are all of the liquidlast liners perm shades?

🙂 Temptalia has you covered for all things MAC!!

Me too, I’m so anxious to see how they work. I’ve never had a TON of success with mattes.

I think most of them are permanent – Inky and Inkspill seem like they might be different based on descriptions.

Yes I hope this collection will be permanent as well. I just hate it when we all buy things from MAC in a hurry coz we might run out..especially that I’m saving my money for the Holiday Collection 🙂

Ok, I’m sad..I feel like I was fooled or I played the fool. I went to my MAC counter to try out the “NEW MATTE2”..and I walked away with NOTHING! My sister got Newly Minted..good for her. We came home and follwed the MA steps..Ms. Christine I even read your comments about how to apply Matte2. I used a matte base and went to work….I worked and I worked and I worked….and worked some more..To much work for me (LOL)..Next..I’m loosing faith in MAC. Good Luck to all who can work those mattes by MAC..I’m going to UD. One swipe and it’s on..

Baby girl I try and try and try….I thought I was going to have to replace my sister e/s (lol). I went to the CCS today and got Endless Love which by the way is a matte and I had to problem applying it. I guess it’s something in the product of these new Matte2 e/s that’s not agreeing with me. Thanks though for the peep talk :).
