Review: MAC Cosmetics-Meet Limited Edition Photographs by Helmut Newton

October 31, 2016 By: Alison Blackman

M-A-C-Cosmetics Limited Edition Photographs by Helmut Newton  #MACLimitedEdition

By Advicesisters Staff

M-A-C Cosmetics says: “M∙A∙C Limited Edition celebrates the erotically charged and elegant work of legendary photographer, Helmut Newton. A regular contributor to Vogue and Vanity Fair, Newton is known for his precise, glamorous and empowering photography of women. This limited-edition color collection captures the photographer’s provocative, exquisite taste, dressing wine-stained lips in sultry rogue while darkening eyes in the black and white shades of his signature aesthetic. Nails are lacquered in colors inspired by Monte Carlo and Berlin, two of his homes. A selection of Newton’s most iconic photographs adorns the bespoke packaging – his work remains as distinctive and influential as ever.”

Advicesisters.com says:  This new, nicely curated, highly-collectible collection of wear-now ’til forever cosmetics is inspired by the infamous fashion photographer Helmut Newton whose edgy, provocative photographs made stars of models, and graced fashion magazines of the highest order.  

The colors are intensely pigmented and border on vampy, but end up being wear-ably edgy for non models and normal “fashionistas,”  thanks the the genius of M-A-C- Cosmetics’ creative geniuses.

The Limited Edition Photographs by Helmut Newton Collection is online at MAC Cosmetics October 27th and on M-A-C- Counters and stores in North America on November 3rd at select locations.

These will fly off the shelves. Stake your claim early!

 

POINT ‘N’ SHOOT EYESHADOW QUAD | $32.00 U.S. / $42.00 CAD | LIMITED EDITION

Point n Shoot Eye Shadow x4 MAC Limited Edition Photographs by Helmut Newton Collection

Advicesisters.com:  MAC Cosmetics does eye shadow palettes so well. Even if you have a dozen of them, there’s always something new to discover. This quartet has all the makings of a smokey eye that Marlene Dietrich would love.

The colors are intense and matte, yet they aren’t harsh, they’re just “smoulder-y” in taupe, brown eggshell and a soft black that will make even the black-averse, want to try more of it on their lids. This quartet is going to turn heads.

  • Real Fantasy Soft eggshell (Matte)
  • Hard Currency Grey (Matte)
  • Influential Brown (Satin)
  • Point ‘n’ Shoot Black (Matte)

 

RETRO MATTE LIQUID LIP COLOUR | $21.00 U.S. / $25.00 CAD | LIMITED EDITION

Advicesisters.com: A lip color that is inspired by Helmut Newton has to be bold and this one provides long lasting color in a liquid-suede finish, Chateau M is a deep red wine, Self Portrait, is a dark plum, High Heels Red is a bright bold red.

We tried High Heels Red and Chateau M. Both of these are very intensely pigmented and bold. Both High Heels Red and Chateau M are not just red-centric, they are seductive colors that clearly are not for shrinking violets (we sort of intend a pun here but you get the point)

If these were super-shiny like MAC LipGlass, they’d look a bit too Vampy, but in a moist-ly matte formula, they’re edgy and chic.

MAC Cosmetics x Helmut Newton Studio Nail Lacquer| $13.00 U.S. /  | LIMITED EDITION

Advicesisters.com:  MAC Nail Lacquer is a good bet for both value and performance. These colors are bold and shiny and bright, so it’s good to know that they’ll last for a couple of days, even if you type every day for hours (as editors must) and your nail lacquer takes a beating. The polish slides on like silk lingerie and lingers…what more can we say except the colors are lovely! 

These are Monte Carlo (red) and Berlin (purple)
