The MAC Pedro Lourenco Collection for Summer 2014: Classic Cosmetics for a Far-Future Catwalk - Makeup and Beauty Blog

Wearing the new MAC Pedro Lourenco Nude Quad on my eyes, Amplified Lipstick in Truthful Reddish on my lips, Pulverisation Chroma Duo in Corol on my cheeks and Foam Colour Base in Hush on my upper cheekbones

What struck me first was the packaging. The black confronting the aureate. It pulled me in like a tractor beam. Classic and edgy at the same time, a la Blade Runner, which is a style I aspire to achieve, on occasion.

The blackness cases are different than usual for MAC and accept this rubbery texture, then they're kind of NARS-y, and that coupled with the makeup — the nude eyes, cheeks and bright red lips — add up to a recipe for instant makeup lust.

At that place are definitely things here I'll clothing, and actually, a lot of them are pieces I already wear. The new quad has two of my long-time favorite MAC eyeshadows, Sable and All That Glitters, and the Foam Colour Base is a re-promoted shade called Hush, which I absolutely dearest.

A couple of the lipsticks also wait like classic MAC shades I wear all the time, like Truthful Red, which looks a little like Lady Danger but has an Amplified stop instead of a Matte, and then it has that polish. And Ruby is kind of like Russian Red, but with the Amplified finish instead of the Matte.

So, I don't really think the release shatters new ground. The edgiest pieces hither are probably the Lipglasses, which are these sort of weird metallic colors similar Gold Mirror, a neutral golden, and Mirror, a neutral silver, both of which, I think, seem very indicative of Pedro'south sometimes sci-fi manner, from what I've seen of his work.

I tell you what, though — if I were a robot, I'd be all over those Lipglasses in two ticks of an animatronic heartbeat, beep-beep!

I was so stoked most the Corol Blush Duo before seeing information technology in person. It's the large compact with the black matte packaging and Pedro'due south proper name beyond the front. Simply so I tried it on, and it really wasn't working for me. The powder's extremely difficult and difficult to pick up with a brush or finger. When I did these swatches, I actually had to chip abroad at the powder with a fingernail to free upwards some product.

But other than the Duo, I like the drove. I think there's something cooly futuristic and archetype nigh it at the same fourth dimension, like something you'd see in a sci-fi movie starring Milla Jovovich as the main character, and her optics would be shining with the sparkling nude and statuary and rosy tones.

I tin see it at present… She's walking downward a dusty, decaying urban alley between alpine, grimy buildings belongings an oversized plasma gun. Her cheeks are highlighted and glowing, and her lips are bright cherry. 🙂

Beautiful and accessible, with an edge — that's how I encounter this collection. If y'all take a friend yous've wanted to convert into a MAC fan, this is the drove where you agree her mitt and guide her into the light.

Allow me know what you lot call up.
