M.A.C.'s Spring Colour Forecast Collection

AHHHHHHHH, YES.....something to look forward to - Spring!! How about these colour collections by M.A.C. Cosmetics??? I hear they are on counters in just about five days (February 11th, 2010) and may have came out sooner!!!;-)

For my make-up lovers and make-up artist this is for you: I strongly suggest (of course, if you haven't already heard about it) to check-out the ever so popular Beauty Blog, Temptalia. There you will be able to find out about make-up/beauty product launches way before they come out, discover make-up application tutorials, and check out product reviews. I am amazed at how this blog has grown and became so popular. It started off simply as an archive of the creator's/editor's daily make-up looks and M.A.C. Cosmetic Collection reviews back in 2006. Now, it has blossomed into a reliable resource for anything on make-up & beauty!! Lady Yvette approves and gives Christine Mielke two thumbs up.

Now, the current campaign is quite simple than what I am used to seeing from M.A.C. but, I will say that I am digging the colours options. With neutral and soft bright color tones as the colour palette seen on the runways of the Spring 2010 Fashion Week this will definitely compliment the trends and looks for spring!! Below is a sneak peak of the M.A.C. Riveting Collection set to launch on February 18th, 2010...

Glossy images of leggy, Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall -of-Fame uber-models are as riveting, ravishing – and relevant – as ever. Hot shots of super-babes and rock chicks, edgy but never grungy, the lion’s mane of hair, the spectacular cheek bones, the luscious lashes, and a certain fearlessness when it comes to conquering with colour – Riveting is a rock-steady metal collection that pays homage to the Jerry Halls and Pat Clevelands of the world, their strength and their power! Part of a sexy ’80s fashion moment, these girls are modern versions of the real thing: Rock Goddesses never afraid to strut their stuff and step up to the spotlight. A fashion trend, true, but oh-so-much more is what makes these girls Riveting.

Testing 1, 2, 3: Alexis Bittar Beauty Shoot

Photo Capture by Ejaz Khan
Styling by Sophia Batson Jewelry by Alexis Bittar
Beauty Artistry by CassandraRenee
Hair by Ewa Berton
Retouching by Sharon Daniels
Muses: Nnenna Agba & Simone Awor

This was a beauty test that my fabulous sister of a Make-Up Artist worked on with a team that was able to pull from Alexis Bittar's 2009 Fall Collection. A Beauty Series featuring ANTM model Nnenna Agba from cycle 6 and former IMG model, Simone Awor.

Although, I would say there really was no clear direction to this shoot, I will say the make-up is fierce, flawless, and fab and the models are gorgeous!! I think if Ejaz would have stuck with where he was going with how he shot the two masks by Alexis Bittar (I am assuming those pieces are for editorial purposes only) this could have been a tight beauty story. I noticed by looking at his website that he is more strong with his fashion editorial shoots and lacks in his beauty (that's just my opinion ) - I absolutely love his work, though!!!

I strongly suggest to check out the teams portfolios and check out Alexis Bittar jewelry...I personal like the Lucite Collection for everyday but the Miss Havisham Collection is edgy & bold for those with more of a twisted style! ;-)

in LOVE,

Lady Yvette
