Liz says
Pretty! I like the browns. It looks like you can mix those to create some beautiful shades.
Karen says
Hi Liz,
Yes! I bet you could come up with a ton of pretty color combos with that palette.
Laura H says
All the browns look AMAZING on you. You should wear those tones more often !
Karen says
Thanks, Laura! Do you like to wear brown lipsticks? I love the shades — they remind me of the ’90s.
Nina says
I must have the brownsss! Its so pretty and so natural and so soft!!!
Karen says
Yeah! You know what I love about that palette? Paramount. It was my color in the ’90s. I wore practically every day when I was in college.
Nina says
I dont think I ever had that but its gorgeous! Im drooling!
Karen says
It’s a great shade, especially if you like rich, dark, vampy matte lips. It can be a little drying (my lips were dry, dry, dry throughout the latter half of the ’90s!), so you might want to prep with a little bit of balm first.
Might be cute with a nail polish to match. Ooh, matchy-matchy!
Nina says
I love matte lips, and matchy matchy, you say? I am so in!
Karen says
I love them too, although with the warm weather we’ve been having here I’m still in the mood for juicy lips!
Nina says
Its so hot that I dont bother w/ more than some tinted lip balm lately. I did bust out Watch Me Simmer yesterday just to cheer me up a bit LOL!
Teri says
I love Mac for bringing this out in lip palettes, this is great for any mua! Big fan of the orange shades, they look awesome on you Karen!
Karen says
Thanks, Teri! Do you wear orange lip colors often?
Vanessa says
I think peachstock went well with your look, and taupe suits your coloring very well 🙂
Ingrid says
Love! Will you be doing the other palettes?
Karen says
Hi Ingrid,
I hadn’t planned on it, but let me see what I can do.
Chris25 says
I also wore Dark Diversion today,. I picked it up last year. 🙂
I kinda want to get the Editorial Red palette. I want most of the shades in there anyway, and it’s a pretty good deal.
Joyce says
They all look lovely on YOU, especially the browns/nudes. Not sure if I can pull off orange shades though. By the way, do you feel like these shades are the same as the ones in the tubes? Do you see any differences in the formula?
jen says
The browns are AMAZING on you, Karen!
Tracy says
Wow the browns! And usually I hate brown lipsticks! But these are pretty!
penelope says
I think orange is an extremely difficult color to pull off but you do it really well!
Karen says
Aww, thanks boo! 🙂
Becca @ The Beauty Sample says
OMG I LOVE how every single shade from the Editorial Oranges palette looks on you! Now, how they’ll look on me remains to be seen…
Karen says
You should try orange sometime! It can be surprisingly flattering.
Denise says
Love that two orange shades
Denise says
Love those two orange shades
Karen says
Yeah! They’re fun. 🙂
Sunny @ Mostly Sunny says
The orange palette! Even if I don’t get it I’ll probably grab Cross Wires sometime soon! It’s a stunning stunning one!
Karen says
I wear Cross Wires all the time.
If anyone’s interested, here’s a link to the Unsung Heroes post of it:

Kim says
I really like Paramount. 🙂
All the oranges look really good on you, even though some of them scared me in the swatches.
Karen says
It’s a really good color. I’m not quite ready for ’90s makeup to come back in style (all those matte browns!), but I’m down for a lip here and there. 😀
How’s your day going? Is it Friday yet? LOL
Kim says
HAHA! You know I’m still living in the 90s but I’m praying the 80s don’t come back (makeup or clothing!)
It was crazy here today. Oh, I hear you. Friday’s so close I can taste it! 🙂
Karen says
Speaking of the 80s, I saw a gal in acid wash jeans the other day. I don’t know if I’ll be able to function if it makes a full-fledged comeback.
Kim says
Oh, no. Acid washed will put me over the edge. I never even had any when they were in. I was going to say that I didn’t find them flattering, but then my brain exploded when I realized I wore MC Hammer pants. I keep hoping that the full body, zip up jumpsuit will be in style someday. But not the orange ones that come with the stylish leg shackles. 🙂
Kiss & Make-up says
Loved the Morange swatch, and love how it looks on you! I’m getting this 🙂 I also like the more neutral shades. Two thumbs up for MAC!
Karen says
I know! They did a great job with these palettes. All of the colors are very useful.
Jessica says
Amazing palettes and real value sets!
I love the browns, since my skin/hair/eyes/lips colours are very close to your (even I’m most pale than you lately ç__ç ) but I can’t wait to see reds and plums (I’m not a fan of pinks at all…) are you going to swatch them, too??? Hope so!
thank you for these, so far ;D
Karen says
Hi Jessica,
I hadn’t planned on swatching them, but let me so what I can do.
Have a good day!
Jessica says
Hope you’ll have time to swatch them, too (said someone who can’t post since april :P), I think they are a real interesting project by mac!!! *__*
Amanda says
I’m really liking the Modern Browns. I didn’t like them in the palette but they look really great on your lips.
Ankita@corallista says
I love how So Chaud looks on you. I need Crosswires!!
Karen says
Yeah, Cross Wires is amazing. Give it a try!
Jenna N. says
The orange shades look nice, but I’d never buy a lip palette like that. Too much to carry around and I always feel like I need a mirror to apply.
Vanessa says
Love the morange and so chaude! Did you directly apply these shades or mix it with another color? I want these colors but don’t know how to tone them down.
