MAC Naked Honey Collection Swatches
Here are swatches from the latest launch from MAC! See a few more…
Lipglasses: She’s A Star, Queen Bee, Buzz
Honey Light (Overspray, No Overspray); Golden Nectar (Overspray, No Overspray)
Just wondering if the eye shadows are similar to anything in the perm line.or are they something you think are worth buying…before I rush off and make my credit card cry at Mac..Thanks!!!
Hi Rani,
similar colours:
The only colour in the Lipglass that is a little similar is She’s a Star and Instant Gold Lustreglass.
As for the Eye Shadows Creme de Miel = MOTIF,
Pollinator = PARADISCO and
Buckwheat = Mulch
HOPE THIS HELPS 🙂 XOX
I agree with Mulch being similar to Buckwheat, although it looks slightly darker to me:)
The eye shadows look like Nylon, Gleam, and Tempting.
I’d say Pollinator is closer to Paradisco!
I’m relatively certain I’ve seen that you have those two – how about a side by side swatch with Gleam/Pollinator/Paradisco so that we can see the differences???
I don’t own Paradisco, sorry!
that helps!
I don’t think that Paradisco is a good dupe for Pollinator on myself. My skin will pick up any gold that’s in a product so Paradisco looks very gold on me unless I use the correct base. I don’t have that problem with Pollinator.
I wish Paradisco looked gold on me, lol!
Nylon could sub for Creme de Miel.
I agree — the textures are different, and it isn’t as frosty, but they are very similar.
Creme de Miel is similar to Nylon; Pollinator to Paradisco; Buckwheat to Mulch!
Everything is so pretty!
Think you’ll get it all?
yes yes yes my obsessive hitting of “refresh” every 30 seconds for the last few hours finally pays off 🙂 heheheheeh
Now I need the reviews of the perfumes and other products. Hopefully I can take some time to get down to the MAC store later today, I have 70$ left on my Mothers Day gift card to spend! yippeee
LOL! Awww! I am so flattered, Tanya 🙂
What did you end up getting?
Which would look better on my nw25 skin – golden nectar or honey light. Thanks.
I would say golden nectar. I’ve read reviews about it and they say it fits all skin tones. Or was it honey light? The lightest highlight powder : D
I think Golden Nectar – Honey Light will probably be too orange!
Mhhhh Creme de Miel & Buckwheat are gonna move in with me….hopefully my grandpa the apiator will buy them for me! 😀
I hope he does, Linda!
Christine,
Would Golden Nectar work well as a bronzer for lighter skin tones? I am NW15, and I am wondering whether I should get this or Refined Golden.
Thanks for the swatches! 🙂
I would get golden nectar! It is so smooth, almost creamy and has a bautiful sheen when worn on the skin. I find refined golden too orange and glittery for my liking.
bautiful? BEAUTIFUL! haha, sorry!
I swatched golden nectar on my skin today hoping to use it as a bronzer(I don’t use mac foundation, but I have porcelain skin with no undertones) and it looked way too orange on me to look natural as a bronzer.
That’s really too bad, but it was definitely something I was afraid of 🙁
It might, but I think it might run a bit orange. It also has shimmer in it, so I’m not sure if you are looking for something more matte!
I would love to see the Buzz liglass on. That colour looks gorgeous swatched, wonder if its so good to wear
I swatched it earlier here – http://www.temptalia.com/mac-naked-honey-collection-sneak-peek
🙂
Which would look better on filipina NC40 skin?homey light or golden necear? Thanks =)
Thanks Taia! I think I will go with Golden Nectar — the honeycomb pattern is definitely a plus, too!
pollinator looks quite pretty
It is! 🙂
Creme de Miel e/s and Buckwheat e/s <333333
Are you getting ’em, Mikki?!
I’m wondering how similar Queen Bee would be to HK Nice to be Nice?
Hi Brenda,
IMO Nice to Be Nice is more orange and transparent while Queen Bee is a little bit more on the pinkish side.
Hope this helps you:-)
Totally different! Nice To Be Nice has a lot more shimmer/glitter, and it is sooo sheer in comparison to Queen Bee.
Christine-
I am stumped on what hightlight powder to get out of the 2…both are gorgeous….I am a C3….so pretty pale…lol
Golden Nectar would be the best, I think!
I’m possibly might be grabbing Buckwheat (but I think I might get the solar bits from SW instead) and definitely at least trying Buzz l/g
Buzz is pretty! I think you will like it!
Christine-
Which highlighting powder would you recommend for me? I am a C3 in the foundation shades with dark brown hair. Im pretty fair skinned.
I’d say Golden Nectar out of the two!
Lipgloss swatches seem nice thanks. Would it be possible to see them on your actual lips? For some reason, when I see lip products on your actual lips…it’s more…what’s the word….coveting??
Yes, I’ll be posting them soon, thanks!
Queen Bee looks really orangey, I didn’t expect that at all. Actually, I was so impatient for this collection but now … I just don’t know. Nothing looks as good anymore. Well, I still have a month to decide if I want it or not LOL sometimes it’s good that we have to wait an extra month for the collections.
It’s surprisingly orange-y, though more like a soft orange than a neon or anything!
Would the Golden Nectar Hi-light powder make a good sheer bronzer for a cool-toned girl? I’m fair/med. skin toned, and have med.brown hair. Thanks! 🙂
I think it would be OK, but it’s not my first pick for a bronzer.
Thank you!
No prob, Jaime!
hi there how does creme royal (vp) colour 4m the hello kitty quad compare to the Creme de Miel ??x
Similar in color, but the texture is different! I’d say Creme de Miel might have a little more yellow.
Does MAC have any permanent line lip glosses (of any variety) comparable to “She’s a Star”?
Thankssss
Maybe Instant Gold, though it’s a bit browner in the shimmer.
Ooh Pollinator is so pretty. I love them all actually <3
What will you be getting, Allie?
I’m thinking all three eyeshadows and one of the highlight powders. Have to wait until it hits the UK though. =)
It’ll be in the UK soon enough!
hiya the MAC website will launch the stuff a day b4 by 1pm so hopefully u can see the stuff online so excited 2 check out the perfume n salve golly the uk is so behind LOL im already makin my list 4 the fall collections LOL ps do u know if mac will bring the MAC skinfinish n shimmer powders back?? n can u tell me which one is good I wear medium plus thanks 4 the information as always christine, xx
These swatches look absolutely gorgeous esp. for olive/warm toned girls!!
Glad ya like ’em, Goldie!
How does Buckwheat compare to Tempting? Is there anywhere I can see comparison swatches? I don’t know which I should get with my f&f purchase
Tempting is much cooler-toned. Tempting seems like it has silver flecks, whereas Buckwheat is warmer and has gold flecks.
HI everyone!
do u think that nice buzz (plushglass) is identical to she’s a star??
🙂
Nope, She’s a Star has a lot more yellow-gold to it!
