Now that our Christmas and New Year celebrations are done and dusted, we’ve started prepping for the next festivity on the calendar: Chinese New Year. It isn’t just our homes and wardrobes we’re refurbishing, though. Yup, we’re giving our makeup collections a little spring clean too, which means we’ve got more room for new beauty drops (fret not, your incoming ang baos will soon cover your expenses).
If there’s a set of makeup products we’ll be grabbing soon, it’s definitely the one that’s coming down M.A.C’s pipeline. Meet the makeup brand’s limited edition Lunar New Year collection.
Comprised of 5 lipsticks, a blush duo compact, and an eyeshadow palette, the collection is packed with peachy tones and everyday neutrals. This time, M.A.C seems to have given a gorgeous touch of ombré pink to the tubes and compacts in the lineup too, taking on the colours of a peach as it ditches its signature sleek black packaging. The lipstick bullets have a gorgeous gradient, with a deeper pink shade on the cap that fades into a beige bottom, separated by a stripe of gold at the centre.
M.A.C Lunar New Year Lipstick, $33 each
(L-R): Good Health, Peachy New Year, Prosperity, Pure Happiness, To Luck!
We’re pretty much in love with all the lip colours, in particular. There’s “Good Health”, a muted peachy-nude shade with a satin finish; “Peachy New Year”, a soft satin-finish peach shade with gold pearl; “Prosperity”, a vibrant pink-coral that goes on matte; “Pure Happiness”, a sheer pink in a cremesheen finish; and “To Luck!”, a dark dusty rose that has a matte finish. These wearable lippies sure make great gifts
M.A.C Lunar New Year Luck & Fortune Eyeshadow Palette, $72
M.A.C Lunar New Year Powder Blush Duo, $48
As mentioned, there’s also an eyeshadow palette with 9 shades of lustres, satins, and matte shadows to play with. And you guessed it – they’re a mix of warm sands, pink pearls, and peachy neutrals, so you’ll be using these long after CNY is over. Go ahead and top off your look with the Powder Blush Duo too. The soft matte pink and pale peach shades will add some warmth to your complexion – just what we need to look alive on dreary mornings.
