this seems waaaaay to summery for winter!
Which is perfect for me. I wear bright colors in the winter to contrast against the cold and gloomy weather and I wear neutrals in the summer (=
Same here!!!! Ohhm my goood im lovin this collection!!
Me too! I LOVE wearing coral lip shades in the winter. Totally cheers me up and makes me look alive when everythings casting a gray shadow on my skin
hehe, agree
strong colors look nice against pale skin in the winter
so funny i do the same thing!!! winter needs some cheer and summer nuetrals are great for playing out side!!
Don’t care! Looks soooo vibrant and pretty!
I totally agree! I have to admit though that the greenish/yellowish (?) eyeshadow does look rather interesting. Lol
It is really cool! I seen one of the pixiwoo sisters on youtube use it in a video…I don’t know how they got it so early but it’s really bright and almost looks chartreuse. I can’t wait for this collection
Who cares? BRIIIIGHT COLORSSSS.
This is too bright for what I would wear for Fall.
It isn’t Fall everywhere in the world though; in the Southern Hemisphere it’s being released in Spring, which is perfect for us
Some people don’t follow trends.
And thank heavens for that. Trends are too boring and way too safe.
This winter is all about happy plums and red-oranges.
Apparently bright colors are a must for the new season, not only about makeup, I’m talking about fashion too.
Looks fun!
OH MY GOD! I dont know who this person is but this seems like the coolest collection MAC has done since I have been using them. Everything looks amazing, especially the eyeshadows!!!
This truly reminds me of MAC collections of old, where you could clearly see the concept behind the collection and each product within the collection van be threaded together.
It reminds me a bit of the Temptalia for MAC collection!
I still think they should do that.
So many MAC collections this coming season that I cannot pretend to be excited sadly. Or perhaps I’m being too negative.
Gah, seeing more info and images now, I’m actually curious to see how these will perform. >.< Darnit. Those quads. Those eyeshadows. Those nail lacquers. I must see how they perform. -_-
I’m so excited for this collection! Not only does it look to be chock full of brights, but it’s also connected with one of my favorite revolutionary photographers!
ooooo hot pink, yes!!
OHMYGOD. I love Cindy Sherman. I haven’t been interested in a MAC collection in…. forever. But this is amazing.
Another electric collect I actually hope the warm pink lipstick is permanent.
I’m good for bright shades now that I’ve up together a raibow palette from Inglot. *_*
Oh! Lanscape is comming back. I like Porcelain Pink but it’s just a pink tint version of By Candlelight.
Lip Erase … terrible product for longevity. Use a flesh tone pencil on your lips instead.
this collection looks like a must in my makeup collection since i love bright and bold colors!! it might be my second biggest haul since semi precious!
by the way Christine, is the glam glass collection going to launch tomorrow?? thanks & sorry if i sound annoying its just that im obsessed.
I don’t know – I’ve been waiting 2 weeks to hear from MAC about the status and nobody has gotten back to me.
it is coming out on 12/26/11.
CINDY SHERMAN! OMG! I never would’ve expected this. She is this really interesting visual artist–I love her “self portraits” where she does insane things to herself and her image…she has been really influential to me as an artist in thinking about self-representation. This is such an awesome collaboration! (assuming this is *the* Cindy Sherman they’re referring to)
haha I am so with you I saw her name and flipped – I can’t wait to see the marketing visuals!
So summery and fun!I liked since I’m always on summer when MAC release the fall/winter collection hehe
as long as their pigmented
Fiiiinally, a collection I actually like.
Wait, THE Cindy Sherman, photographer and artist? AWESOME.
The artist, I believe.
She is very much so a photographer as well
Lipsticks and that green pigment type of product (green jar) look very promising:)
wow, in love with all the lipsticks!!
I honestly don’t care for them. I am a neutral kinda gal.
lipsticks pretty pretty pretty!
can i ask you something off-topic do you know dupe for MAC Waternymph eyeshadow , its my favorite and i cant buy it anymore ?
I don’t, sorry!
you could maybe see if you can still find a trip: 5 cool eyes palette from summer 2009 – it had waternymph in it….
I want all four lipsticks!
Love, love, love all thee colours!!!
SO! EXCITED!! Love the ultra bright colors, woohoo!!!!!
I love all the lipsticks!!
Probably going to pass– but the purple and yellow look cool!
love the vibrancy
This is truly exciting! Cannot actually wait for these to come out!
The lady at the pro store in London told me that Neaon Orange was going to be discontinued – is this how they sell their lines through, or was I told porkies!? It is a little disappointing that there are so many pro products included, but I suppose that is good for the wallet. May still buy Show Orchid and Fusion Pink as they are on my ‘one day’ list and will save a trip to the pro store!
Mac are killing me with the amount of collections that are coming out!
I can’t wait to see the description of the chartreuse/olive shadow, orange lipstick and the coral pigment. I hope there aren’t any re-promotes.
I LOVE CINDY SHERMAN!! I teach film and art theory and visual culture and love to discuss her work in depth. I have read many a college paper devoted to her untitled film stills. i love that she’s collaborating with MAC. She also did a print ad with marc jacobs some time ago which I used in my lecture. Can’t wait for this collection!
I agree! She was one of my favorites when I used to do Visual Arts in high school, her work is amazing so I’m really excited for this collection!
I love crazy bright colours! And these colours are amazing!
The green pigment looks pretty.
holy hell, i cannot wait!!!!!!!!!!
I’m not interested in any of the products shown but I’m very interested in the visuals for this collection. Cindy Sherman is a very important and influential artist!
Mmmm, those shadows!
Whens te release date? plzzzz dont say september
All of the information I have is posted on the blog, Morena! As mentioned in the post, this is very preliminary information!
The purple and blue eyeshadows and purple and magenta pigment!!! i wanttt!
i like the light blue eyeliner
Christine, thanks for the info on this. I haven’t seen you post any reviews in the glam glass collection? Is it still being released tomorrow?
I don’t have any product from Glamglass, so I can’t review anything, sorry! I don’t know if it will be – nobody has confirmed it is, but nobody is saying it is officially delayed. I’ve been waiting for confirmation from MAC on the delay and new release date for 2 weeks now. Sorry, I can’t do anything else
I love, love, LOVE bright colors! These should pop real nice against my NW43 skin.
Wow, everything looks amazing. I am so excited for this collection! I’m going to have to start saving now to be able to afford everything I want!
Heck I say if it’s too vibrant and bright for fall/winter, get it and hold onto it for next spring/summer. Problem solved. LOL!
I am so looking forward to this! This will be great during those cold and gloomy months!
Will there be any collection for fall that feature special packaging?
All information I have is posted on the blog, Holly!
The coral pigment looks very promising…:) I’d have to experiment with the rest but that’s what I love about make-up in general.
Love everything but the pigments…a little too much for me
OMG!!!!!! I want everything!!! The colors are absolutely gorgeous, I’m definitely excited about this collection. I do wish that MAC would slow down on the collections though. I’m having a hard time keeping up, me an my wallet lol
I heard MAC lightscapade MSF will be re-promoted with this collection OMG I can’t wait! need to start saving!!! MY poor wallet!!
Eeee! I love Cindy Sherman! This is so exciting. I wouldn’t have expected her collaborating with any fashion/beauty brands honestly. She’s a makeup anarchist, haha! I do love the bold colors though.
Lightscapade MSF is supposed to debut in this collection as well as Porcelain Pink MSF. Also Jungle Juice is coming back in this collection. There’s going to be 2 Quads (Parlor Smokey and Angel Flame) and 4 lipglasses and a jumbo penultimate liner.
WOOOOO! Too bright for me! And there have been times I have had fun with a bright pink eye shadow. But this one just looks garish.
I’m a HUGE fan of Cindy Sherman!!!! Can’t wait to see more!
Finally! A collection I’m excited about!! COLOUR FTW!!
totally loved! i think spent my all money on those lipstick shades
neeeeed those shadows!!!
Oh wow those are some bright colors, I love them. I cant wait to see the swatches
What a beautiful collection! I am very excited about this & a bunch of the other collections coming out for the Fall. MAC is back!!!!! I can’t wait to find out the color names. So far, I want all four lipsticks and maybe an eyeliner & lipliner.
OMG! This is the most excited over a MAC collection I have been in a long time! Yay!
There is many re-promoted shades in this collection..
Lipsticks – Fusion Pink, Ruby Woo, Show Orchid, Violetta
Pigments – Golden Olive, Magenta Madness, Neo-orange, Violet
Eye shadows – Passionate, Sock-a-holic
This is from what I’ve been finding around, not sure if there are exact and of course there are many other shades i have not listed
Hope it helps those who are craving some more info (:
Hmmm, I vaguely remember reading this on Specktra. I guess it’s a good thing in that I can spend less money because many of these will be repromotes, but bad in that…hey, no new products (or not many anyway)! In any case, I’ve always wanted Show Orchid and now have my eye on Fusion Pink. This collection should give those of us nowhere near a PRO store access to those colors. So yay on that.
Don’t forget Cross-Cultural, Lightscapade and Porcelain Pink MSFs, to say nothing of Feline. Why don’t they just make that permanent, since they repromote it every 5 minutes?
I love it. I do more with my makeup in the Fall/Winter anyways. It’s just too hot and humid where I live to spend a lot of time on my makeup when it’s just going to get all melted off anyway even with primers. But in the winter I love to do more detailed and “full face” makeup.
wow. this is why I love MAC – their collaborations are always the most interesting and refreshing. Cindy Sherman is such a dynamic artist and I’m excited to see what comes out of this!
Cindy Sherman!!!!! One of my all time favorite artists and MAC!!
The info for this collection is available on Specktra.com already. The release date is in August, before the Posh paradise collection.
The information is very, very preliminary – I’m waiting for firmer information. When things are too preliminary, I get flooded with a lot of complaints when things change so the best course of action is to wait
Thanks!
Amazing! I adore Cindy Sherman, her work is so inspiring!
Finally something that looks fun from MAC!
For fall and winter too!! LOVE IT!
Who cares if it’s fall vs. spring? I’d buy that green pressed shadow any day of the year… or the purple… or any of them… The lipstick on the far left looks good, too. :3
What really makes no sense to me is that MAC puts out the brights (particularly in lipsticks) in the Fall & puts out dark colors in the spring & summer.
I agree. I’m very traditional about cosmetics colors. Wearing a coral lip in the dead of winter makes me depressed so does wearing burgundy lips in the summer.
I have my eyes on all the lipsticks !
Wait till you guys see the displayer images!!! *snickers to myself*
Jennifer,
I agree! Wait until they see the displays! WOW! Def. hair raising!
Beautifull colors!!!
I loooove Cindy Sherman! For some reason though, her collaboration with MAC comes as a surprise to me.
I’m split on this….may need to see swatches to make final decision.
Color is actually on trend for fall; mixing a pop of color with simple outfits is what is being seen on runways everywhere! So to everyone who is saying these colors are too bright or summery check the trends! (or be left behind)
Brilliant Colors ♥
Amazing!!!! ♥
love the lipsticks , didn’t everything else !
wow the third lipstick looks gorgeous <3
i love hot pink eyeshadow
Is that Show orchid?
I want all the lipsticks! *swoons*
This collection looks amazing!!! I thought jungle juice lipstick was going to be re-promoted with it? That was what I read in lots of other blogs. I was hoping it would be. Heard great things about it. Also, wasn’t there going to be a bunch of eyeshadow quads and blushes? I’m still excited. MAC is rocking with all these collections. My wallet is crying, but the addict in me is very very happy!!!
Loving those bright lipsticks!
Ooh! Looks exciting. I know I want 2 of the lipglasses (Pink Fade and Orange Tempera are calling me! <3) and Lightscapade MSF (just watch this sell out!) and maybe a lipstick. Alot of the lipsticks seem too bright for my tasting though. And maybe an eyeshadow quad.
Love the products but man those pix are scary -_-
I thought the same thing! Beautiful, vibrant colors, but WTF is up with those pics?!
You should research the artist before saying such things. And maybe re-evaluate why you’re investing in MAC, if they are promoting such photos. Have you not hear of MAC’s mission statement? All ages, races and genders? Does that not equal acceptance of everyone, whether a “weird” performance artist, a drag queen, a home maker mom etc etc.
Grow up.
I agree, they’re pretty freaky looking.
I feel the same but I guess it’s art. I can pass on this collection. Good thing too as I have WAY too much makeup from previous collections.
I rather like the 2nd quad and the Porcelain Pink MSF (though I don’t think it’s near as good as Petticoat) but I have to say, the woman in the first photo looks like some of the women my mom used to hang out with in the 50′s, who thought they were “glam” but who really looked like old tarts. Not one of the 3 looks has any validity for me.
The collection just seems to be a lot of repromotes and Pro stuff (apart from the quads and a few other bits), I think I’ll pass. Oh yeah, why do the women in the pictures look a little creepy, maybe it’s just me, I don’t know?!
it’s the same woman
She is a famous photographer and artist who is famous for taking on drastically different caricatures in her work.
You should check out the documentary that came out about Cindy in 2009 called “Guest of Cindy Sherman”. It’s a lot of fun and you learn a lot about her art!
i LOVE that movie. it’s really one of the best movies about an artist and their process. not to mention a very funny story about her nutty boyfriend.
Omg! I want like all of those lipsticks!
Wow, Angel Flame quad is like the FIRST quad I’ve ever wanted from MAC!
Those lipglasses all look right up my alley, and I love the sound of some of those pigments (especially Emerald Dusk). Three Ring Yellow looks so much like the shadow (or was it a pigment?) in the sadly-not-actually-real Temptalia collection. And I want it.
just what I was thinking
CINDY SHERMAN!!!!!!!!!! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I’m initially interested in:
Ash Violet Fluidline
Plum Bright Lipstick
Emerald Dusk Pigment
Starless Night Pigment
Parlor Smoke Eyeshadow Quad
Three Ring Yellow Eyeshadow
Shock-a-holic Eyeshadow
Royale Eyeshadow
Good Times Lipglass
I’ll have to wait for swatches and comparisons before deciding though!
Wow! Its like they’re trying to do the toxic collection from Illamasque, only they failed miserably and came off horrifically creepy. That’s just embarrassing.
I disagree. They are interesting and beautiful. Actually I hated the toxic nature photos. They were too literal and it showed the lack of creativity from illimasqua. These photos belong in a art gallary.
LOL I agree with this.
I love the colors that I’m seeing in this collection. Absolutely love them, especially the lipsticks.
The promotional images, however, are terrible! They look like they were done by a small child with a very large crayon.
Cindy Sherman is not a model or fashion makeup artist. She’s a performance artist and photographer. That’s her in all three photos as characters she has created. She is an artist who uses makeup to help personify her characters. Look her up on the internet for more info on her – she is *intensely* creative.
WOW. This is the most unappealing makeup ads I’ve seen in a long time. And people are “excited”? Excited for what? It’s a bunch of repromotes and permanents. MAC is getting desperate now; then again they have been for at least two years of coming out with multiple collections a month. How do people still buy this junk? ::confused::
Not everyone has access to a MAC PRO and while you could argue that you can purchase the products online if that was the case, a lot of people prefer to swatch and test the products out themselves before buying.
A yellow-green eyeshadow in a Veluxe Pearl finish – those guys at Mac just read my mind
Wow, me loves!!
Plum bright is mine, mine all mine (evil ha ha ha). Just joking. I want both quads, about three or four of the lipsticks and ash violet fluidliner. MAC is really going all out for the Fall/Winter collections. I’m not complaining, but my wallet is.
Ughh No…just no…
Yay for Lightscapade!!
I hope that I hate Angel Flame because I’d hate to buy the quad just for that one color.
honestly. those ads are terrifying and wake up a sleeping fear of clowns and dolls. The make up looks cool, but seriously, …terrifying.
Feline Kohl Power!
DDD
AGREE!!
I’ve been waiting for Feline to come back out
want to buy like 3 this time lol
I am not going to get excited until I see Christine’s review and swatches. All of the products look dupeable so I will wait. On the fence with this collection.
