Where does one start when reviewing a collection inspired by the artist/designer Daphne Guinness? Stating the collection as being “the window of my imagination”, Daphne and MAC collaborated on this winter collection palette and view it as an extension of her art.
Daphne Guinness is best known for her fashion and art collaborations and MAC has truly represented her well in both color and design with this December 26th release. There are so many beautiful hues in this collection that it might take a bit more time than usual to read the collection list! Note: first we saw Ombre in hair color, then nails, now, here in the MAC Ombre blush! There are going to be so many different looks you can achieve with this collection, so I gave it my best at mimicking the ad campaign shot. Check it out below! The collection includes the following:
