Naked is not only perfect for muting the lip color, but its great to go around the outside of your lips (blend lightly with your fingers) to give them a crisp defined look. reshape - define that cupids bow It also is so perfect for concealing the ruddiness around the outside corners of the lips, nose folds & outer corners of the eyes - or wherever there is shadowing. I am however a very fair NW15. I haven't tried it on the inner eye rim - I think I would prefer a waterproof liner there. But this color is PERFECTION. I also layered In Synch & Trimmed in Pink over Naked - LOVE! Any various lip colors will be fun to try over these pencils. I only tried Pure Rose over Naked & it was beautiful - really makes the lighter lippies pop subtlely Bring on more colors & make em perm!

After reading this I may have to give Naked l/l another try. I need something to make my paler lippies pop. I do have Lip Erase in Pale. How different is the color of the liner from this?

I went to check out the collection tonight...LOVE! I had my mind set on 2 Virtues and Naked liner only. I would have loved to have RIT, but I thought since I had By Candlelight I could convince myself that they were close enough and stick to my plan...

WRONG!...

The MUA was wearing RIT and nothing else on her cheeks and it was
AH-MAZ-ING. Really very different from By Candlelight, which I wear pretty much everyday as a highlighter...By Candlelight wouldn't suit me as a blush on its own. I asked her to put it on me and I was hooked. I was so worried about it looking frosty and glittery but it doesn't. So smooth. I went in wearing a combination of hot pink eyeshadow in the crease with Ego (starflash) on the lid and the whole face combination is now one of my favs. Even my hubby was impressed with the look. Its awesome for days where you don't really want color on your cheeks, but still want some 'pop' and dimension. That's the best way I can explain it. LOL

So I ended up with RIT and 2Virtues, naked liner (the MUA also had that on under pink gloss and she said it's a must have...which I readily agreed!) and Juxt eyeshadow.

yes they do have awesome cverage and are very creamy! like elegant, i pat my finger over my lips to blend it. i'm wearing in synch with bubblegum lipstick over it today - looks very nice!

 

[cocolicouss]

I love love love these liners and I kind of want them all lol just really sucks that they are LE

 

[dreamer246]

Hmm I wonder what I'll end up with from this collection? Probably just the lip pencils.

Double Dare looks nice too, judging from swatches. I can't wait to see this collection irl.

The hubby's fav was RIT and my fav was Sun & Moon - and then for the third I just sort of randomly picked Bi-tone since I just really liked the play of the gold and plummy color on my skin. But I really, really want the rest. Maybe if I'm a good girl and stick to my GMLOL budget, I'll get the rest then.

I warned you that you would want them all

OMG Sun & Moon is my fave, too!!!! I think this one is the best and most unique of the 6

!!! I would love to hear what you think of Bi-tone! This one was

but it seemed the most glittery of the bunch

. Let me know how you like it!!!


Today was a no makeup day for me, so I didn't play with mine yet. I can't wait to see which one I will use tomorrow

Dreamer246: This collection is already out at our local counters in Singapore.
Go n check it out ya.

As a blush addict, I love love love the blushers from this collection. I bought all the mineralized blushers except Rhaspody in two which i felt was too light for me to be used as a blusher although it looks nice in the pan

Will be gettin my backup of boy bait cremesheen glass as well. So glad that they decided to repromote it as it's the best neutral gloss i've tried ever.

DH is hauling me to Minneapolis with him on Sunday & Monday for a one day business trip and I'm gonna spend the day at the Mall of America. He bribed me with some money to spend! I think I'm going to take a few items to B2M annnnnnd hit the Coach store. I have a 25% off coupon plus I need to exchange a Christmas present. There's purse I'm really drooling over. Plus I have a coupon to use at Anthropologie (I figure there must be one there). Gonna be a fun day!!

Have fun girl! That mall is amazing, love it

Now I want RIT. Look what you've done

It's a perfection on you and doesn't look too shimmery at all. Is it anywhere similar to Dainty?

the glossesare perm in the states and also here in the uk... maybe they are perm where you are! then you can have boy bait all year around!

 

[geeko]

LMD84: I really hope they are perm over in my local counter too.

Cause sometimes what's perm in the states isn't perm over here...

*prays hard...

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ Yeah, I hope they are made permanent here too. But I don't know...

I saw this collection today and came back with Fashion Scoop!

I stuck to my list but I really want to go back for Naked liner. It is like what you ladies said, it disappeared into my skin when I swatched it on the back of my hand. I didn't try it on my lips, but I believe it is just slightly lighter than my skin tone.

I like Just Superb too, but to save some money for other collections, I will pass and see how I like Fashion Scoop first. I can get the glosses again next time, I have a gut feeling that they will be repromoted even if they aren't perm here.

 

[LMD84]

i shall keep my fingers crossed for you guys that it is perm in your country!

I really like Bi-Tone. If you apply the dark rose color first and then put a little bit of the gold on top, it's gorgeous.

The Naked lip liner works really well for me. Much better than the eraser.

However, In Synch is probably my favorite out of the bunch.

I just swatched the 2.

Lip Erase (I have Pale) is waay more ivory/yellow base

Naked is more of a fleshy peach

I just lightly went around the outside of my lips & very lightly blended the line - I cannot tell you how much of a difference this makes in the appearance of your lips! I love it.

After I did this, I used Trimmed in Pink verrrry lightly all over my lips

Then, I put Creme Anglaise cs lg over it - wow pretty

You can also use the nylon 195 brush to blend the line if you want more precision than blending it out with your finger.

 

[Winthrop44]

^^ That sounds yummy. I'll have to try it when my Trimmed In Pink gets here. I didn't originally get that one but included it when I ordered (more) backups of Naked and In Synch, lol. I think I will B2M my Lip Erase!

I'm getting another Trimmed In Pink too.

Why would MAC not do a plummy violet pencil - with all the releasing of lavenders & plums

I'd love to see one--a true hot purple pencil, not a pinky-lavender, but a Very Violet-purple!

 

[Modmom]

I used Naked liner this morning instead of my usual routine of concealer on the lips....

So light on the lips. I used very little and blended as per the suggestions on here. I will be purchasing my first MAC back up

I completely agree that this should not be LE
