Bright, vibrant colors have slowly infiltrated the black and white dominated world of eyeshadow. MAC has recently launched a new collection that’s a great entry into the world of color.
MAC has launched the Electro Flash collection, complete with four new Lipstick shades, four new Lipglass shades, nine Mineralize Eye Shadow duos and a Large Fluff brush.
I’ve been dabbling with samples of Mineralize Eye Shadow Duos in Odd Couple (pictured left: a bright purple shade coupled with a marbled golden lavender) and Sea & Sky (an electric blue coupled with a marbled robin’s egg blue). One side of each compact is a deep, dark, extremely rich shadow ideal for lining the eyes or to use as a base shade for a jewel-toned smokey eye. The other side is a marbled-effect coordinating color that can be blended for a multi-dimensional effect.
This mineral formula can be used either wet or dry, and the high-pigment shades–when blended with a fingertip–become subtle. Who knew such versatility could be found in one little compact? There is no doubt in this beauty blogger’s mind… Electro Flash is a collection that makeup enthusiasts will choose to buy in its entirety.
