MAC Cosmetics RiRi Hearts MAC.

Get ready! The MAC Cosmetics RiRi Hearts MAC Fall collection will be for sale online tomorrow, September 26th. Be prepared, because if the RiRi Hearts MAC Summer Collection was any indication, this new RiRi Hearts MAC Fall collection will sell out in record time too.

Rihanna premieres her perfect palette of lavish fall colour – a range of decidedly daring yet classically gorgeous shades, finishes and tools, all encased in the metallic warmth of rose gold packaging. Lipstick in deep raisin, orange frost, creamy nude and the vivid red of RiRi Woo match gleaming Lipglass, while eyes in contrasting soft and smoky cocoas complement luminous skin highlighted with Diamonds Cream Colour Base and Powder Blush in Bad Girl Gone Good.

This one is all about fall. It features bold colors for the lips, subtle smoky shades for the eyes, and beautiful glowy products for the cheeks.

My favorite products in the collection are for the face -- or cheeks in this case. They included the very popular Hibiscus Kiss Powder Blush Duo again. This is a beautiful powder bronzer in a neutral shade that can be worn by anyone. It is a light shade of bronzer, and looks especially great when blended with the cool coral blush. For my cheeks, though, I am loving the Powder Blush in Bad Girl Gone Good. It is very wearable copper peach shade, with a beautiful satin finish. It is the perfect color to transition skin from summer to fall. I use a bit of the Cream Colour Base in Diamonds, dabbed high on my cheekbones to finish the cheek look.

Of course, the star product of the collection is RiRi Woo, another relaunch. This time, it includes RiRi Woo Lipglass that totally completes the look. As I am not a huge fan of red on myself and prefer to wear a red gloss, this cool red cream shade is it for me.

The collection finishes with subtle smoke and drama for the eyes. Each palette contains four easy to wear colors in either light browns or light grays. They are both lighter than what I expected, so the emphasis is on the subtle when I say smoke. The drama comes from the Pointblack Liquilast Liner and the Extended Play Lash Gigablack Mascara.

Fall 2013: MAC Retro Matte.

Who doesn't love a new lip color for fall? It is one of the easiest ways to incorporate a new trend into your beauty look. This season it is not just about the color, it is about the texture. Matte is a beautiful texture that is great for fall. The new MAC Retro Matte collection takes both of these into account; beautiful color and matte texture. It all equals one beautiful fall look.

With its one-of-a-kind Retro Matte texture, Ruby Woo Lipstick has become a smash hit both on and off the runway. Inspired by its stunning popularity, M·A·C has revamped this lipstick legend with invigorating, bold shades in its Retro Matte finish. Eye-catching new colours like Dangerous and All Fired Up create a look that’s feminine yet fierce. M·A·C also introduces its Pro Longwear Lip Pencils in a vibrant, new colour palette, giving this long-lasting and transfer-proof lip pencil an exhilarating makeover.

I love how the matte finish offers a stronger color payoff that looks bold and lasts. I prefer a glossier feel on my lips, so I do use a bit of C-Thru Lipglass dabbed into the center of my lips over these shades.

Lipstick - $15.00

MAC Metallics for Fall.

I love metallic shades in the fall. Looking through my recent stash of fall products, I noticed that many of the beauties from the MAC Indulge Collection were metallic, in various shades of brown. I have found myself turning to these almost daily to create beautiful looks on my eyes, lips and nails.

My favorite MAC metallics for fall include:

Eyes

Deliciously Rich Fluidline - This is a beautiful shimmery eyeliner in a medium taupe color. The shimmer is gold and the overall look is gorgeous. I have been applying the liner with the MAC Flat Definer Brush 212 to smudge it right at my lash line. I really like to smudge this out and think it would look great smudged a bit on the lid as a shadow. I just don't think the formula is right for that.

Gilt Morsel Eye Shadow - In a lustre formula, this silky formula is a bit glittery in a light gold. This is perfect to highlight on the brow bone, right in the center of a darker eye look to open up the eye, or dabbed into the inner corner to draw attention there as well.

Divine Decadence - This veluxe eyeshadow in a beautiful bronze is great for all over the lid. It reminds me of an old penny, as in a dirty copper. It makes my eyes that can easily look blue/green, to hazel, to green depending on what I wear, look a gorgeous shade of green.

Lips

Smash Hit Dazzle Lipstick - This super sparkly lipstick goes on sheer with an opalescent gold sparkle. Wear it on its own for a sparkle nude look, or over a deeper shade to add a bit of softness and dimension to the lip with the sparkle.

By Design Frost Lipstick - This soft, shimmery beige lipstick is a great nude for fall. The frost is not overly heavy and it look great on its own or layered under a gloss, like the one below.

Ultimate Dish Lipglass - This almost see through nude glossy with subtle pearl is gorgeous over darker shades to lighten them up. I am especially loving it over By Design for the ultimate nude lip with a bit of sparkle.

Nails

Magnificent Feast Nail Lacquer - This heavily glittered pure gold frosted nail polish makes for an easy gold accent nail. I like using it on my ring fingers only to accent a bold fall manicure.

All of these fall metallics from the MAC Indulge Collection are available now at all MAC locations and online at maccosmetics.com.
