NEW MAC SS09

The new accessory: makeup. And even though the manifestations and impact may vary all play their part. Consider colour as noise. Crank it up.Ormake it barely audible. But this season, let's hear you. Black to Earth, Artifice, Revolutionary Nature, Tendertone, Hydraluminous.SS09 Black to Earth Forget perfection. Eyes go messy, totally mussed, in shimmering boot polish black and blatantly applied mineral blues. This look is about melted liners, smudged shadows, creamy textures, and eyes punked in gloss. Bad is good.SS09 Artifice Don't look now. Unconventional is in. And "bizarre" - even at its most extreme - can be beautiful to create the more striking looks of the season. Key: Faultlessly fake lashes, and big, over-sculpted, red lips. Artifice isn't real. It's fun. Flaunt it!. SS09 Revolutionary Nature Meet the modern sauvage. She's sensual, sculpted, naturally good-looking. Her strengths: her features. Real or created - they're pulled out in earthy washes of bronze, buff, brown for a look of supernatural handsome.SS09 Tendertone The medium: tender tones, leached out shades, ice cream scoops of colour. All applied playfully - as if this were your first makeup ever. What's key, the colour contrasts and how fresh they appear - as a sheer wash, a fabulous cloud of fairy dust..SS09 Hydraluminous This season's take on played-down makeup is less about colour than light texture and looking fresh. Think pearl highlights, abundant gloss...but more importantly, consider where's its applied, unexpectedly on cheeks, brows, lids..
