MAC Riveting Collection

MAC Riveting Collection

U.S. Launch Date: February 18th, 2010

International Launch Date: March 2010

Glossy images of leggy, Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall -of-Fame uber-models are as riveting, ravishing – and relevant – as ever. Hot shots of super-babes and rock chicks, edgy but never grungy, the lion’s mane of hair, the spectacular cheek bones, the luscious lashes, and a certain fearlessness when it comes to conquering with colour – Riveting is a rock-steady metal collection that pays homage to the Jerry Halls and Pat Clevelands of the world, their strength and their power! Part of a sexy ’80s fashion moment, these girls are modern versions of the real thing: Rock Goddesses never afraid to strut their stuff and step up to the spotlight. A fashion trend, true, but oh-so-much more is what makes these girls Riveting.

Hi, Just looking to order Metal Maven lipstick. Having a hard time finding it. I see it on your site, but no way to order. Can you help? Thanks, Nancy Winter

We don't sell anything!

Use the Riveting lipstick with Up The Amp lipstick, either slightly or a lot of Up The Amp, and then you will see Signs and Wonders!

I'm a NW20-25 (a bit on the whiter extreme) and I just used Dirty Plum to contour my cheeks and Full Fuchsia as blush and I LOVE it!!!! I'm a guy but I couldn't resist checking out how it would look!!! :D ...I think I look good anyways...

I'm thinking about getting the penultimate eyeliener, Bubbles lipstick and Dirty Plum blush. I may change my mind when I see them in person though.

oohh goshh.. i want riveting and show orchid... but i wonder if that bright color(show orchid) would look good on my NC40 skintone :S

I am coveting Show Orchid like nothing before! Strangely though, when I asked at my usual go-to mac counter if it was indeed being re-released with an upcoming collection, neither MA on duty (one of whom is the manager) knew anything about it. Is this one of those collections like the Ungaro collection that wasn't released to counters, only to stores? Or do you think they were just playing coy with me?

As far as I know, this is going to all counters/stores, but on the 18th. They might have forgotten!

Or maybe they just lost track because of the sheer volume of collections that have been coming out lately, ha ha! Not that I'm complaining, I love the eye candy/inspiration that a new collection provides, even if I don't actually buy anything from it. Anyway, I think I'll take a special trip to the counter on the 18th to see if they have it. Exciting!

i'm excited to try out the two l/g's. was thinking of adding a pink similar to the true babe and wondering what impact rock out will have on my current collection.

Christine, Is the Dirty Plum blush in this collection the same one that is going to be released in the "Give Me Liberty of London" Collection? Are they different colors? because the description here is it's a deep plum from the PRO-line and the description there is that it's a sheer dark plum. If their the same I just may wanna wait for the pretty packaging. Do you know? Does anybody know? it would be a big help

I'm not sure. The information I have marks Dirty Plum from Riveting as PRO with a limited life at regular stores as part of the launch. For Give me Liberty, my information says that it's new and limited life (but doesn't indicate it's a PRO color).

hi Christine how close is Show Orchid to Girl about town lipstick?

It's similar, but Show Orchid has a little more purple and it has the purple sheen.

the only thing i'll be getting from this collection is dirty plum and the 188 brush because i dont already have one...

eh, I think I'll be skipping this collection.

Although I haven't been feelin lip glosses for quite a while, I think I want to look at True Babe.

metal maven and riveting lipstick looks interesting I'll have to see it in person when it comes out

interesting colors... as usual, have to go check it by myself ;)

Finally Mac comes out with a collection that I'm not overly excited about!!!!

I want that darker blush, and maybe a couple of the lipsticks. I dunno. We'll see.

Yeah the very dark blush looks good and I still wanna look at Riveting and Show Orchid lipsticks.

the matt nail polishes look hot, can't wait to own them!

Does anyone no if Full Fuchsia is really close to the color of Tippy blush from the Hello Kitty Collection? I have Tippy already and am not sure if I should buy Full Fuchsia or not. If they are pretty different I'll want to get Full Fuchsia for sure.

Think Tippy on acid and you have Full Fuchsia. Tippy is bright, FF is ultra pigmented and ever brighter, plus I think it's got a bit more magenta/pink in it. It's a pro color, so you can always get it another time if you want :)

Thank you for answering my question!

I think mac is releasing waaaaay too many collections! I mean, the colour forecast's (4 of them!), mac in lillyland, all ages, all races, all sexes, and the warm and cozy! All in the matter of a month! I personally think it is a marketing ploy!

Yeah LE LE LE, and we cant resist *sigh & fall right into their 'trap' XD*

riveting lipstick seems like the perfect neutral lipstick. I like the blushes too.

i like the idea of the collection it's just dat i wouldn't buy anything from it :/

Thank you Lord!!!!! I don't like anything from this collection!!!! =D

there seems to be a purple blush trend brewing. Mac is obviously one of the big sources with the purple blush in this collection and the two purply shades in the spring colour forecast collection. can't imagine this will ever turn into a full-blown trend because of how hard it is to wear (and how terrified of color many makeup users can be)

um, creepiest model pic ever. where are her internal organs?!

Metal Maven and Bubbles for me!

I will totally pick up Show Orchid and Rock Out lipglass!

Wow! Nice love that MAC try matte laqure.

So not me. I couldn't wear any of these. Lucky me, because Spring Colour Forecast is going to cost me bad.

Thank goodness I'm not that interested in this collection. The products are all nice but nothing is something I need.

the silver lipstick look interesting.. i wonder how opaque it is.

Not too interested, but dont wanna skip this one completely (metalhead here haha). Guess I'll grab Metal Maven, Rock Out & Studded.

nothing special. So many collections and nothing are available in the stores. f**king russia, they sent us only some products from each collection!

loving the lip glossses

omg i love the nail polishes!

This'll be fun. :D I love the promo image!

Full Fuchsia blush is beautiful. I can see me picking that one up, as well as, Riveting ls if it has good color payoff. The silver is nice but I'm unsure if it would work on my pigmented lips.

This is random, but Mac@ Nordstrom is having a deal tomorrow. Buy two eyeshadows and get one free. =D

Looks like it'll be a pass for me. I'll still prob look at your swatches and stop by a counter just to see.. but most likely won't buy. This means I can save up for Too Fabulous and Give Me Liberty of London in March :)

I want Bubbles, Metal Maven and Rock Out. I may try one of the blushes but did I mention I want Bubbles:D

how does full fuchsia compare to tippy from the hello kitty collection?
