hey ho! now maybe I can find an orange lip thingy that suits me! πŸ™‚ am in love with orange, just find them a bit tricky, they’re usually way too red-orange! very curious of the blushes, love orangey blushes! hoping for some swatches πŸ™‚

Roxana Avatar

I’m simultaneously really excited and really wary of this collection – I definitely want to see it swatched, but of course, what if everything sells out immediately? It’s always such a weird waiting game with MAC. I have very high hopes for those lipsticks and blushes, though.

Chelle Avatar

All about orange and the entire eyeshadow quad is grey…. Well that’s disappointing. I had been hoping for a variety of orange shadows. πŸ™

Bb Avatar

It’s to compliment all the orange. Grey actually goes quite nicely with orange πŸ™‚ but I do wish it was orange we don’t have to wear everything at once lol

Daniel Avatar

At first glance it is disappointing, however, MAC is keeping with their trends for the season. This trend is Sci-chedelic, keeping one aspect neutral and having a bold pop of color.

Andrea Avatar

IDK why they had to do this collection & the Hayley Williams one. Oh well I really don’t like orange, the only interesting things for me in this collection is the quad and maybe a couple of the cremesheen glasses.

YH Avatar

They’re totally different on! google the shades and you’ll see people swatching them or just wait for Christine to do her magic. They’re all so pretty and different πŸ™‚

Yellowlantern Avatar

I sort of want Flamingo, but it was a pretty coveted item when it first came out and I imagine it’ll sell out extremely fast this time too.

Brenda Avatar

Orange is one of my favourite cosmetic colours. I wonder if I’ll have the chance to partake in this collection (before the mania & ridiculousness sets in).

I have to wonder too, what is UP with the lipstick on this girl in the promo?? It looks cockeyed and messy….not in a good way.

ms Avatar

looking forward to the non orange and non lustre lipsticks. I’ll wait for your reviews. πŸ™‚
i can’t do orange lips, so let’s see the peach and coral lipsticks.

ms Avatar

on a side note, i miss the old swatch gallery. i selected lipstick and nude in color and i only see 3 lipstick images. I remember that was not the case in the previous swatch gallery.

thanks anyways for all your hardwork.

Christine Avatar

Hi Ms!

We actually are phasing out the term “nude,” as “nude” is really misleading – since it’s going to be based on *your* skintone, which means it’s really not fair that what is just beige is called nude when if you’re darker than fair, it’s not nude on you! Please try looking through the beige, peach, pink, and brown galleries.

The products aren’t missing – they were moved over to a more improved and nuanced color naming system.

Christine Avatar

No problem! πŸ™‚ It’s been a change I’ve wanted to implement for a long time with the “nude” lip category, but before with the original Swatch Gallery, it would have involved having to manually edit each and every instance, so I’m really happy to be able to have it going forward! I also think it’s more descriptive, too, for everyone.

Lizzi Avatar

Eh, I’ll pass. Im getting a bit worn out on corals and oranges. Only wish they took this as an opportunity to repromote ripe peach. Maybe buy a backup to flamingo. Maybe…

Lara Avatar

FLAMINGO!!! I missed it the first time and have been lamenting the lack of dupes, stalking new mac collections and hoping HARD for a repromote. I am stupidly excited right now.

Wednesday Avatar

Wow, they really seriously overshot the lip lines on the model who actually has very beautifully shaped lips already.. It’s kinda freakish and clownish, but assuming that may have been the intention.

I’m interested in the ‘neutral’ orange lipstick, Tart and Trendy and also the repromo, Flamingo. Orange is such a difficult colour for me, but I’ve always liked it on others especially with darker warmer complexions or very light cool complexions. Maybe there is a keeper in here for me.

Amy EM Avatar

The return of Flamingo! After unsuccessfully trying to find it and being treated shabbily by MAC, I swore off the brand. I may try to get it, but I’m not sure MAC is worth the trouble anymore.

HautePJ Avatar

I am digging the orange! But why no Kumquat lipglass, MAC? That is one of my faves!!! And what’s up with the random gray eyeshadow quad? I would have a thought a nice set of sunset colors would have been appropriate. As always, thanks for the info, Christine!!

Pamela Avatar

I was thinking about an orange shadow quad, too. But I guess the idea is to create complimentary colors and not matchy colors.

Evi Avatar

Hey Christine, I have a question: is Morange permanent or should I get it now that’s repromoted? I remember it once was permanent but I searched Mac’s website a couple of weeks ago and couldn’t find it!

Surabhi Avatar

Love the lipsticks…I was trying to be good after having got stuff from both Temperature Rising and Riri Woo but MAC seems hellbent on getting me to break my resolve!

Danii Avatar

Oh joy, orange. I dislike orange in my cosmetics, it looks pretty bad on me. MAC, what are you doing? 😐 Gray eyeshadows in an ORANGE collection. I don’t think gray when I think of orange (I think of black. Halloween ~ )

Kesha Avatar

I think it’s meant to offset the brightness of the lipsticks. If the greys are done right the look can be gorgeous. I saw a look that was grey and had a gorgeous orange in the crease….sure, this quad doesn’t have an orange in it but I think a good smokey grey eye would definitely compliment a brighter lip and cheek look. Just my opinion though.

Danii Avatar

Well, the model in the promo only really has noticeably orange lips with pinky-toned cheeks but not gray eyeshadow; it just looks like basic black eyeliner. An orange smokey eye might come off more Halloween-y than runway or fashionable. It would also have to be softer eye look so it wouldn’t be a fight between the eyes, lips and cheeks. Unless you’re going for the flapper look (bright lips, bold eyes, rouged cheeks).

Kesha Avatar

Well technically, you can’t really see the models eyes…not the lids. The grey and orange look I saw was not anything remotely Halloween so it really just depends on how well an artist is able to create a look. All the grey’s in this palette aren’t dark…and I honestly think it has a lot of potential. Yes, I would have expected SOME form of orange or coral in the quad, but at the same time not everyone can wear orange on their eyes. Maybe because they only went with one quad this time they decided not to go that route. I’m just excited to see what some other mua’s come up with because I’m already sketching out ideas lol. I think you can create a soft look even with this palette without it being too bold. Guess we’ll see soon enough.

Jackie Avatar

I love orange and can’t wait for this collection to come out! I have my eye on a couple of the lipsticks (or maybe 3) and a couple of the blushes…have to see swatches, though. After that, I will have enough orange to last me for A WHILE.

Daniella Avatar

I am thrilled about orange…at least only three of the lipsticks are actual orange so I don’t have to get all of them, and Neon Orange is PERMANENT!? Yay! A year ago I hated orange and now I am totally in love and it’s my second favorite lippie color after bright pinks. MAC is a little behind in the orange craze but I’m excited about this. I wonder how those blushes will look on my super fair skin.

Miriam Avatar

It’s maah!! I have to see it the lipsticks are kinda calli g me and the lipgloss πŸ™‚
We will be waiting for you Cristine

Kate A Avatar

Why would they not repromote Cut-A-Caper lipstick? It would have been perfect… and that’s my all time favourite and I don’t want to have to resort to ebay before it runs out πŸ˜›

Lee Ann Avatar

They should have re-promoted Modern Mandarin from the Tres Cheek collection last year! I’ve owned that blush for a year, and only now have been wearing it. It’s a GORGEOUS wearable orange.

Kristy Avatar

Ugh. Orange is my beauty kryptonite! If I put anthing orange anywhere near my face, I get asked if I’m feeling okay. I do like the grey eyeshadow quad though…

Jan Avatar

Wow – fast responses to this one. I do like oranges for spring and summer – probably more than they like me. A couple of the lip and nail products look like they may work well on my skin tone. Looks like I need to head out to MAC for testers. Thanks for the post Christine. Was just there Thurs and they weren’t aware of this. But apparently, there’s a summer Marilyn Monroe collection coming soon.

Gina Avatar

I love this! Orange, coral and peach are my favorite colors for lips and cheeks. The only issue I take with this collection is that the gray quad feels out of place.

effortgirl Avatar

AAO is already out in Singapore (but no eyeshadow quad). I tried Sushi Kiss on, but didn’t like it. I think I’ll head back to the stores and try Tart & Trendy and Neon Orange. Neon Orange seemed like a very wearable color when I was researching it for my blog entry on this collection.

Alisha Avatar

AHHH I’m sooo excited for this!

1. Orange went out ofr like a year and now it’s back i’m sooo soo sooo happy I’m gonna wear my MUFE orange tomorrow

2. the orange the model is wearing inte promo pic looks so much like the orange lips J.Lo dooned in her ‘Live It Up’ video

Danielle Avatar

SO excited to finally get Flamingo! I’m a sucker for coral, so I will be totally picking up some things from this collection πŸ™‚

Sae Avatar

I have been waiting for this collection to drop since promo preview photos had been leaked 2 months ago. Orange is my absolute favorite color to wear on the lips. I need to buy all of those lipsticks!

Cathy Avatar

Even as someone who likes orange/coral makeup, so many of these products seem like duplicates for older products. And what does the eyeshadow quad have to do with orange?

ms_f Avatar

It’s a shame they’re not re-promoting Modern Mandarin from the Tres Cheek collection. That was one of the first to sell out in the UK and it was lovely

Shelley Avatar

That nail lacquer in the main picture is gorgeous – please swatch it when it’s released!
Any idea of a release date in the UK?

Melissa Avatar

With bated breath, I await Tangerine Dream. πŸ™‚ It’s hard to find a yellow-based orange lipstick. Far too many red-based oranges out there. This may warrant purchasing a back-up on the spot.

Angela O Avatar

I am glad to see orange getting out .of the doghouse and finally be seen as the beautiful, energizing color it is! After so many years of bad or orange tans its about time to see the good that orange can do!! πŸ˜€

Angel Avatar

Royal Sunset is an AMAZING blush! I just got it today at the MAC counter inside Nordstrom, and I swatched it in store. I also found out that my friend surprised me and bought Flamingo. πŸ™‚

Ayesha Avatar

I love my peaches and corals to give me a healthy flush on a summers day!
I like to pair my blushes with my mega melon chubby stick for a polished daytime look.
