using the new MAC Antonio Lopez 6 Eyes combination in Teal on my eyes and deal with combination in Coral on my cheeks
I am a girl. I am a woman with dreams.
Makeup dreams.

BIG, strong makeup dreams. dreams of getting all dolled up exactly like the gal on this new MAC Antonio Lopez 6 Eyes palette, and then going to Petco to buy kitty litter.
Haaay, gurl, haaay!
SO fabulously DISCO DIVALICIOUS.
Let’s see… I believe I have a blue scarf around right here somewhere, and some black earrings, and I’m believing I could most likely imitate the hair. Kan være.

Oh, but that crazy-@ss earring?! I’ll definitely have to improv that, considering that something tells me I most likely wouldn’t be able to discover it (easily) at Claire’s.
The makeup, though, I’ve got that covered, boo-boo, thanks to the MAC Antonio Lopez collection’s mix of eye, lip and cheek palettes.
The MAC Antonio Lopez collection
A bunch of quite palettes
The new collection struts into North American MAC stores, onto counters and on the internet September 12, and shows up at worldwide locales the exact same month (international babes, you may want to swing by your regional counter to ask your fave MAC artist for a firm date).
Soooo…who IS this dude?

First thing I believed when I saw these palettes was, “Oh, hell yes!” The second thing was, “Who is Antonio Lopez?”
Antonio Lopez (February 11, 1943 — March 17, 1987) was a world-renowned fashion illustrator who’s work appeared in lots of top-tier glossies like Vogue, Harper’s exposition and Elle, in addition to the style pages of papers like The new York Times. In addition to his artwork, he’s understood for finding lots of popular models, too, including Grace Jones and Jerry Hall.
The new MAC Antonio Lopez collection features a few of his drawings, with each of the palettes embellished with one of his muses (MAC phone calls the women “Antonio’s Girls”).
Hei damer!
An afternoon with Antonio
This afternoon I told Tabs that I could only work a half day because I had a prior interaction with three eyeshadow palettes and the two deal with palettes. He grumbled and bit my nose.
Then, I crossed my fingers, did a disco dance (the Hustle, IF you need to know), and really hoped to discover just as much beauty inside these palettes as out.
MAC Antonio Lopez: 6 Eyes Palettes in Bronze, Violet and Teal ($43.50 each us and $52 CDN)
The 6 Eyes Palettes clockwise from the left: Violet, Teal and Bronze
What did I find?
Well, the one eye combination I felt type of “eh” about at first, Teal, [turned out to be] much a lot more fascinating than I thought.
6 Eyes/Teal Palette
The very first time I saw its colors, they didn’t rather make sense to me, but after I started buffing and blending, the mix of bright blue and eco-friendly played well with the smokier olive, black, gray and light violet shades.
Now if I could only get rid of the fallout… say thanks to goodness, there’s only a little. If I were forced, cruelly, to choose just one of these three eye palettes to get down with, I’d choose Teal quicker than you could state “boogie-oogie-oogie.”
MAKEUP and beauty blog RATING: B+/A-
As for after effects problems with the other two eye palettes, Violet and Bronze, nope. Ingen.
6 Eyes/Violet Palette
Violet’s pink and purple provide it a foxy ’80s vibe, and I believe that bottom row of gray, silver and black must satisfy my lust for smokey eyes (kind of reminds me of Prism by Hourglass). The cream shade in the upper right-hand corner, though? Not that inspiring, but I appreciate the contrast.

6 Eyes/Bronze Palette
Bronze is like the practical sibling who, if pressured to have another a kamakazi, ends up dancing on top of a table, LOL!
I was truly looking ahead to Bronze because you understand I lurves me my neutrals, especially the sassy pink and coral.
I the concept of those shades contrasting with the gold, brown, taupe and cream, and I almost shed a glittery tear as I realized that the nuances in a few of the colors are somewhat lost on my skin tone. next time I believe I’ll wet my clean head very first before applying to coax out a lot more intensity. If you’re a lighter lass than NC42, I don’t believe the pigment would be an issue. This one’s both quite and practical.

The front of the palettes…

The MAC Antonio Lopez collection deal with combination packaging…
The collection also features two deal withpalettes that, like Transformers, are a lot more than satisfies the eye. open the compact and BAM! — a blush and highlighter. then slide the pan to the ideal to expose a bronzer underneath.
Teknologi! We haz it!
What you see when you very first open the deal with Palettes. That’s Face/Pink on the left and Face/Coral on the right.
Slide the top layer over to expose the bronzer underneath! Face/Pink on the left and Face/Coral on the right.
Sorry, I’m a bit cray ideal now. need to eat soon.
So, Face/Coral (officially, that’s its name) leans warm while Face/Pink leans cool, with Coral being the darker of the two.
Face/Coral
I’m crushing on Face/Coral ’cause I like the method it looks with my post-vacation tan. The coral blush is brighter and a lot more intense (so it shows up easily on my skin) than its counterpart in the other palette, and the peachy gold highlighter feels RyGos smooth. The bronzer — it reminds me of my cherished NARS Laguna, but without the shimmer. You bettah rock this if you wear warm colors well.
MAKEUP and beauty blog RATING: A
Face/Pink
I like Face/Pink, too, although the bronze-ish highlighter feels a bit chunkier than I’d like. The pink blush is perhaps also a tad as well sheer for me, as is the bronzer, but I can absolutely see lighter lovelies twerkin’ this one. makeup and beauty blog RATING: B+
Two things before I fail to remember — I type of desire that 1) MAC had also included another choice for gals NC44 and up, considering that both Pink and Coral may not register well on darker skin tones; and 2) I had a unicorn to teleport me to McDonald’s ideal now, ’cause I’m hella hungry.
