MAC Colour Craft

Colour Craft is the newest collection from MAC, launching in stores today. I can already feel that this will not be a collection for me...look at the promo pic! I could never look like that nor would I ever want to. I am going to look at this collection with the assumption that I will be skipping over it but let's still take a look and see if I can find anything that will work out for me in real life.

Here is the description of the collection from MAC, "Every artist must be daring to hone her craft. Go ga-ga over this dizzying array of new hues. The self-made individuality of arts and crafts finds its way in a soaring one-of-a-kind creation: you. Don't skimp on the materials. Get creative!"

Let's check it out...

109 Small Contour Brush - Use on the face to apply, blend, or contour powder products. Softly rounded dome tip delivers just enough colour; smoothly blends colour into the face. Of natural fibres.

131 Duo Fibre Powder/Blush Brush - A flat, tapered face brush featuring a combination of short natural fibres and longer synthetic fibres making it ideal for the highlighting/contouring of Mineralize Skinfinish and all powder products.

226 Small Tapered Blending Brush - Short, tapered blending brush with ultra-soft, natural bristles. For application and blending of shadow on the lid, and perfect for working the crease.

My only must-have from this collection is the 226 brush, this looks like a perfect brush for blending that is just a smidge smaller than the 224 that I already have. I would like to get the Madly Crative Lipstick but I'm not a fan of any of the other lip products. Many of the eye shadows look like colors that I would want to own but I dislike greatly how all four shades are in the same container, the package totally ruins all of them for me. I would use them twice and all four shades would get mixed together and that would be the end of it. I don't really care for any of the blush shades or the other Mineralize products made for this collection.

This collection looks too hard to work with for myself. This might have been a bit more workable as a Pro only collection.
