This is the first new collection of the year from MAC. This collection falls into Spring but I found that it is more on the season-less side since it focuses on natural beauty and has a wide range of products and shades that will flatter (as the title of the collection suggests) anyone that wishes to find products in this collection. The official write-up of the collection from the MAC website is right here, "Intent on a universal focus, a collection that extends our range with new shades to match every international skin tone. But that's not all. Because brows speak louder than words, two new products to help you express their style. In every language these are wow!"Here is the collection...
Eye Shadow - Highly-pigmented powder. Applies evenly, blends well.
- Cross Cultural - dark dirty yellow brown (Matte)
- All Races - cool light mauve taupe (Matte)
- Banshee - dirty taupe with frost and sparkle diamond cluster (Lustre)
- Showstopper - deep blackened brown (Matte)
Pigment - Pigment is a highly concentrated loose colour powder that contains ingredients to help it adhere to the skin. Create a subtle wash of colour or an intense effect. Does not streak or cake. Easy to blend and long-lasting.
- Universal Mix - sparkly white gold (Frost)
- Rich Life - dark cool brown with silver (Frost)
Impeccable Brow Pencil - A classic, creamy long-wearing brow pencil, with an easy-to-sharpen point. Fills in, defines, and colours with precision. Provides a natural matte. Makes the brows look impeccable.
- Taupe - mid-tone dirty taupe
- Dirty Blonde - cool light brown
- Blonde - pale yellow brown
- Black - blackened dark neutral brown
Eye Brows - Self-propelling, self-sharpening, brow defining. Confidently adds what you need: shape, colour, density in one streamlined tool. Like a pen, creates its own just-right point. Provides definition, shape, deepens/fills in colour. Creates striking arches. Easy to tote around. No sharpener needed.
- Lingering - soft taupe brown
- Spiked - rich brunette
Penultimate Brow Maker - A liquid, pen-style marker for colouring and styling the brows to a well-defined, natural-looking finish. Easy to control. Tapered tip provides precision and helps create the feathery strokes needed to fill in and perfect the brows. Flow-through, quick-drying formula means no smudges. Long-wearing.
- Universal - universal
Brow Set - Slick! Strokes on. Adds shine, style, grooming, overall wow! to the brows. A brush-on gel that grooms and slicks brows into shape without flaking or stiffening the brows. Available in several tinted shades or clear, it can be used on its own, or for a nice natural look stroke over Eye Brows. May also be used on lashes, sideburns, and chops - any facial hair.
- Clear - colour-free
- Mink - dirty brown
Lipstick - Colour plus texture for the lips. Stands out on the runway. Simmers on the street! What made MAC famous.

- Empowered - creamy mid-tone neutral brown (Satin)
- 5N - plummy sheer brown (Lustre)
Tinted Lipglass - A unique lip gloss available in a wide variety of colours that can create a high gloss, glass-like finish or a subtle sheen. Designed to be worn on its own, over Lip Pencil, or Lipstick, Tinted Lipglass is the perfect product for creating shine that lasts. It's pigmented, very shiny and can impart subtle or dramatic colour. It contains Jojoba Oil to help soften and condition the lips. Tinted Lipglass is packaged in a convenient bottle with a sponge tip applicator that provides a quick, smooth, even application.

Beauty Powder Blush - Silky-fine, shot with pearl, this blush inspires a subtle glow in tandem with a pure colour vibe. Ultra-smooth, delivers a light and alluring shimmer together with a sheer-colour payoff. Builds colour for ultimate effect. In every way luxurious. Limited Edition.
- Personal Style - light mauve taupe
- All's Good - cool deep rose
Blot Powder/Pressed - A unique pressed powder designed primarily to provide shine control without adding any noticeable colour or texture. Sets foundation, finishes faces. For use in professional situations and for frequent touch-ups. Blot Powder contains Mica and Silica to absorb excess oils and reduce shine on the skin's surface. Can be applied with the puff that comes in the compact or with a powder brush like #129 Powder/Blush Brush. Perfect for touching up Studio Fix Powder Foundation throughout the day. Available in four shades from Light to Deep Dark.
I can tell that a couple of the items in this collection could potentially hit a Holy Grail status for me. The first product that really caught my eye is the Lipstick in Equality, the swatch on the MAC site made it look very similar to Way To Love (however there is no pink in this shade for it may be too warm for my skin). I want the All Races and Banshee Eye Shadows and I also want to try the Universal Pigment. From all the eye brow products, I think that the best product for myself would be Eye Brows in Lingering. Lip product-wise, I also want the Lipstick in Myself and the Tinted Lipglass in both Glamour For All and Liqueur. To finish off the collection, I want the Beauty Powder Blush in All's Good and the Blot Powder in the palest shade. I have been into Beauty Powder Blushes ever since A Rose Romance and am jumping at the chance to buy another one.
