“CUTE!” The most fanciful, fun and flattering compliment a young, modern trendsetter could ever want! Our version is the girliest kind of international glam possible, a style ride that combines postage-stamp-sized puppies with pixie swizzle-stick fashion and butterfly kisses for cute boys and even cuter shoes! Cupcake icing colours, vintage romance, an ATM card with Hello Kitty on it – and a way of life that says “yes!” to everything adorable! Come on, get happy, with the multi-culti cutie, from Tokyo to Toronto to Paris with love! Pastel shades for Eye Quads, Lipstick, Plushglass and Nail Lacquer…And, due to popular demand, we’re completely cute-ifying three favourite Lip Pencil shades from last season that will join the fun and frolic. Flash! You’ll ♥ the Mineralize Blush with the sweet heart baked right into it. If it shines, shimmers and pops it’s completely, contagiously, cute!

The all-bronze, all-the-time trend is ascending. High and low, Jersey Shore to Jakarta, it’s always sunny somewhere, and “orange” is officially over! M∙A∙C BRONZE EVERYDAY is reflecting the trend to be tan in all seasons, and it’s no accident that our Bronzing innovations are making it all that much more attractive…and easy. Great news: It’s back, for good…Skinsheen Leg Spray the long-wear gel/mousse body makeup that sheers on legs, arms, décolletage for a subtle golden glow. Water resistant three times over. Love your Lustre Drops? They’re back too, for that touch of chic luminosity, an ethereal glow wherever applied. Two new golden shades of Mineralize Skinfinish/Natural plus Mineralize Skinfinish and Bronzing Powders complete the collection, making M∙A∙C all about one-stop Bronzing.

Make Up For Ever does HD…Not Retouched!!!

This week, Make Up For Ever launched its HD NOT RETOUCHED campaign.  Everyone knows (or should know) that these days ads, photos and videos are retouched.  You may be surprised at how much is done, lashes drawn in, fine lines and wrinkles erased, dimples eradicated, pretty much the subject is made perfect.  So folks should not even stress out trying to look like a model in a magazine, ‘cuz a lot of it is not real.  By highlighting their HD line, they hope to show that anyone could get makeup with a flawless finish.

On March 3rd, M.A.C. is releasing a brand new collection of creme blushes that are being added to their permanent collection.  Finally, something that I don’t have to rush out to get!!!  I love creme blushes and I can’t wait to swatch these! Great for those with dry skin or who live in a humid climate.  These are very similar to the creme blushes that came out with the M.A.C. in Lillyland collection.

There are six very basic, neutral colours to start with.  Nothing to bright or bold.
