MAC + Mickey Contractor Swatches and Review Part I: Lipsticks and Lipglasses

Sunday, January 2, 2011

Here are some swatches and review of the lipsticks and lipglasses from the MAC + Mickey Contractor collection. As many of you know, this is a collaboration between MAC and Mickey Contractor, Director of Makeup Artistry - India. This is the perfect collection for women from Asia, Middle East, or any other ethnic background where there are a lot of olive and/or yellow undertones. Since I have predominantly olive and yellow tones, this collection is a godsend, not only for me, but for people of ethnic descent, or from Asia, Middle East, and Mediterranean regions. I noticed that MAC introduced half-shades in this collection (NC23, NC43) that are amazing for people who would have to mix two shades to come up with their perfect shade. I will be making separate posts for these concealers. For now, this post is about the lipsticks and lipglasses.
