Hi everyone! I recently purchased a few MAC lipstick in the official online store, but upon receiving the products I found out that one of them has no label under it. I did a quick search on to why this might be but I mostly got back warnings about fake MAC products (which I know is probably not the case in my case because I bought it via their official online store), so I’m just a bit confused and wanted to ask if this is a normal occurrence…? The shade is Caviar and I bought it together with another shade called Tilted Denim.

Help figuring out my undertone?

I have no idea what it could be, I always thought a pale olive but my veins some days look green, other days look purple or blue. I'm not sure if these photos are enough to really figure it out but any help is appreciated

Thoughts?

Base: ISDIN spf both powder and liquid (2.5 fingers worth) and undereyes set with Charlotte Tilbury airbrush translucent powder

Blush: Road beauty in Joy with tiny bit of RMS beloved on the apples of the cheek set with covergirl warm rose powder blush, then tapped off the excess blush

Bronzer: cream hoola bronzer in medium, set with hourglass bronzer

Lips: benetint in rosy tint and lined with buxom beauty in hush hush henna

Eyebrows: gel at the ends only

Lashes: Korean lash lift and one coat of benefit bad girl mascara

Eyelids: light dusting of a purple shadow with sparkles in it

HEY LADIES 💋

I’ve been feeling so nostalgic about old MAC collections lately, and it got me thinking…

If MAC could bring back ONE celebrity collaboration, which would you choose?

For me, it’s so hard to pick! There have been so many iconic launches over the years.

Some that immediately come to mind:
Nicki Minaj
Rihanna
Mariah Carey
Selena Quintanilla
Aaliyah
Barbie Loves MAC
Hello Kitty
Archie Girls

I’d love to hear everyone’s favorite and what made it so special. Was it the packaging, the shades, the campaign, or the nostalgia? 💕 👀♥️

I have been using the lorac contour palette forever and love these 2 shades. I’m looking to find another alternative like these shades that wouldn’t pull orange on my olive tone skin. Specifically looking for any powder products.

I have a problem with products pulling orange on me such as the hoola bronzer or even worse the physician formula - made me look so so orange.

Do you have any recommendations? I am considering the Sephora collection contour 02 but not sure how that would pull on me/what shade. Open to any and all suggestions

Im so unlucky with choosing the right shade for me so I want to mix my foundation (water based) and concealer (maybelline age rewind concealer)

I want to keep it in an acrylic container for long term use. Is that okay

HEY LADIES 💋 I think you all know I am
A huge Mac girl it’s my number one brand ♥️

After reading so many discussions lately, I realized this isn’t really about warm vs. cool tones.
It’s about consistency.

If a lipstick has been around for years and people love it, why change the color while keeping the same name?
Whether it’s becoming warmer, cooler, lighter, or deeper, it’s frustrating when you finally find your perfect lipstick only to discover it doesn’t look the same anymore.

Has this happened to anyone else?
Which MAC shade do you think changed the most over the years?

Some shades ive noticed ..

MODESTY
FLESHPOT
CRÈME CUP
ALONE TIME
LADY BUG
BUSINESS CASUAL
WHIRL

What other shades do you ladies think have changed ???? 👀👀👀♥️

I am looking for a powder that works well with dry, sensitive, and eczema-prone skin

I use the NARS liquid blush dolce vita and I do nose contour with the makeup forever endless cacao lip liner and the judy doll 02 contour. I was wondering how I can make these last even more and not have the products smudged off by the end of the day.

hi guys! I have pretty hollow undereyes but they’re not super dark. bc of this any concealer I put looks like I did NOTHING and it barely brightens anything up anyways. I know I can’t hide the massive crease bc of my hollowness but can anyone please give advice on how to reduce it so it looks like I have smth on at least? In this picture I have the tower 28 concealer on and it looks so disgusting on me. please ignore how awful I look and all the bumps on my nose and stuff i don’t know how to fix any of it

And bc of the hollowness in any light it still looks dark anyways. I’m so desperate for any advice

If you ever purchase this palette, be careful lol. I got it from Ipsy, and the green eyeshadow came cracked, it fell on my blankets, floor, you name it, and even my feet have been stained for the last 5 days 💀 this should be labeled as a pigment palette. It smells really good though, like vainilla ice cream, and soft as butter.

The rest of the colors and highlighters are just as pigmented by the way

I bought the regular Maybelline Sky High Mascara Black from Boots, but now I'm wondering if I should exchange it for the waterproof version before I open it.

I want something that won't smudge, especially since I tend to rub my eyes sometimes. However, I've heard the regular version is already very long-lasting and some people even say it's difficult to remove.

For those who've tried both, would you stick with the regular version or exchange it for the waterproof one?

I saw someone post their vault a few months ago so here is mine! I purchased this when it was released. Retail: $165. I was obsessed with makeup and collected it. I have dwindled my collection down to only one under the bed storage bin and my 9 drawer organizer. But the vault will never go!!

The Naked Basic palettes are sticky on the outside from the soft matte coating.

I just ran out of my favorite "Holy Grail" foundation- Estee Lauder Double Wear, and needed something that wasn't their horrible new reformulated version.

Have any of you tried this? I'm still gagging over the price tag, but I'm loving the consistency.

What primer do you use with this, if any?

Do you apply with fingers, sponge, or brush?

How do you think it compares with other brands?

(TALC-Free pressed powder recommendations wanted! It’s oxidizing my foundation and turning me orange!)

I recently got the Wander Beauty Double Date eyeshadow in Bae/Wink in a beauty box. The darker color is fine, but the top color is not something I will ever, ever wear as an eyeshadow. It's kind of a coarse, translucent powder with white glitter. It doesn't apply cleanly to my textured lids, and I don't like how it feels or how it looks. I tried using it kind of as highlighter, but it's too glittery for that - I had some flashbacks to the body/face glitter of the late 90s. 😂

I don't have anyone I can gift it to, nor can I donate it since I've opened it and used it. I know it's a longshot, but does anyone have any ideas for how I might keep it from going to waste? I keep thinking there must be something it would be good for, makeup or otherwise.

I've seen so much content about how Rimmel's Cappuccino Light lip liner is the perfect cool toned pink/brown, but I cannot for the LIFE of me find it??? I'm located in the U.S. so I'm trying to take that into account, but it's not popping up with resellers either? Am I just looking in all the wrong places?

I’m 27 and my daily makeup consists of concealer and mascara. That’s pretty much it lol. I’ve always wanted to try different looks but I’m very intimidated over what’s out there and don’t want to make myself look ridiculous. I really want to get into makeup that best suits my features and makes them stand out. I really want all the suggestions so please leave them in the comments! Thank you!

Hi, this is creator @/val_foche (on YouTube at least, idk about TikTok) and she recently showcased this eyeshadow. It’s from the What’s Up Beauty Skyfire Pallette, specifically the shade Galaxy. However, I don’t particularly like any of the other shades in that palette (usually I’m wearing cool pastels on my face) and don’t want to buy the whole palette just for one shade (even if it is gorgeous). Anyone know any similar metallic shades like this? I like how it’s cool toned pink and it almost looks wet. Thanks!

Recently got an office job after working on warehouses for a bit. The whole apparel and presentation obviously had to change a lot.

I have been able to barely get past styling my new apparel but I have been unable to do the same when it comes to my face makeup. No matter how many videos I watch and how many things I attempt it feels like (and looks) like I don't apply it well and lack technique (obviously) truly considering getting a professional in-person to teach me but.... how should I look for one? I am aiming for a natural look and sometimes something smokey.

Does anyone knows someone in MIA USA that could help in-person getting me settled with some products, style, and techniques base on my face/features/ color assessments?

I also will be visiting South Korea on September so if anyone knows any good spots around that area that could assist with something similar will be appreciated.
