There’s one makeup trend that seems to still be going strong in the world of short-lived fads like braided brows and inverse cat eye: novelty makeup. Lets be honest — who really needs another simple, neutral palette anymore? In such a competitive market, makeup needs to be unique, and dare I say, gimmicky in order to sell.
Fashion designer Jeremy Scott has teamed up with MAC Cosmetics to make a piece of makeup that is so pretty you don’t want to actually use it. The two have collaborated on a retro-music inspired collection, complete with a cassette player, boombox and CD. This isn’t the first time that Scott has created a unique makeup collection. In the past year, he collaborated with Sephora Collection to create Moschino products that included a palette shaped like the brand’s signature teddy bear. This latest collection with MAC is sure to have fans of both his designs and the makeup screaming with excitement.
Here’s everything that included in the MAC collaboration:
1. Eyeshadow x 29: Lo-Fi palette ($75 at MAC)
This beautiful palette contains 29 shadow shades, taking you from a neutral, everyday look to something more on the wild side. My old complaint? All the empty space in the palette — who’s wishing that this was filled with more MAC shadows?
2. Lip x 9: Future Emotions ($35 at MAC)
This is described as a “modern matte formula” that promises to be long lasting. While I’ve always stayed away from lip palettes since I’ve been afraid of how to travel with them, I honestly wouldn’t be opposed to carrying around this adorable packaging.
3. Cheek x 3: Acoustica ($35 at MAC)
This is the perfect piece for someone who still wants a part of the collection, but may shy away from some of the brighter colors. This pretty blush, bronzer and highlighter trio is perfect for an everyday, soft look.
