Purity - MAC - Pret á Papier collection

I maj landar en kollektion inspirerad av mode skapat av papper i MAC-diskarna världen över. Pret á papier heter kollektionen, och innehåller mestadels basprodukter i naturnära färger, med några väl utvalda färgklickar här och var.

MAC Pret á Papier
Release date: April 22nd 2010 (US/Canada), May 2010 (International)

Craft Paper Couture – an inspired idea cut like a pattern and whipped up into a frisky little “funny face” frock. Then, strip it back to its essence for Summer 2010 for a Pret-a-Papier colour collection. It was a Project Runway challenge of sorts, with paper as the source, the instigator of ideas, the beginning of something simply, basically beautiful. Lipstick, LipGlass, Eye Shadow, Paint Pot, Chromografic Pencil, Studio Fix Lash, Impeccable Brow Pencil, Sheertone and Mineralize Blushes, and Nail Lacquer in a seamless spectrum of parchment-to-vellum beiges, with an occasional, clever colour spill, coral among the most au courant.”

Vad gillar ni den här kollektionen? Färgschemat är trevligt tycker jag, om än lite tråkigt. Ögonskuggorna memorabilia och gazette grey lockar mig mest, och chromagraphic pencil i NC15/NW20. Jag har lite svårt för kritvita pennor på vattenlinjen för att ge ett intryck av ett större och öppnare öga, det blir liksom för starkt mot mina ögon, så den här kommer nog se betydligt mjukare ut!

In English: In may, a collection inspired by craft paper cotoure reaches the MAC counters all over the world. It's called Pret á papier and contains mostly basic products in neutral, toned down colours with a few well chosen spots of colour.

What do you think about this collection? I like the color scheme, allthough it is a bit "meh". The eyeshadows memorabilia and gazette grey catched my eye, and chromagraphic pencil in NC15/NW20. I'm not too fond of wearing stark white pencils on my waterline to create the impression of a more awake eye, it's too hars against my eyes, so this will probably create a softer result!
