Going Out Wearing “Nothing” But Lingerie - from MAC!
By Stevie Wilson
Sometimes after all the fuss and over-the-top glam of the holidays, you want something softer in tone and feel. Colors that are gentler; textures of satin and velvet but still sassy and flirty—when you choose to be. It’s a softly seductive collection that’s going to be one of the essentials in your kit.

MAC’s latest collection currently on counters is the perfect collection for the softer side of you- that’s also the more provocative side of you too. Lingerie is an “almost naked” collection of limited edition colors that give you that neutral feel yet still have enough luxe color in pinks, lilacs, lacy white and neutrals to take you from day to night, from the boardroom to the bedroom.
Built around the colors of the finest intimate apparel, the Lingerie collection is meant to be seen – so if you’ve got it (and you will want to have this collection), flaunt it!

For skin that glows with the luster of the velvet ribbon on a fine corset, Mineralize SkinFinish is an ideal velvety powder with a frosty metallic finish. It provides a sheen and shine to highlight cheeks, brows, shoulders, décolletage, and anywhere else that suits. Skin seems to have its own light and shimmer! Petticoat is a pale rose with gold and amber threads. Naked You is a soft pale beige with grey and brown threads ($22.50)

MAC Pigments rock because they provide that ultra metallic luxe look of molten metal and can be mixed with foundation to create a shimmer on the face or patted over cream shadow to create the most luxurious metallic eye looks. These loose powders do double and triple duty as shadow, highlighter, shimmer on lips and more – so get creative with these sensuous colors. Goldenaire is a rosy powder with a gold pearl frost. Lovely Lily is a dirty lilac with red pearl frosty glow. Pink Opal is an ideal shadow of white with a pearly pink highlight. ($18.50)

The shadow collection is heavily populated with limited edition colors that offer velvet, luster and frost finishes for the ultimate versatility and underscores the “lingerie” theme. Slip Pink is a dirty, dusty pearlized pink. Black Tied is a deep jet with white frost.

Luscious lips come in last but because the colors on the eyes play such an essential role in what colors to choose.

Finish off that “gorge” mouth with Tinted Lipglass. These limited edition colors make for perfect gifts and also should be in your kit too. Bare Fetish makes a neutral beige come alive with a creamy pearlized finish. Fine China is a light neutral pink with a pearl frost much like icing on a cake just waiting to be nibbled.
