MAC Make-Up Art Cosmetics Fall '09 As Seen By Marilyn Minter (Photographer)

MAC Cosmetics Make-Up Art Cosmetics Fall ’09 As Seen By Marilyn Minter (Photographer)

Marilyn Minter, equally at home in art and fashion, has a penchant for iridescence that made her a perfect candidate for M·A·C’s glitter pigments, putting them to utterly seductive use. Minter’s erotic imagery zooms in on a succulently wet, red lip, a dappled, sequined eye, or a silverized stiletto splashing in the mud. The Whitney Biennial Artist says she’s “Never met a model who actually thinks she’s beautiful,” and that observation goes a long way to explain how she connects to what M·A·C wants to say about all-inclusiveness – we’re ALL beautiful sometimes. Pigments in Push the Edge and Copper or Gold Glitter have the power to make anyone feel like they WILL be seen – and desired.

Technically no…but who ever listens to that?? I use them all the time for my eyes. Apparently they might cut your eye if they drop from your lid. People say its better to use them in lotions or nail polishes but that’s no fun!!

They’re pretty eye safe solong as you apply them to primed lids while that base is still wet so they don’t fall onto your eyeballs. If you want glittery mascara, apply it VERY carefully to the tops while looking down and to the underside (visible side) of lashes looking up while facing the floor while your mascara’s not wet, but still slick. That’s gravity at its best! 😉

I already own Reflects Gold, Cocomotion pigments, & Heritage Rouge pigments. I don’t care for the copper/rusty colors of pigments/glitters.
I really want:
– Reflects Fuschia
– Braash & Bold pigment
– Push the Edge pigment
– Clear Gloss Texture

it’s also very good for when a dewy finish is desired…you can put a bit high on the cheekbones or if you want the glossy lid look…the gloss medium is not super glossy like a lipgloss.

Yep! That’s what it’s for.
I believe that it’s also multi-purpose and can also be used as a clear lip gel to which one adds the glitters on the lips, as well as anywhere on the body where one wants to add the loose glitters/pigments.

It’s a shame that the glitters aren’t eye safe. I visited the counter today and they are all so tempting, but I just wouldn’t risk it. I’m not much of a glitter girl anywhere else on my face/body either, so they’d be kind of a waste to pick up.

I managed to snag a sample of Heritage Rouge and Push the Edge today, and I bought Cocomotion because it was just too beautiful to resist. I know I’ll put it to very good use!
