using the new MAC Pedro Lourenco nude Quad on my eyes, Amplified Lipstick in true Red on my lips, Powder blush Duo in Corol on my cheeks as well as cream Colour Base in Hush on my upper cheekbones
What struck me very first was the packaging. The black against the gold. It pulled me in like a tractor beam. traditional as well as edgy at the exact same time, a la Blade Runner, which is a style I aspire to achieve, on occasion.

The black situations are different than typical for MAC as well as have this rubbery texture, so they’re type of NARS-y, as well as that coupled with the makeup — the nude eyes, cheeks as well as bright red lips — add as much as a recipe for immediate makeup lust.

There are certainly things right here I’ll wear, as well as actually, a great deal of them are pieces I already wear. The new quad has two of my long-time preferred MAC eyeshadows, Sable as well as All That Glitters, as well as the cream Colour Base is a re-promoted shade called Hush, which I absolutely love.

A couple of the lipsticks likewise look like traditional MAC shades I wear all the time, like true Red, which looks a bit like woman risk however has an Amplified surface instead of a Matte, so it has that shine. as well as Ruby is type of like Russian Red, however with the Amplified surface instead of the Matte.

So, I don’t truly believe the release shatters new ground. The edgiest pieces right here are most likely the Lipglasses, which are these kind of strange metallic colors like Gold Mirror, a neutral gold, as well as Mirror, a neutral silver, both of which, I think, seem extremely indicative of Pedro’s in some cases sci-fi style, from what I’ve seen of his work.

I was so stoked about the Corol blush Duo before seeing it in person. It’s the huge compact with the black matte packaging as well as Pedro’s name across the front. however then I tried it on, as well as it truly wasn’t working for me. The powder’s incredibly difficult as well as challenging to pick up with a clean or finger. When I did these swatches, I really had to chip away at the powder with a fingernail to totally free up some product.

But other than the Duo, I like the collection. I believe there’s something cooly futuristic as well as traditional about it at the exact same time, like something you’d see in a sci-fi film starring Milla Jovovich as the primary character, as well as her eyes would be shining with the sparkling nude as well as bronze as well as rosy tones.

I can see it now… She’s walking down a dusty, decaying metropolitan alley between tall, grimy buildings holding an large plasma gun. Her cheeks are highlighted as well as glowing, as well as her lips are bright red.

Beautiful as well as accessible, with an edge — that’s exactly how I see this collection. If you have a good friend you’ve wished to convert into a MAC fan, this is the collection where you hold her hand as well as guide her into the light.
