![]() ![]() It may even make an appearance in my Fall Beauty Edit.The MAC x Aaliyah Collection launches in stores today with limited-edition pieces for eyes, lips and cheeks. The rich rusty browns and jewel tones are perfect for this upcoming season. And I know I’m going to get a lot more use out of it in the fall. Overall, I’m happy with this purchase, and I recommend it! Is it the perfect palette? No, but I still adore it. It would’ve been a nice additional pop of color. If I could change one thing, I’d remove the shade Deception, and add a smokey green or teal similar to what Aaliyah wore in the Are You That Somebody video. The three colors in the top row work nicely together as do the ones in the middle row. Also, I find that I can create different looks with each row. Then add the darker colors for some smokey drama. You can easily create daytime or office appropriate looks. The rest of the shadows were quite soft, applied smoothly and performed well.Įyes: That Somebody (crease), Care 4 You (lid) Magic Moor (upper lash line), Lovesmoke (inner corner), Lips: Mac Lipglass in Love Child Another shade I didn’t care for was Dance In The Dark, it’s a bit muddy and didn’t perform the best for me. It applies patchy and has very little color payoff. It’s the most disappointing shade for me. There are a few duds I had hard time with Deception. You can also find it on MAC’s Warm Neutral Palette. I was happy to see Gingersnap, it’s my favorite shade. Some of these colors are also reminiscent of the 90’s. ![]() She wore a lot of purple and silver in her videos like Try Again, and We Need a Resolution. The shades are in keeping with Aaliyah’s looks at the time. My one criticism is that it doesn’t have a mirror. ![]() It’s very Aaliyah and resembles her style and aesthetic. And One in a Million is a legendary song it’s my favorite.įirst, I love the burgundy metallic packaging with silver lettering. Her rendition of ( At Your Best) You Are Love surpassed the original. At such a young age, Aaliyah was so far ahead of her time. Her songs were on permanent repeat throughout my high school years, and when she died, I was heartbroken. Aaliyah is a major part of the soundtrack of my life, I have every album. I had to get something from this collection. Swatches from left to right: Lovesmoke, Magic Moor, Care 4 You, Creative Copper, That Somebody, Princess of Soul, Deception, Gingersnap, Dance In The Dark Why I bought it ![]()
