MAC Collections Review: Cindy Sherman

MAC Cosmetics is one of the best makeup brands in the world today. Teaming up with MAC to introduce the MAC Collection is Cindy Sherman. This woman is truly an icon in her own right. She is one of the world’s best photographers and is widely recognized for her theoretical art. The Cindy Sherman Collection is scheduled to launch Thursday, Sept. 29, 2011, in North America and in October 2011 internationally. The shades available for the Cindy Sherman Collection include both intense and bold shades, making it a collection worth valuing. In fact, whether you are a MAC enthusiast or a makeup enthusiast, you can appreciate this collection.

When it comes to MAC Cosmetics, there are simply no limits. That is one of the reasons I love this makeup brand so much and this collection is no exception. For this particular collection, MAC is introducing not one, but eight lipstick shades to makeup lovers around the world. These shades include Fleshpot, Violetta, X-S, Plum Bright, Neon Orange, Show Orchid, Fusion Pink and Ruby Woo. Plum Bright (which is a stunning purple) is limited edition and will only be available for a limited time. My favorite shade is definitely Fleshpot (which is a pale muted pink beige with a satin finish). You can purchase MAC lipsticks for the Cindy Sherman Collection at your nearest MAC Counter or on the official website, maccosmetics.com for $14.50. Don’t forget – 9-29-11.

The Cindy Sherman Collection by MAC Cosmetics cannot come soon enough, and as that day approaches the anticipation builds up. For the Cindy Sherman Collection, MAC has decided to introduce four new lipglass shades. These shades include: C-Thru (which is a beautiful shimmery peachy beige), Pink Fade (which is a subtle, yet intense pale pink), Orange Tempera (which is a stunning pale peach) and Good Times (which is a gorgeous pale mauve). I love wearing lipglass alone but also on top of my favorite lipstick and/or lip product. These shades are all limited edition shades, which means once they are gone, they are gone for good. Often times, MAC does do an array of repromotes, but not for a while. You can purchase MAC’s lipglass at your nearest MAC retailer or on the official website for just $14.50. If you love lipgloss, you are guaranteed to love MAC’s lipglass that much more.

One of my favorite products is definitely “Lip Erase” and guess what? For the Cindy Sherman Collection, MAC is bringing it to you in “Dim” which is a neutral shade, that looks very similar to a 37. If you are aware of how MAC measures skin tones, just visit your nearest MAC makeup counter to get matched. Depending on your undertone, you are either an NC (cool undertone) or an NW (warm undertone) and the number represents the actual shade to your skin. The shades start at and go up to. I am an NC42. This product is amazing because it gets rid of your pigment and allows you to use any color on top of your lips. It does not dry out your lips. I love wearing this alone and then applying a nude lip on top. Lip Erase will be available to purchase at your nearest MAC retailer or on the official website, maccosmetics.com for just $18.50.

Ever since MAC introduced the Mineralized Skinfishes, I must say that I have been quite a fan. Exclusively for the Cindy Sherman Collection, MAC will be introducing two new Skinfinish shades. These shades include “Lightscapade” (which is stunning subtle beige with a multi-dimensional shimmer) and “Porcelain Pink” (which is a gorgeous light coral pink with gold veining and tones). I personally love both, so I am on the fence when it comes to which one I want to buy first. You can purchase these MAC Mineralized Skinfinish shades at your nearest MAC Counter or on the official website for just $28. I would definitely recommend these to anyone.

The Cindy Sherman Collection by MAC Cosmetics will also be introducing a new shade of bronzing powder. The shade is “Solar Riche,” which is a neutral mid-toned deep orange brown. You can purchase MAC’s bronzing powder at your nearest MAC Counter and/or retailer or on the official website, maccosmetics.com, right now for just $23.

When it comes to makeup, how important is eyeshadow? I would say very important. For this particular collection, MAC has decided to introduce not only one new eyeshadow shade but five new eyeshadow shades. These shades include Three Ring Yellow (a vibrant yellow green pearl), Passionate (a true mid-toned red matte), Blue Candy (a fresh blue with a satin finish), Shock-a-Holic (a daring satin deep purple) and Royale (a vivacious violet matte). You can purchase MAC’s Eyeshadow at your nearest MAC retailer or on the official website. Are you ready for 9-29-11?

MAC is very well known for its gel liner. Called “Fluidline,” this amazing product truly is responsible for changing the makeup world for the better. For the Cindy Sherman Collection, MAC Cosmetics is introducing a new, limited edition shade called “Ash Violet,” which is a stunning deep purple. Also for this very bright, yet bold and fabulous MAC Collection, “Blacktrack,” which is a solid flat black shade, will appear as one of the primary fluidline shades. MAC’s Fluidline is not only long-lasting, but it does not dry or crease, so you don’t have to worry about any mess. Fluidline will be available at your nearest MAC retailer or on the official website, maccosmetics.com, for just $15.

The Kohl Powder is definitely an interesting twist to this collection. For the Cindy Sherman Collection, MAC is introducing a repromote on “Feline,” which is an intense yet rich black. The Kohl Powder can be worn as a powder or foiled into a wet liner. It is one of the most flexible eyelining products in the beauty world today, and I truly recommend it to anyone looking for a phenomenal eyelining product. You can purchase the Kohl Powder at your nearest MAC Counter for just $15. It is limited edition. This eyeliner has turned into one of my favorite MAC products.

Are you excited for the Jumbo Penultimate Eyeliner? I don’t know about you, but I am. For the Cindy Sherman Collection, MAC is repromoting “Rapidblack,” which is a very black. It is undeniably adaptable, so anyone can wear this liner. The thing I love most about the Jumbo Penultimate Eyeliner is the fact that is used for an array of purposes. It is also long-lasting. This amazing addition to MAC Cosmetics is available to purchase for just $19.50. To purchase the Jumbo Penultimate Eyeliner, simply visit maccosmetics.com right now or visit your nearest MAC retailer.

One thing to admire about the Cindy Sherman Collection is the fact that MAC is introducing an array of new shades. Some may be brand new and some may be previous limited editions that are being repromoted. Either way, good things always come out of it and in the end. You get what you pay for. I am very excited for the Chromagraphic Pencil. The Cindy Sherman introduces not one but four shades. These shades include Process Magenta (a bright, yet audacious magenta matte), Rich Purple (an incredibly impenetrable purple), Hi-Def Cyan (a true Cyan blue) and Basic Red (an astonishing flexible red). You can buy the Chromagraphic Pencils for $15 on Thursday, Sept. 29 at your nearest MAC Counter or on the official website.

I have to admit, I definitely like the idea that MAC is introducing two new eyeshadow quad palettes for the Cindy Sherman Collection. They include The Parlor Smoke Eyeshadow Quad and The Angel Flame Quad. The Parlor Smoke Eyeshadow Quad includes Parlor Smoke (a beautiful mauve grey frost), Steel (a gorgeous black pearl), Indigo (a deep navy matte) and Cross Cultural (a simple, yet beautiful neutral brown matte). The Angel Flame Quad has Gravel (which is a stunning bluish gray matte), Angel Flame (which is an intense coral frost with an iridescent pink/yellow tone), Feather Pink (which is mid toned pink with a satin finish) and Chamomile (which is a soft, yet pale satin yellow). You can purchase both of these quad palettes at your nearest MAC retailer or on the official website for just $38. They are both limited edition, so the time is now to get them.

With the Cindy Sherman Collection, MAC will be introducing a new pair of false eyelashes. These eyelashes will be dramatic but not theatrical or over the top. MAC’s Lash will be available Sept. 29, 2011 at your nearest MAC Counter and/or retailer and on the official website for just $15.

Pigments are incredibly amazing because they are used for a variety of purposes. Out of the many pigments I have tried, I truly believe that MAC Cosmetics creates the best. Not only are they extremely pigmented, producing a color payoff that is incredible, these fabulous additions to MAC Cosmetics have the least fallout of any pigment product I have ever tried. Exclusively for the Cindy Sherman Collection, MAC has decided to create not one but eight pigment shades, including several limited editions and repromotes. These shades include Tan, Emerald Dusk, Blue Storm, Starless Night, Neo-Orange, Magenta Madness, Violet, and Golden Olive. I absolutely love the “Tan” (which is a stunning muted brownish pink bronze) and also the “Golden Olive” (which is a gorgeous gold/green frost). You can purchase these MAC pigments at your nearest MAC counter or on the official website, maccosmetics.com, right now for just $20. Whether you want to use them on your eyes, your lips or even your face (depending on the shade), you will definitely get great use out of them.

MAC’s Nail Lacquer is one of the best nail polishes around and what better way to introduce two new shades than to introduce them with the Cindy Sherman Collection. These two shades include “Coco Clay” (which is a very adaptable, yet vivid warm chocolate) and “Oyster Shell” (which is a generically beautiful light stone grey). You can purchase these two nail polish shades at your nearest MAC retailer. You can also purchase them on the official website. They cost just $15 each. They are also limited edition. Did I mention that these shades are flexible?

If you are a fan of bold colors that truly make a statement, you are going to love the Cindy Sherman Collection by MAC Cosmetics. I hope that on Thursday, Sept. 19, 2011, you will visit your nearest MAC Counter because I know that I will be visiting mine. I am impressed with the Cindy Sherman Collection and would highly recommend it to not only the average MAC aficionado, but to anyone who wears makeup.
