Now and then, a makeup collection comes along that you want to be seen holding as well as seen wearing. MAC Give Me Liberty Collection, launched in mid-March 2010, is the perfect example. A collaboration with Liberty of London, the limited-edition packaging is white… an almost astonishing departure from MAC’s signature black. The colors are fresh and vivid… such a great way to welcome in Spring!
Pictured above is my #1 must-have item from the Give Me Liberty collection. MAC Beauty Powder in Shell Pearl is described as a pale peach with gold pearl on the MAC website. This fresh-as-fruit shade of apricot is flattering to almost any complexion, and the color works for both Spring and Summer.
Retail price is $25.
An excellent choice for women with darker skin–or consumers in search of a dramatic evening look–Dirty Plum Powder Blush from the Give Me Liberty of London collection is a sheer dark plum.
Retail price $18.50.
My #2 must-have item from the Give Me Liberty of London collection… the ballet-slipper pink shade Give Me Liberty of London Eye Shadow (pictured at right). This understated matte pink simply makes eyes pop. There’s something about the color that made me appear more awake and energetic when applied! Also pictured above, Bough Grey: a grey shade with blue undertones (that also makes an excellent accent shade).
Retail price $12 per shadow.
So… what do these beauties look like when applied? Swatches from left to right: Shell Pearl Beauty Powder, Dirty Plum Powder Blush, Bough Grey Eye Shadow and Give Me Liberty of London Eye Shadow. You’ll be reading more about MAC Give Me Liberty of London collection in the coming days, so stay tuned!
