Hmm... I love my CCB in Pearl. I dont know much what to use it for besides browbone and cheek highlight.

What else do you suggest?

I use it every day to highlight my tear duct.
Just about anywhere I want to highlight, basically. I love it as a base under gold shadows, or all over the lid but very sheer.
It's my go to product when I am to lazy to really do my makeup, and just want something really quick and easy

#189 Brush- Hands down my favorite MAC brush! This applies my MSFN like a dream. The brush tips are chiseled so I never have a problem getting into those small areas of my face like the sides of my nose and the inner corners of my eyes. I also love the weight of this brush, it has a good "heft" and feels balanced in my hand and somehow glamourous to use! My HG for face powders.

Fast Response Eye Cream- I usually apply my foundation first then do my eye makeup, so I use a little dab of this on a Q-tip to clean up any eye makeup mistakes like mascara dots if they get on my skin, it wipes off the "oops" without budging my foundation underneath. Love this!

Soft Brown e/s- My HG everyday crease shadow!

- Tinted lip conditioners. I wear these everyday. They feel really good on the lips and add nice, subtle color
- Wedge eyeshadow. People mention it for contouring, but I love it for neutral looks.
- 316. This is the perfect lip brush. Love it!

I thought of a few more.

Stripdown lipliner. Great for a true nude lip.
Eyelash curler. I don't have the Shu Uemura one but I love Mac's.
Prep and Prime lip. Improves staying power for strong colors!

1. Print e/s - I use it to smoke out any pink/purple look during the day. The only e/s I've hit the pan on.
2. Please Me l/s - I really don't see much love for this. It's the most gorgeous light pink l/s and I love the matte texture.
3. Pink Opal p/m - great for highlighting brow bones, cheekbones....I also love it as an everyday lid colour on top of Fresco Rose p/p


Is please me darker than Snob l/s? I only have snob but I want to get Please me too

I don't have Snob but I've seen it in and swatched them both side by side. Please Me is lighter and cooler, Snob has some mauve tones in it. They don't look similar IMO

Most underrated;

Cosmo l/s. I don't hear much about this one but it's so wearable. There's a very popular Rimmel l/g called Snog. I would say this is the l/s version of that.

Smut e/s. LOVE LOVE LOVE this e/s. It's simply gorgeous and a dream to apply. Like a soft black/dark brown with taupe and mauve undertones. It's dark enough as a eyeliner and I'm asian with dark eyes and C35 complexion.

Blushcremes. There's mention of Brit Wit and I agree. I think Blushcremes are wonderful and really give a nice dewy glow without actually using a highlighter.

Lipgelees. Feel sooooo good on the lips. It's like no other l/g or balm. If you haven't had the pleasure I highly recommend!

Yes I went over three

Auburn lip pencil - kind of an orangey medium red and perfect for neutralizing the many pinkish/blue/plum red shades that the brand has to offer. Just line lips with it, fill in lightly and apply the lip color over it for a neutralized version of any red shade (it's all about color play and dosage)

Sea and Sky Mineralize e/s Duo - This is really pretty in the pan and both colors are nice together or in other combos. I would definitely recommend it for anyone that's a fan of blues

Malt e/s - Very matte, velvety and basic. I think it's a great neutral blending color for many people and goof-resistant. I don't usually go for neutrals and blending colors, but I really liked this one.

I soo agree about Lovelorn. I wear it once or twice a week. I wore it yesterday when I went to a CCO, and the saleswoman asked what I had on my lips. I had it layered over Out to Shock.

Cream o Spice creamliner. Love this!!


Looove Motif. Son Risa hipped me to it. She used it in a lot of her FOTD's.

I personally love Pink Lemonade l/g. Oh, and La La Libertine l/g.

this thread has been a great read- I need to check out some of these products.

my 3-

knight divine e/s- This is my all time fave e/s.
bare study paint pot- I use this as my e/s base every day. I think most people use painterly but I love bare study.
168 brush- what I use for blush and highlight. this is fairly popular though!

I also have to mention MAC Shave Cream. It is so easy on my skin.

Gentle mineralize blush- gorgeous plummy color with gold!
Print eyeshadow - Great for a neutral smokey eye if you dont want to go really dark and blends incredibly.
Club- okay, so this one isn't really THAT UNDERRATED but the ways you can use it definitely are. Try it with a black base and it looks like beatle's skin. So cool.

Sorry, I couldn't just choose 3 lol!

There is no reason to not own a couple of these: Pure perfect color to work with, plus very good staying power.
(even if it's pro, you can call and order wherever you are)

3- 272 Small Angled Shader
Choose a nice one with thick bristles and quite a flat angled tip. This brush can do almost everything. Most underestimated brush IMO.




I really hate to rain on all of your parades because I agree so much about some of these being -so- under rated, but... *cries*

Gingerroot (and all of the creamstick pearl lipliners)
Shave Cream
and the #272 brush
