The MAC Selena Matte Eyeshadows and Lipsticks Take Center Stage - Makeup and Beauty Blog
¡Finalmente! The MAC Selena drove!
Fans of dearest Mexican-American singer Selena Quintanilla-Perez, whose life was tragically cutting curt in 1995 at 23 years quondam, made this drove happen, and MAC heeded the call.
While I was testing and reviewing, I learned a lot of things I didn't know about Selena, like how her favorite colors were purple and black and her favorite flower was a white rose.
I'1000 sorry to say that I didn't know much about her earlier this release, only I did know that she rocked bold reddish lips and sang a couple of songs that were very popular when I was in college.
Her artistic legacy and spirit inspired the 13-slice MAC Selena collection, which Selena'due south sister Suzette helped create. Information technology includes three new shades of lipstick ($18 each), including a dupe for a red taken from the makeup case Selena took with her when she went on the route; five new eyeshadows ($17 each); a new chroma duo ($29); a new gloss ($17); and three re-promoted items from the MAC permanent line ($xviii Opulash Mascara, $21 Boot Black Liquid Eye Liner and the $35 129SH Powder/Blush Brush).
MAC Select Obsessed & Devoted Members (MAC'south version of Sephora VIB) get early access to the collection in an sectional pre-auction September 28. For anybody else, it arrives October 1 on the MAC website and in stores October vi through November 17, 2016.
Everything about this collection feels intimate and personal to me, from the names of the products, several of which are named later on Selena songs, to the royal and black packaging.
Mad about the mattes
Please forgive me for my accent when I say, "Aye, Dios Mio!" (I have THE WORST Spanish emphasis always) over the matte eyeshadows.
They're absolutely fantastic! I was freakin' going nuts when I swatched them for the first time because it was similar dipping a finger into soft whipped foam…
They're feathery and lush like the Urban Decay matte eyeshadows (but with considerably less fallout), and when I blend them, I can't really tell where one shade ends and the next shade begins.
All of the three mattes are besides neutrals — a warm brown, a light beige with pink undertones and a deep blackened navy — which is totally on bespeak for the '90s revival happening now.
The two shimmer shadows — a warm pink and a pearly violet — blend just equally well, and I think they're fine for calculation some color, but really, I think the stars of the show are the mattes.
Selena's signature bold lips
Selena rocked bold lip colors, and two of the 3 lipsticks in the collection reflect that. I don't call up you can go wrong with either of the bolder colors.
I thought I was going to need a liner to pull off deep vino Dreaming of You (MAC's Matte finish) and muted cerise Como La Flor (Amplified finish), but I'one thousand able to use both colors straight from the tubes. Plus, one layer is enough.
Both shades experience reasonably thick, which helps to continue them in identify, and that's key.
Trust me — information technology'south so Not fun when a slippery red or wine lippie ends up across your lip line. I've done it before (running around town unintentionally looking like the Joker), and it own't cute.
And, of class, beingness the totally predictable nude lipstick fiend that I am, I totally and completely love the nude shade, Amor Prohibido. It's a pinkish mid-toned chocolate-brown with MAC's Glaze finish.
I know information technology looks sheer in the swatch, simply oh, baby! — when yous get it on…
Closing thoughts…
The silver glitter flecks in bubblegum pink Bidi Bidi Bom Bom Lipglass are on the bigger side, so it's VERY sparkly.
But information technology'southward also slightly gritty, and I'm not as well crazy about that…
I besides take mixed feelings near the matte blushes in the Techno Cumbio Chroma Duo…
Yes, the brown side is super soft (just equally soft as the eyeshadows), but the pink side isn't. It's harder and super sheer.
The colors are also a little difficult for me to wear (I'grand an NC42), then I dunno… The chocolate-brown nigh looks like a taupe-ish pink on my pare, so it might be better for contouring, which I'm not really into at the moment.
For certain, I recollect the matte eyeshadows and all 3 of the lipsticks are totes worth your time. Consider the pink and purple shimmer eyeshadows, too, if you're a fiend for colorful eye looks.
Your friendly neighborhood dazzler addict,
Karen
