Truth moment: I would probably not know who Hayley Williams is if it wasn't for a very special 14 year old (14 & a half, LOL) in my family who is a HUGE Paramore fan. I actually dig some of the music I've heard from the group and since I have an affinity for female-fronted bands (Garbage, No Doubt, Rufus featuring Chaka Khan), I had to check out MAC's latest collaboration with Hayley. Hayley wears orange like nobody's business so this collection centers around that color. The collection includes an eyeshadow, lipstick, nail polish along with a re-promote of Lightscapade mineralized skinfinish. I was only intrigued by Daydreaming eyeshadow and Sounds Like Noise lipstick since I don't have a good track record with MAC nail polishes and Lightscapade doesn't knock my socks off. The eyeshadow is amaze-balls as all Veluxe Pearls are and I am LOVING the MAC matte lipstick formula right now (the Strength and Fashion Sets collections featured mattes that
I. can't. stop. wearing). I think if you are a woman of color, this is a no- brainer as orange tones flatter darker pigmented skin beyond belief (NARS Taj Mahal, anyone?). If you are of a lighter skintone, this is a perfect way to branch into brighter colors if you tend to play it safe. This lipstick looks beautiful on Hayley AND me (if I do say so myself) so no matter your complexion, go for it!
Both the eyeshadow and lipstick retail for $15 each and can only be purchased via
www.maccosmetics.com for a limited time. Here's the eyeshadow and lipstick swatched on my NC50 skin (sharing's ok as long as you give credit, ya dig?) Enjoy!
