I was looking forward this collection, because of course, I love Nudes! But I didn’t write about it before because I wanted to look the colours properly, so I searched and I found some blogs with swatch pics.

I have to say that I still don’t know if I am disappointed or not with it. Clearly the makeup items I love the most (lipstick and gloss) were the ones I was impatient to see… but I don’t know anymore. I think they didn’t pay attention much to the girls who have pigmented lips. The first 3 shades, 1N, 2N and 3N are almost colorless for pigmented lips and tanned skin. The 4N is the only one, so far, that I can tell it will work for people like me. The 5N shade is a nude for dark colour skins, and I thought it would have more a bit of mauve in it, but its too brown looking in the pictures. The 1N people are saying that’s almost transparent, who likes translucent colorless only sheer lipstick, that’s the one. I kind of like it as well, but for pigmented lips, is it going to work? I’m not so hopeful. For pinkish lips, the 3N will look lovely, but I don’t know for pigmented ones…

The glosses I loved the shades 1N (creamy light beige - people, I’m using my particular description of the shades, I’m not using the MAC ones), 2N (creamy light rose - similar shade of the 3N l/s) and 3N (neutral beige/brown with golden pearl). I think its easier you get right with glosses, because they are sheerer and lighter than l/s. The 4N I thought very dark for me, but it’s a beautiful nude colour for darker skins.

I consider myself I light to medium tanned skin colour person. My perfect complexion in MAC is NC42 and NC40 in the winter. So for me the medium shades are going to work much better.

The eyeshadows I liked all the colours, its impossible to pick just one. I think I’m going to get 4 or 5 shades: Modest Tone, Remotely Grey, Rich Flesh (I was looking for a matte brown like that for ages), Neutral Pink and Nanogold to light the brow bone, specially. The favourite Paint Pot was the Groundwork.

As the N Collection for the skin I liked the idea of natural Mineralize Skin Finish, but I just got more attracted to the normal ones: Warmed (bronzed colour - I expected a bit more of golden shine in it, but it doesn’t have much) and Light Flush (light pink perfect to highlight the cheeks).

Anyway, these are my first impression of the N Collection so far. I need to analyze carefully first before I do any orders, because I don’t have MAC stores in my city: I either ask my friend to bring for me or I order online to be delivered in a friends house and sent to me via post.

Please, MAC, bring your gorgeous store to my city!!!! =PPPP
