One of our favorite parties during Coachella for both myself and Patricia Field was the poolside bash hosted by MAC Cosmetics for the launch of their festival inspired collection with DJ superstar, Mia Moretti. Filled with a beautiful range of peach-tones, pinks to reds, the seven piece collection (plus makeup bag and tote!), consists of two lipsticks, a six shade lipstick palette, and four color creme’s which can be used on cheeks, lids and lips. While catching up with the Moretti, she chatted about how much she wanted to create a very wearable collection using colors she would actually wear and could also envision women wanting to carry around in their makeup case.
I played with the collection at the event and I have to say I want it all! I’m especially impressed with the lipstick palette since on first glance I thought it was an eyeshadow compact! It has a nude, pink and orange tone and then dives into this really pretty lilac, turquoise blue and green that are so unexpected. She explained how the mix was intentional since most people don’t opt for the more funky color but by mixing them in the palette hopefully it will inspire them to play with the shades and get creative with ombre-ing their lips or mixing the tones. And what better time to get inventive then during Coachella? I for one am very intrigued and this palette is #1 on my list.
The collection debuted (and quickly sold out) online earlier this month so you’re going to have to take your chances in one of their stores — definitely call and make sure they have stock — or check back online and hope they are restocking! (I know I am…). Learn more at maccosmetics.com
