MAC Extra Dimension Highlighters – Swatches Sneak Peek

I really thought I would be able to have everything reviewed by tomorrow morning, but it’s definitely not going to happen quite so quickly. I hope to have all of In Extra Dimension and Tres Cheek reviewed tomorrow, and then I will work on Reel Sexy, which likely won’t post until Friday. I always underestimate how long the process is! I would really appreciate it if you held off asking any questions regarding colors, dupes, textures, quality, wear, etc. until I’ve posted the review, because I will do my best to address all of those things and more at that time. Thank you!

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities!

I have 2 of those Estee Lauder Gelee powders (I missed Modern Mercury, the 1st one that came out last year), and I am actually expecting these to be virtually identical in texture and wear. Estee Lauder owns MAC, but 13% of their overall sales are from MAC. Every time a new product goes over well with EL’s core line, it pops up at a lower price-point in MAC. I’m still interested in getting these!

That was exactly what I was thinking! Number one isn’t my colour, number two I already have in the EL version, but the third golden one looks like a really nice addition, I don’t have a pretty light golden one yet. The one from Guerlain (Sun in the City) looks a bit similar, but this one is a much better value 😉

Beautiful! Thanks for the sneak peak! I’ll have to get whisper of gilt. The others I’m sure will make me look sunburned or something.

Jazz Avatar

Why did I have to see this? Now I want at least one. I have wanted to try a highlighter for a while , and I think any of them will be super pretty on my Nw45ish skin.

I actually SENT my Estee Lauder Modern Mercury powder (along with the other three) down to MAC PRO in SF to have them swatch them against these things since this formula seems to be MAC’s take on the Lauder Cyber Eyes/Pure Color Gelee products. Was told Supurb was SOOO close to Modern Mercury… SO I ordered a few. LOL!!! Should get them on Thursday and I’m very excited to see for myself. I didn’t ever get that Laura Mercier rose highlighter thing (that was Mercier right?) but I was told THAT product was very similar to Modern Mercury as well.

Crossing fingers! These look purdy! 🙂

The shade in the pan looks so close to Modern Mercury but I just hope the finish on the skin when you have a nice rounded cheap bone has the same effect with Superb. Finger crossed actually as the flat swatches I’ve seen make be doubt buying this one so far (I fear it would look like a bad fake bake on me.)

Veronica Avatar

Ooh, Whisper of Gilt and Superb looks pretty. I think Superb might be took dark for my skin, but I might have to check Gilt out in person.

I’m not going to lie I almost want to get Glorify as and eyeshadow. ^_^

It’s rare to find a Highlighter product that can duoble as an eyeshadow, but I have eyeshadows that I can use as a Highlighters.

Christine, can you compare both Glorify to Gold Deposit and Whisper to Chez Chez Lame? they look a lot alike what do you think?

They are so pretty, but I really can’t think how wearable they are. I just feel like I’m going to look like a big shiny discoball if I wear them. Whisper of Gilt seems the most wearable for me as I’m NC15, and anything else wouldn’t really be a highlighter, it would be a shiny blusher.

I really need to see these used on the face before I can see how they can be used, because they just seem like the kind of thing that will sit in a drawer unused, sadly.

Sass Avatar

I’m getting all because Dustin says these are like the Estee Lauder highlighters that I wasn’t willing to pay 40 bucks each for. Can’t wait!

The MAC superb highlighter looks so beautiful with your skin tone! I still wonder if the shimmer may not be as finely grated as i would like.
