NEWNESS: The MAC In Monochrome Color Collections (Velvet Teddy, Ruby Woo and See Sheer)
Do yourself a solid, you sensational señorita, and tap a little MAC Velvet Teddy lipstick on the apples of your cheeks as an impromptu cream blush.
Don’t mind me; I’ll wait [waiting]…
It’s one those tried-and-true multitasking tricks many MAC addicts (myself included) like doing.
Also up there? Using lippies like Heroine and Ruby Woo as eyeshadows or even eyeliner!
Which brings me to this: The new MAC in Monochrome collection, which is available now. It takes what MAC fiends have already been doing for ages — re-purposing products — and makes it…official.
Going beyond lipstick
Six cult-classic MAC Lipsticks (Velvet Teddy, See Sheer, Ruby Woo, Heroine, Diva and Candy Yum Yum) get the props they so richly deserve in the form of their own sets of matching lipgloss, eyeshadow, blush and glitter inspired by their respective color. (Side note: Why’d MAC stop there? They should have gone all out with perfume and liner. After all, Velvet Teddy, Ruby Woo and Candy Yum Yum have already been released as fragrances. HMMM!)
Playing with finish and texture
Like cat eyes and red lips, monochromatic makeup is a classic theme that transcends trends.
