s. I have some odd little blush powder brushes and a wonderful old Revlon face powder brush with an enameled wooden handle from then. Two- and three-color eye shadow palettes came with tiny velveteen applicators; those nasty foam things showed up by the mid-70s.

So i never had a lot of brushes, although more than most people, since i did some theater. I went on a makeup hiatus in the late 1990s - i still wore what i had, but i was not updating. When i got back into makeup a few years ago, the vast array of brushes now easily available was all new to me. I have a generally decent collection now, but i always want to learn more.

I'm running off at the keyboard, gonna quit now.

Every time I see this Collex name I think of the song "Temperature's Rising" by MOBB DEEP for my Rap and Hip Hop music heads! Something else I love besides makeup!!

thanks for summing up the updates!

i think i probably have a surplus of most summer products...unless that fabled bronzey strobe cream is part of this collection!
i'm sure i'll change my mind about that once we find out more about the colour story. then, like the summer collections before it, i'll end up adding umpteen items to my 'list'.
but bronzers are definitely out. i have five. they're all awesome. but do i wear them enough to warrant buying more? not so much. i wear them in the summer, but not in the fall or winter.

so do you guys think they'll emboss the blush or something à la marine life?

 

[Genn]

yay!
