Mac Dupe For Medium-Deep Studio Careblend

When applied at a 90 degree angle, provides a thin precision line. An easy way to line the top and lower lash line of the eye. Blends on application: Dries quickly to a long-wearing, no-smudge finish. Its formula is soft and creamy with intense, rich colour. A mechanical pencil-style liner.

I don't have any photos of these to share, but I was given permission to mention them here, as they're due out soon. Lesley had three palettes one paler, one medium and one darker, containing what appeared to be Studio Finish concealers, but perhaps very slightlyВ creamier (Studio Finish concealers can be a little dry to work with). These are due out around April this year and may only be available from the Pro store (Lesley wasn't 100% sure about this, she did say that they're lobbying to get them into Brown Thomas also).

I currently use an Illamasqua Cream Pigment called 'Hollow' for contouring, and it's really fabulous (I much prefer cream to powder products in general anyhow) but I'm definitely excited about the new MAC creams due out. So, apparently, we're going to see contouring creams being released, which is fantastic. Hence the need for a more grey-toned shade for contouring. Incidentally, contouring (with a light hand) using a warmer tone is tentatively ok - I personally don't like doing it, but if you blend carefully it can look fine - but it won't photograph particularly well under flash photography. These were unique in that they were more cool/grey-toned than usual bronzers, and therefore better for contouring - after all, a contour shade should mimic a shadow, which is usually grey toned, not warm (golden or red) toned, which a bronzer will give you. OK, as an aside, MAC had previously sold sculpting powder duos (and sculpting powders are available in the Pro stores) for contouring (and also highlighting, for the duos).
