MAC Cosmetics - A/W '10 Recap

M·A·C COSMETICS’ BIGGEST SEASON EVER: FALL/WINTER 2010 FASHION WEEKS



This Fall/Winter 2010 season marked the 15th Anniversary of M·A·C Cosmetics involvement in New York Fashion Week and our impact in London , Paris and Milan was bigger than ever before! M·A·C Cosmetics supported nearly 200 shows during the Fall/Winter 2010 Collections. M·A·C continued as the official sponsor of London Fashion week, had a strong presence in Milan and Paris, and hosted shows, events and presentations at M·A·C & Milk and throughout New York.



Fall/Winter 2010 was an inventive and inspiring season for beauty. This season, Makeup Artists asked the question: “What is luxurious makeup?” The answer was not opulence, but, rather, a sense of individual enhancement based in reality. Lyne Desnoyers, Director of Makeup Artistry for M·A·C, called it “flirting with luxury on a contemporary face.”



A few memorable products that created the latest trends include:



M·A·C Opulash This new mascara with a supersized brush produced plush, extravagant lashes on the runway. Adding dramatic volume and curl, it formed lush lashes - bigger, badder, more opulent eyes. Opulash was key in such shows as DSquared2, Blumarine, Max Mara and Chado Ralph Rucci.


M·A·C Prolongwear SPF 10 Foundation: Creamy and lightweight, this yet-to-be-introduced foundation was a hit! Providing ample playtime and easy blending, it also demonstrated 15-hours of wearability and garnered raves backstage at Chado Ralph Rucci, PORTS 1961 and Timo Weiland.


M·A·C Eye Kohl in Smolder A backstage essential, Smolder Eye Kohl lined lids throughout all four cities. Its creamy texture and versatility allowed for smudged, smokey looks as well as dramatic, etched dark definition. It framed eyes at such shows as L.A.M.B., Zac Posen, Tadashi Shoji and Vivienne Westwood Gold Label.


M·A·C Lip Pencil in Cherry: Forget subtlety – this season, bold, bright lips were front and center. Lip Pencil in Cherry was the crucial ingredient, forming, priming and making colour come forward. Paired most often with Lady Danger and Russian Red Lipsticks, it was seen at DSquared2, Doo.Ri, Donna Karan and Moschino.

Georgia Jagger Introduces New Rimmel Colour Show Off Lipstick

Rimmel London has always been one of my favourite more affordable cosmetic lines, they always keep themselves ahead of the latest tends & conjure up fab new products, not to forget a line of fabulous famous faces promoting their products!

So the new lippy is called 'Colour Show Off' with a new state of the art formula boosted with Colour Fix Pigments that gives full on high definition colour with a soft but rich velvet finish on the lips, perfect for any occasion!
Lipstick Tips - For best results when applying a vibrant lipstick use a lip brush, begin by taking a small amount of your foundation on the lips to hold the colour, line the lips then fill, blott twice & re-coat each time. For an extra matt finish, take a little face powder over the first coat after blotting then re-apply the lipstck.

Evolution

So I have this dArLiNg friend in Virginia..."Hi Anna!!!" =). She sent me something that I thought needed to be shared. I, myself, have had troubled with self esteem and not fitting in when I was younger especially in Jr. High. I was pushed and made fun of for not being pretty enough and for SURE not wearing the "right" clothes. As Cher says in Clueless, "The wounds of adolescence can take years to heal." Boy do I EvEr think that's true. As years have gone by I have learned to accept who I am but of course I still wish I could change a few things....why? Because I see people on magazine covers, on the red carpet and ads on TV. The more I have been working in the industry however, I have been seeing all of the "work" that goes into making them look the way they appear to us. She sent me a video so that you can see the unrealistic touches that are made to make someone look flawless. We all know it's done but I think seeing the process will help the rest of us give each other a break. I especially love this one named "Evolution" and "Amy" Let me know what you think.

Starlet Series Rockin' it like Madonna

One of you lovely ladies out there sent in a request for this beautiful Madonna look:

After way too many problems with technological difficulties, and retake after retake, it seems as though the third time really is the charm (even if it may cause severe eye rolling):

I hope you like the tutorial, after watching other tutorials I realized I'm quite long-winded and tried to just get straight to the point. If you have any questions or would like me to explain something further just let me know.

*Disclaimer: I realize I say the word "Okay" way too often in this tutorial, I'll work on it.*
