As the summer soars, it’s time to invest in a make-up that protects you from the sun, doesn’t melt off your face and contains pretty colours that you can wear everyday.
Just in time for the sun to pop out his head, MAC have released a range of collections that are sure to make you feel and look fabulous all summer long.
For your face, Pro Longwear SPF 20 Compact Foundation now provides the same incredible ten-hour wear of Pro Longwear Foundation, in a lightweight cream compact perfectly suited for touch-ups on the go. Available in 17 shades, from light to medium to dark, Pro Longwear SPF 20 Compact Foundation glides on comfortably, with a natural matte finish and broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection. Perfect for these sunny days.
To bring summer colours into your life, go for the MAC Pedro Lournco collection which includes daring hues juxtaposed against soft nudes, all encased in limited-edition packaging. The Nude Quad gives eyes a subtle metallic finish, while cheeks are flushed in Powder Blush (Duo). Cream Colour Base adds an icy lustre to eyes and cheeks as two Nail Lacquers provide an haute flash of colour for a chic complement to any look. Lips make a definitive style statement and a subtle swipe of Lipglass is the perfect finish, guaranteed to intrigue.
Not forgetting the brows, MAC The Waterproof Brow helps to define brows and accentuate their natural shape. The waterproof formula is sweat-proof, smudge-free and humidity-resistant – perfect for when it gets too hot to handle.
Finish the look with Zoom Waterfast Lash, Splashproof Lash or False Lashes Waterproof and your brows are gorgeous to go.
Now you are summer ready!
Kelly Osbourne and her mum Sharon Osbourne are collaborating with MAC cosmetics to create their very own range and we are very excited! The mother-daughter duo will be unveiling their 26-piece range in the UK this week and we can’t wait to see it.
The collection is based on Kelly’s love of vibrant colours, although the 29-year-old admits that they were slightly tweaked “so they’re a bit more for every woman”.
The range features mineralized make-up, lip and eye pencils, blushes and bronzers.
This is a dream come true for Kelly, especially as they are the first mother-daughter duo to design their own collection for MAC.
The Fashion Police host said: “Ever since I can remember, MAC has been my favourite make-up, not only for their wide range of colours but their ingenuity and forward thinking and how they are able to change public perception through the use of make-up.”
The range launches on Tuesday, 10th June and we can’t wait!
There is something about mineralize make-up that really makes you feel like you are flaunting the no make-up look, even though you are caked in the stuff.
MAC have the ultimate collection of mineralize make-up – here are our favourites from their collection:
MAC Mineralise Skinfinish
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish works great alone or as a setting powder and its super light texture helps to smooth out blemishes and uneven patches. It also works pretty well as a highlighter as it helps to lift skin tone and illuminate the cheeks without leaving a flaky texture. Flawless look here we come!
MAC Mineralize LipGlass
Seriously, nobody (and we mean nobody!) will be able to resist lips that resemble glass! Helping to keep lips soft and silky, MAC’s Mineralize LipGlass will give you a luminous, modern shine. With so many different colours to choose from including Modest, a soft beige, New Love, a berry cream, and Tender, a light pink, you will have no problem finding the right shade for you.
However, before you put a hint of make-up anywhere near your face, we recommend that you prep with MAC Prep + Prime CC Colour Correct. It helps your foundation stay on your face that bit longer – we could all do with some help with this – it also brightens your skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines, including acne cars.
You can never say we don’t let you in on the best that’s out there!
M·A·C Cosmetics were the Official Makeup Partner of the Irish Film & Television Awards for the eight time this year; however, it seems celebs were more natural this year than in other years.
Talking about the makeup style this year M·A·C Senior Artist, Lesley Keane, said she noticed “a move towards more natural beauty with a focus on well defined brows and full lashes.”
It seems warm and deep colours are the top tones this season as the celebs sported caramels and apricots. Pastels are still holding their own as Keane noticed lavender was a popular colour for eyes along with jade green.
Classic metallic’s in golds, coppers and pewters will always be around and were popular on the red carpet again this year.
According to Lesley, others went the complete opposite from the natural look and “adopted a more individual look inspired by catwalk trends” including “orange, fuchsia, lavender and even gothic purple colours”.
M·A·C makeup artists were at the event’s Beauty Suite to provide makeup services to the stars and were backstage for ‘on the spot’ touch-ups for guests and presenters.
The 17-year-old girl who stole the Grammy’s red carpet with her signature vampy lipstick, is now set to release her own make-up collection with MAC cosmetics.
New Zealand singer Lorde, admitted that she’s always been a fan of the high-end make-up brand and she even recalls buying her first MAC lippy:
“I remember saving up to buy my very first MAC lipstick (Snob) at 14, and it was used by about 20 of my friends,” the young star told The Cut.
There’s no doubt that the teen’s line of make-up products will reflect her gothic style. So if you’re a fan of her vampy look, then it’s only a matter of time before you can have it too!
Unfortunately there’s no official launch date, but she is set to release her collection later this year.
