Blast From the Past: McQueen Lookalike

Site News
Christine |

Who remembers the Alexander McQueen collection by MAC?  It was a small launch, but it had pops of bright color.  These days, I regret not picking up the paint pots, but such is life.  At the time, I passed on pretty much the entire collection, but this is a look I did to convince myself I didn’t need to buy anything.  This look is from October 2007, for your reference.  It’s hard not to love the combination of greens and blues and see why I used to do so many!

About the Look

I used Blue pigment on lid, Overgrown eyeshadow on inner lid, Shimmermoss eyeshadow on middle of lid, A Bluer Blue eyeshadow on outer lid and crease, Juxt eyeshadow above crease, Gorgeous Gold eyeshadow on brow, Blue Herizon liquidlast liner on lower lash line, Freshwater eyeshadow on outer lower lash line, Gorgeous Gold eyeshadow on inner lower lash line, and Feline kohl power on lower waterline. I wore Cantaloupe blush with Peach Haze beauty powder on cheeks with Emote blush to contour. I had Style It Up lipstick with Guava pro gloss and Reflects Bronze glitter on my lips.

This is a gorgeous look, you can pull of any colors and look FAB! But, is style it up a permanent mac lipstick or was it discontinued from the mcqueen collection?

really nice look…i also wish i had bought more of the collection…actually, it wasn’t available at my local mac counter and online i think a lot of stuff sold out quickly…i think one of the shades is being repromoted this fall though..but maybe just a shadow and not a paint pot!

Christine,
This is one of the best color looks on you, in my opinion. It is very flattering with your eyes and coloring. And I love your hair long and down in front, too! Makes you look gorgeous! (personally, the colors are too bright for daytime, but it’s still gorgeous.)
