Get yours now: M.A.C Fashion Sets mini-collection

I never need an excuse to pop into M.A.C’s Britomart PRO store, or any excuse to spend up large there on bits and bobs that I want/need/just must have! My reason for being there last Friday however was on “official” business, as in chatting with M.A.C’s Asia-Pacific DOMA, Hong Kong-based James Molloy.

I’d spent the week before in Sydney at MBFWA with the charming Brit, watching him in action backstage and at a Master Class in East Sydney, taking notes all the way. Come Friday we were talking about M.A.C’s rather fabulous new initiative, the 3-piece mini-collections of Lipstick, Lipglass, and Nail Lacquer known as Fashion Sets.

It’s no secret that one of the largest emerging beauty trends right now is the matching lip and polish, so naturally M.A.C have stayed one step of the pack by making this that much easier for all of us by packaging up some of each region’s most popular picks.

Think top shades like Rebel in New York, Russian Red in Dubai, Snob in Sao Paulo, Saint Germain in Tokyo and Morange in Paris for starters, and then add six more that are so-hot-right-now in those countries. Perfectly coordinated and regionally inspired, Fashion Sets are the quickest way to “colour block” your beauty look in three quick steps.

The Asia-Pacific collection on counter in New Zealand right now is made up of:

Saint Germain: Light cool pink (amplified)

Peachstock: Light peachy nude (satin)

Angel: Light warm pink (frost)

Ravishing: Mid-tone neutral peach (cremesheen)

Razzledazzler: Light cream peach (lustre)

Morange: Bright cream orange (amplified)

Impassioned: Bright warm pink (amplified)
