[sss215]

Just in case you haven't seen it before and want to know what all the fuss is about. Here is a recent photo of it with Warm Blend from last year's Color Craft:

Here is a picture of both of them side by side: Top: Warm Blend (swatches on NW15 skintone) Bottom: Metal Rock

Is it being repromoted or something?

 

[Lapis]

yup warm blend is a pretty much a dupe but you know mac addicts we have to own it and see for ourselves

Looks really glittery.

Metal Rock IS really glittery. On me it's a dark version of Naked You. Pretty chunky and glitter bomb-y.

I am NW 45/47, if anyone would like it swtached on darker skin let me know. I also have Warm Blend. I think there is a significant difference.

Really? I'm the same and there's not a ton of difference for me after I tap the brush and knock off the glitter when using MR.

I'm NC50 and there is a difference. They look exactly like they do in this photo.

I knew that they were very close before I bought but I had to have it.

Well, if you ladies could post swatches of darker skin, it would still help someone (me, lol).

Me too. I just swatched them to make sure I wasn't loosing my mind. Metal Rock is a dark chocolate, Warm Blend (blended) looks like a bronze and just the center strip of Warm Blend looks like a dark copper but they are not dupes at all. Same color family, if they were shadows I'd put them in the same 15-pan but they are noticeably different.

I would like to see the swatches. thanks in advance!

Warm Blend & Metal Rock look completely different on me. Twinkle's description of the two is exactly right. Here is a picture of what they look like on NC50 skin. Picture isn't the best quality because I had to use my cell phone, but the differences should be able to be seen.

Top to bottom:
Warm Blend -Mixed
Warm Blend - Middle Strip
Metal Rock

Here is another picture of MR & WB

MR on the left, WB (center strip only) on the right

I would also like to see them swatched on darker skin, please.
eta; didn't see the above post

 

[Lovey99]

I am on a business trip. I will post swatches on Sunday when I get back home.

I think warm blends offers color, there is little to no color from metal rock on my skin.

Warm Blend gives a hint of goldish brown. Metal Rock gives my skin a luminescence. Metal Rock is nearly my skin color, so it melts into my skin and gives a radiant glow.

 

[Lapis]

well maybe it's my skin or I'm too light with product but on my skin they look basically the same /shrug

 

[Ashleybubbles83]

i have them both, there is a little bit of a difference but not enough for me to say ok i have warm blend i dont need metal rock, i gotta have em both!

 

[Lovey99]

Top - Metal Rock
Bottom - Middle Part of Warm Blend...

I am going to take another picture outside... Now that I see the picture, they are VERY similiar. I am NW45/47, and both colors melt into my skin. They match my skin and can be used as an all-over powder, if you like shimmer.

 

[makeba]

I wonder how Metal Rock and CHocolate Brown pigment compares? hmmm. anybody know?

 

[reesesilverstar]

Lovey 99, I can't see anything. The pic is so tiny

Ashleybubbles83 are you gonna swatch for us too, please?


I'm curious about the chocolate pigment. I have that, but it's a rosey brown, not bronzey...
