MAC & Marcel Wanders - Luxe Couture collection

Launch: 24 November 2010 [US/Canada]

“If I have a basic motivation, it’s to inspire people to make their life a Masterpiece!” Is that not what we do every day at M∙A∙C? So it is that the Dutch industrial designer – known for everything from his “Happy Hour” Chandelier to his futuresonic way with old Delft porcelain, and for co-founding now-iconic design collective Droog AND the amusing, classicism-meets-futurism objects of his own group, Moooi (from the Dutch word for “beauty,” but with an extra “o” for extra-beautiful!) – wandered HERE…It had to be! M∙A∙C partners with Marcel Wanders – his first foray into the world of cosmetics – and design sophisticates (and people with innate and irreverent tastes) will be bonkers for these limited-edition Lipstick, Lip Gloss, Sheer Mystery Powder, Air of Style Scent Concentrate, and his signature brush and clutch creations, not least of all for their arresting packaging – fine collectors’ items all! But also for the rich palette, inspired by 17th-century Flemish painting, and particularly, Vermeer – “The Girl With a Pearl Earring” – and the idea of an artist painting a portrait, and falling in love. “Always, with a sense of love in the product…” he says. Marcel speaks our M∙A∙C language.

I'm really feeling the packaging on this collection. It looks more elevated and would make great Christmas gifts for anyone!

My FOTD: Pop Of Colour Lips

If you follow me on twitter, Last Sunday I posted my outfit and face of the day. I love wearing simple makeup when it's very hot out but I don't like to look like I just woke up and walked out.

I find that wearing a nice pop of color on your lips helps to brighten your face (and your mood) without much effort.

Lips:
Makeup Forever Lipliner in pink
MAC Chatterbox Lipstick

Eyes:
UDPP
UD Chopper eyeshadow
MAC Smolder in the waterline and smudged on the upper lashline.
Maybelline Colossal Mascara

Cheeks:
Bobbi Brown Apricot Blush (perfect match for the lipstick)

Face:
Nars sheer glow foundation in Stromboli
Ben Nye Banana set powder
Smashbox Suntan Matte Bronzer

Necklace: H&M

Hope you like!

XOXO,
Awilda
