M.A.C attack

Forgive me dear readers for I have sinned, it has been six days since my last beauty obsession, ah confession. It's been a busy week as I catch up on work after being sick!

I did have time to scope out what's coming up on style.com and spied this gorgeous runway look from Tuleh featured as a backstage confidential! Even better - we get all the details and I mean ALL the details. Makeup artist Polly Osmond created these divine metallic lids using a combination of two matte M.A.C eyeshadows and three sparkling pigment shades. The key to her success - blend, blend, blend with a round fluffy brush! (They always say it like it's so easy but fear not if you don't have luck the first time trying - it does take a while to master).

I cruised into the M.A.C store in Chancery Lane, Auckland, to see what new products they've got and I fell in love with the colours in the StarFlash collection. What makes this range so divine is the creamy formulation of the shadows - it's a cinch to apply and doesn't leave pesky fallout on the checks. It will literally stick to your skin and stay there - mine stayed put from 7am-evening. No creasing, no fading. In the pot the colours could be a little overwhelming - purple, aqua, lilac, pink, beautiful bronzes and gold but you choose how bright you want to wear them by how much you apply. Build for an intense pop of colour or use sparingly for a gorgeous sheen. The worst thing about this range? It's limited edition - so get in quick. I reckon these beauties will be a must-have over our humid summer!
