I have been using these products for a month now and they are wonderful!!!
OOOOO! I MUST HAVE Dirty, Black Line, possibly Industrial, and Tomorrow's coral. I can't wait to hear how the markers hold up to wear!
Black Line is gorgeous! I like Slick Black and Greengrease too!
Hi Christine, I was hoping that you could compare the new black greasestick to the previous one. And what is the release date for this stuff? Does it come out this coming week? thank you!
I love the pearl glide eyeliners Grease paint stick in Dirty, charred mauve, & Below ground is amazing!!! Pearlglide in blackglide I love the lip stain markers!
Oh my what are the last three ones? Are they lip stains? But other then that I think I might have to get like every one of the greasepaint sticks.
Do you think that Industrial would be a good eyeliner for a neutral color pop look with brown eyes?
The Pearlglides look awesome. Really hoping the other 3 include a purple!
These grease paint sticks look different that the ones that came out in the D squared collection. They look thinner. Is it me or is it my imagination?
hey christine, this might sound kind of stupid but what exactly are greasepaints for? are they like an eyeshadow stick, or..? i'm kind of new to the whole makeup world as you can tell, haha. btw, i LOVE your site and all the work you do for it!
Eyeshadow, eyeshadow base, eyeliner :) Thank you!
omg my wallet is going to kill me for this lol i really want ALL those pearlglide liners and the lipstain markers look sooo cool!!
I wish they'd make greasepaints and pearlglides perm already...I want this whole collection!
Oh dear, what am I going to do? I want it all, seriously, and this never happens to me. I reach for greasepaintsticks and eyeliners (especially pearlglides) almost every day. And since i have a hard time being bothered to reapply lipsticks and glosses, these stains seem a great alternative (and we don't have anything similar available here). Loving Dirty and Brown now paintstick, as well as Blackline and Industrial liners. Ugh! Thanks, Christine! :)
Christine, do you find Greasepaint stick moves on you? Is it easy to blend? I read so many mixed reviews.. Normally I use Blackground paint pot, but I wonder what these are like compared to paint pots.
They don't move on me, though I don't think they're ultra blendable on their own. You can blend a shadow on top fine, but they themselves dry pretty quickly. I like Blacktrack for a black base myself (it seems a little blacker than Blackground to me), and I don't think these are that different.
Thanks so much for that. I will just buy one and see what the hype is all about.. Damn hype :D
Pardon my ignorance, but what is Greasepaint Stick? Is it a liner? A shadow stick? Both? Long wearing? Thanks! :)
I got to play around with these a few days ago and the purple pearlglide is definitely my favorite piece from the collection. The lip stains were okay but the color at the end of the marker is decieving, it seemed a few of them weren't exactly the same. But I'm excited for this collection. :)
those look amazing! mac's going to make me broke haha, my poor wallet
I want to see more!!! apart from having been more restrained than planned with too fabulous and liberty of london, I can see myself undoing all that good work with this collection!
Wow amazing hope we get this in Australia!!!
I haven't tried lipstain markers before.. very interesting collection.
OMG. Black Line and Industrial are GORGEOUS!
want all. and I think you mixed up the pearlglide liner names and photos. undercurrant and blackline pic/swatch THANKS AGAIN
I've been looking forward to this collection for a while. Can't wait to see more!
greengrease and undercurrent for me...
christine , do u think u can do a swatch comparison with these to the 3 from Dsquared collection when they come out. im curious on how the black , blue and purple color compare? thanx!
I'm super hesitant about the pencils and greasepaint sticks, after seeing swatches. I thought I would snatch them up but now I'm totally going to need to swatch all of them when they come out. I'm sure I will still give in and purchase a majority of them. Thanks Christine.
thanx christine, i love u and your site, i check it everyday ! =) i totally want to get those greasepaint sticks, already have the 3 from style warriors, the only thing about those is they sorta smell like tire oil , or something. i hope these dont have that issue. as for the markers , i love stylesetter! what a nice hot pink! is it me or does tomorrows coral and classic both look alike?
Agree. The smell puts me off sometimes.
Eeeeeeeee! Can't wait for the review! I've been super interested in the lip markers! Also interested in the uses for the greasepaint sticks... I don't really understand if they are to be used as liner or shadow - both? So hopefully you will have some looks for us soon!
I personally use them as a base below the shadow ;)
I'm in love. OMG! SO PRETTY!
How does that greasepaint stick Charred Mauve hold up against the D Squared greasepaint V (that purple one) Do they look similar? I regretfully missed out on the D Squared blue one so I cant compare those two but If the purple ones are different I ll definently get this one too. Greengrease looks awesome.
I'm definitely picking up the pearlglide liners..they would look amazing!
can't wait to try the lip stain markers, I hope they're quite a few steps above the CoverGirl version- every beauty mag editor on earth raved about them & I found them to be the biggest beauty disappointment ever! Crossing my fingers that MAC got it right!
The lip-markers look like Covergirl's lipstains. The pearlglides look semi-interesting. And I am whole-heartedly disinterested in the greasepaint sticks..I always have been though.
OMG - I am so excited about this collection ever since you mentioned it earlier this year. I love the grease paint sticks and knew I *needed* to get them all. Seeing pictures just makes it worse because it makes me want them even more!
Tomorrow's Coral and A Classic look really similar in these photos but A Class looks a bit redder. Christine, do they look really alike on your lips? I'm stoked for these lipstain markers!
I want the lip markers, all of them !
I am sooooo excited about the lip stains. I had just been looking into buying some.
Lol, I want them ALL! This collection is shaping up to be serious trouble for my savings....oh, dear.
Christine, you evillllllllll.... Now I'm going to spend even more on mac >_<
undercurrent in person is one of the most beautiful things you will ever see. its insane. i fell in love.
wow, Charred Mauve and Tomorrow's Coral are up my alley! thanks Christine for providing swatches! you're such a dear! :)
i want stylester so bad looks so cute.
Oh wow another huge collection, I am not sure I can keep up. I do really like Industrial and Undercurrent Pearlglide liners and Greengrease and Slick Black Greasepaint Sticks and will try to save and pick these up.
I am super psyched about those lipstain markers!
Yay! for pearlglide liners. I can't imagine my life without them. Lol. :-D
