MAC Dsquared2


Every season the fashion crowd is up and on the run, crazy for the fierce and sexy fun we’ve come to expect from designers Dan and Dean Caten, the Canadian twins who know how to pack a punch and throw a party! With their haute hi-jinx and body-beautiful clothes for boys and girls, a collaboration with MAC simply could NOT be avoided! “DSquared2 and MAC are on the same trip!” says Dan. This collection brings us to the Ziegfield Follies by way of Grey Gardens, a bit disheveled, a little Girl Interrupted, both dramatically hip and dangerously sexy.

It starts with a strong, sooty, blackest-ever wild-child eye…a new Greasepaint Stick also in blue and violet versions, and Pro Gloss to create it. Neutral and perfected skin will get more drama with highlighting and low lighting from Sculpt and Shape Powders and the 165 Tapered Cheek/Highlight Brush all the better to achieve it. And finally, the totally nude Pro Lip Erase does its stuff, followed by a light Lipstick and Lip Conditioner to put the lilt and lift back in…. But the cynosure of this season’s scintillating collaboration is the daring, dramatic slightly demented DSquared2 eye. Have fun with it!

MAC DAZZLEGLASS CREMES


MAC Dazzleglass Creme is available in the following 9 shades:

Sublime Shine Light coral brown with gold pearl
Soft Dazzle Mid-tone peach pink with gold pearl
Perfectly Unordinary Bright yell ow pink with gold pearl
My Favourite Pink Light blue pink with pearl
Do It Up Bright blue pink with pearl
Luscious Spark Light orange with gold pearl
Totally Fab Bright yell ow red with pearl
Creme Allure Bright yell ow plum with pearl
Amorous Deep brown red with pearl

Suggested Retail Price $18.00 U.S./$21.50 CDN


Flashing flecks of lustrous glimmer give lips a new kind of high-beam shine, while the balm-effect of the pillow-top comfort creme keeps the supple going and going. For dazzle with absolute comfort, it's better than brilliant!

MAC STYLE BLACK

 
“From “Back to Black” beehive and eyeliner to Steven “80s” Sprouse-in-the-House kohl and fringe to Gareth Pugh London New Goth, Black is simply beyond. Lips, nails, eyes there’s no more dramatic way to declare your desire, separate your sensibility, celebrate your magnetism. They WILL surrender to a Blackfire Glimmerglass, Rapidblack Penultimate Eyeliner, a slash of Greasepaint Stick, and the hot scratch of Baby Goth Girl Nail Lacquer. Style Black is a way of life, a shadowy and mysterious figure of fantasy, even for just one dark and dangerous night.”

There are black lips, dark smoky eyes and plenty of Goth looks to be created with this collection. With hardly a hint of color MAC gives us the Style Black collection allowing us to unleash our innermost fantasies of darkness.

Now I must admit when I first saw this collection I was not really impressed with all the dark looks and such. However, gradually this collection has won me over. What really sold me were the CCBs (cream color bases). Typically when you layer an eye shadow over top of a CCB it takes the color to a whole new level. So you can imagine what using a darker CCB will do for the shadow. It gives it an unbelievable burst of color and adds plenty of definition to the eye. So you better believe I snapped up both of them – black and bat black.
