-Hi there! Welcome to pursebuzz.com. Today, I'm going to review the N Collection from MAC and I've had it about a week, so I've been able to play with the colors and just have a lot of fun with it and so I'm gonna go with my very first favorite, favorite product. I always talk about it. It has a mineralized skin finish in light flesh. It's like a light shimmery pink with a little bit of kind of I wanna see a peachy shimmer to it.
It's so pretty. If you like a lot of shimmer, I recommend getting one with a lot of the veins to it. This one didn't have as much as I'd like. I should have asked, but I didn't think about it when I got it. So, anyway, if you want just a regular shimmer and a regular pink, it comes out like this. See that? That's just gonna give you a nice little rosy glow right here on your cheeks and then you can use like a nylon brush like a 187, just kind of buff it up. But then if you want a little extra shimmer,
I've gotta reach over here to the top and just pick out that color right there and you can see it. So, this is great as a little light blush,
you can kind of see it right there, or a lithe highlighter, but very lightly if you're gonna do a highlighter. Just like that as you can see it. And I love it, I love it because it's so soft. It's so shimmery. It doesn't make me break out. It's one of my favorites. I love mineralized skin finish. The reason why I didn't get the other color is because it's a little too dark for me, a little too bronze 'coz-- And I also like Global Glow, which is a borderline for me since I'm an NC20,
but the rest of the collection, very fun, very neutral something if you're looking to go in a bridal work or if you wanna go for that really natural look. N Collection is so easy to just pick out some neutral colors and just you can't go wrong with it. So, I'm gonna go over lip glosses first. I have 4 of them, N1 through 4. So, one of my favorites is 1N. I really like this because it's very neutral for me.
If there's any pink, it's a very fleshy skin-tone color. Looks like that. And you just put it on your lips. I have that actually on my lips right now with 1N lipstick. And the next color is 2N. 2N is a little pink. It's very popular I guess backstage, but I personally think it's too pink for me. If you want a little bit more of a pink pigmentation to your looks, but want it to look a little natural, I recommend 2N.
1N if you want something very natural and just depending on, you know, how tan you are and your skin color, you can go for the next one. This is 3N. 3N is a little bit more deeper. It's a little more shimmery. You see that right there? And they're gonna gradually get a little darker as the numbers get higher. And I have 4N. 4N I love even though it is a neutral with a dark color.
It's more like a copper wine if you could imagine. You could see the shimmer right there and you can see the gradual colors, but I definitely recommend 1N and 4N. 4N is pretty, so I put that on my lips so you can just see it. It looks a little dark, but it's still very natural at the same time.
There's a little messy thing right there going, but it's just very, very natural yet very shimmery at the same time, you know, depending on your skin tone and your colors, but there's-- I like the lip glosses. They're so natural and they are exactly the same color as the lipstick, so starting from 1N, which I used earlier today, which is very, very pale. It actually looks like there's no color, but when you put it on your lips,
it actually brings down my lips a couple shades down. So, there it is right here. And you can see, it's very different. It's a little shimmery, not too much, just enough to even out your skin color to make it a little bit lighter than it really is if that's what you're going for. 2N is the one popular backstage in all the runway shows. See that?
This one's also a very nice neutral color. You can see how this has a little more pink to it than this one. I like the 1N and the 2N. 3N is a little more pinky peach. It actually to me looks a lot like it would go with the 2N lip gloss. You could see that right there? A blab. So , they're not exactly just neutral and then darkening as the numbers get higher. There are different-colored bases to it.
Then the 4N looks a little bit more of a coral color to it, a little bit more of an orangey base. See that? So just depending, you know, on your skin color and your tone. Now, 5N looks really dark, but it's not that dark compared to, you know, other lipsticks out there. Again, it's very soft, very creamy lipsticks, just depending on your skin tone. I really like. It's weird. I just don't like that pink-based lipstick if I'm going for something neutral unless, you know, you don't have that pink color in your lips.
So, those are the swatches for the lipsticks. I'm super excited about the eye shadows because they're very neutral, they're so easy to use, and they're very camera friendly 'coz they're not too shimmery, and they're just very matte but creamy.
