Come on MAC!! You finally create new highlighter shades and both are gold tones?! It wouldn’t have hurt to make one of them in a pale, cool toned shade for those of us with very fair skintones that can’t wear warm highlighters!
The white gold will work for cool skin. I have one and it works on me. I’m a NW15 for reference.
The ‘white gold’ doesn’t look too gold? I totally agree with you! I can only do the warm tones in the thick of summer.
I like the packaging! But not so much the products.
Finally, MAC has shades within that are as interesting and colorful as the packaging! Now, as for quality, that remains to be seen. Anyway, I’m passing it up because I am covered in these types of shades already plus have more on the way.
I really like the packaging and imagery they’ve used here but the actual shades themselves, not so much.
The Skinfinish highlighters seem to be very bog standard and boring colours, a vivid metallic golden coral and iridescent purple would have been my picks…
I got the palette and the skin finishes today and I’m so happy they are good ❤️❤️❤️. I missed awesome Mac collections!
Looking forward to a review of these shadowas–especially Picnic Panic!
I am more of a neutral / pink / good tone person but these colors look lovely! I may consider trying them! I have a lot of Mac eye shadows and they are dryer and do not last as long as my PMG/ ND – I wonder if the formula on these has improved – the eye shadow looks most interesting I have all of the Mac highlighters
The eyeshadow palette looks nice, but it won’t be a patch on yours!
I would like this collection if it was a Spring collection. How could it be a summer collection without even a bronzer? I am very disappointed by lipsticks’ shades too, very spring related, not summery sun kissed bronzy colors. No lipglasses, or brushes, or a strobe cream. I was in love with the 2020 summer collection, one of my fave ever and I was waiting for the 2021 summer collection with high expectations. Probably this is why I am so disappointed.
Gorgeous colours and packaging. The highlighters are def interesting.
This is the prettiest color story and packaging MAC has done in a long time. I’m suspicious of their ability to pull off good bright pastel eyeshadows, though.
Hi from France ! This new collection is released today in my country on the Mac French website. As a Mac fan, I am very surprised and disappointed at the same time, as Mac decided to launch a Spring palette instead of a Summer palette for… Summer ! The shades would have been perfect if launched in March, not in July. I do not think I will purchase. Same thought about the lipsticks shades. I was in love with previous collections for Summer but not this one.
Ahhhh I love the Forget-Me-Naughty shade. I have so many similar shades in different brands, and I have a couple from Mac that are similar. I just can’t get enough of this shade haha. But this collection is kind of weird. All reddish lipsticks except one lavender. And the reds are all pretty similar. If you’re going to have a purple, the rest should go nicely with purple. Or have them all purple!
And I agree with the highlighters. Why so many gold highlighters? Purple would have been better haha. I’m the type who wears blue highlighters or yellows with blue shifts, even pink highlighters too!
The eyeshadows are super pretty, but the color scheme seems off to me, too. I see that the shades are the same as the packaging, but I don’t care for it. Each eyeshadow is pretty on its own. For me, this would be a supplemental palette which kind of sucks because Mac’s palettes can be pricey.
