In the MAC Artificially Wild Collection, MAC Takes Nudes Underground With dirty Mauves, Sooty Greys and golden beige Browns

wearing the new MAC Artificially Wild Collection
Did you ever read Do Androids dream of electric Sheep? It’s the Phillip K. Dick story that inspired Bladerunner, and in it there are these ultra realistic android animals, like robotic dogs and cats, that some people have as pets because many of the real animals are driven extinct during a world war. only the mega rich can afford to have living, breathing pets. everyone else’s animals are artificially wild…

Which brings me to this: MAC Artificially Wild.

Based on MAC’s promo pics for the 22-piece release, truth be told, I was kinda freaked out. The camo, the dark shadows under the model’s eyes — it seemed potentially drab and depressing, and I couldn’t see myself feeling good in a look like that.

But I liked the overall idea. Nudes, with a subversive, fight-the-power angle. instead of regular warm, buttery browns and beiges, there were dirty mauves, sooty greys, golden beige browns and a light sprinkling of khaki.

In the end, the call of the wild was too strong to resist. After playing with the products, I started to come around…

It was kind of like when you see a dress that you’d never pick out for yourself on a hanger, but just for kicks, you try it on, and then you think, “OK. យាយ។ I can work this.”

Cheek products for contouring

There are some amazing things here…like the cheek products, in particular. A couple of ’em contour and carve out cheekbones better than Michelangelo. I really like the Powder blush in Taupe, which transforms my chubby cherub cheeks into chiseled choppers capable of cutting concrete.

I think cream Colour Base in breaking Ground deserves mentioning. A purplish gray mauve, you can use it below your cheekbones to create well-placed shadows on your face. Chanel did something like it a while back with a powder blush called Notorious… breaking Ground is basically a cream version.

Shout-out to late ’90s lips

With the lip colors, there’s a lot of late ’90s throwback action happening (Cork Lip Pencil and Spite Lipglass? Hello, 1998!) and a lot of encore presentations. eight of the 12 pieces are re-promotes from the permanent line.

The grayish nudes, the deep frosted browns — I totally rocked these shades out in my last year of college. Now, I question them… I’m not exactly sure if the grayish shades qualify as “traditionally flattering” because of how ghastly they look on me now, but if you’re nostalgic for the era, why the heck not?

The Eye Shadows

Unfortunately, I’m not really feeling any of the four Eye Shadows… I usually have a hard time turning down nude shadows, but mauve artificial Earth, soft gray Stony and dirty olive Marsh seem underwhelming.

I do like using natural Wilderness, the golden mustard shade, as a transition shade, but I think that’s mostly because I’ve been lemming MAC Uninterrupted lately, and the two look kinda similar.
