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.

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!
