MAC A Fantasy of Flowers: Like the Best Parts of Spring (Without the Allergies) - Makeup and Beauty Blog

MAC A Fantasy of Flowers

Jump. Fifth course. The mid '80s. You couldn't miss me as I navigated the hallowed halls of Alvarado Middle Schoolhouse, not because of my terrible pilus (I had the same 'do as all of my Filipino uncles… Ugh, then tragic!), but because I was a walking floral nightmare. Not a floral fantasy, similar MAC's new 34-piece A Fantasy of Flowers collection.

My floral jacket. Information technology. Was. Hideous. Information technology was the jacket I wore with every single outfit, even though it didn't go with anything, and it just made me look crazy. It had this obnoxious floral print with all sorts of flowers but mushed on peak of each other. It was ugly, just I thought I was the sh*t.

This collection isn't like that jacket at all. It's colorful, but in a balanced way that makes sense. Information technology'southward similar wandering through a carefully thought out cottage garden…

There are lots of floral hues, pinks, corals peaches, purples and roses grounded with earthier browns and lush greens. It'south like a garden early on a dewy morning, and everything is fresh, and there's a sense of newness, and that'south considering there are lots of shimmery finishes here that take hold of the light, just like drops of dew take hold of sunlight on flower petals.

Most of the shimmer comes from the Mineralize products — Center Shadows, Blushes and Skinfinishes.

This isn't the kind of collection where the cheeks and eyes look real and natural, and for me that'due south the fantastical role of this floral fantasy. The shimmers are turned up! — and wearing them makes me experience similar a more glamorous version of my everyday cocky. And so, you add the really vivid Fluidlines and Pigments in the release, which are like the argument pieces for me, and you go fifty-fifty more fantastical.

A Fantasy of Flowers Mineralize Skinfinishes ($30 each) and Mineralize Blushes ($25 each)

In that location's a lot going on with cheeks and optics here, and perhaps because of that MAC kept the lips relatively tame. The colors — pink, coral, peach, berry and rose — remind me of misted flower petals and fancy bouquets… All six of the Lipsticks are in MAC'southward creamy Lustre terminate, and the six glosses are Cremesheen Spectacles, so the lippies are pretty much sheer-to-medium coverage. Nothing too heavy or super opaque, and even the darkest and brightest lip shades are sheer plenty to allow some of your natural lip color to peek through.

I had some fun with these pics, just I accept a lot more planned for this release — looks and more than in-depth reviews. The release arrives on counters tomorrow and is available at present on maccosmetics.com.

Take a stroll through MAC's latest garden, and let me know what you think. 🙂
