Selena For Mac
#MACSelena Collection EDIT: This collection is re-launching on December 28th, 2016! Launching online October 1st and in-store October 6th, the MAC Selena Collection celebrates the vivacity of the Mexican-American singer, Selena Quintanilla.
Ever since the MAC x Selena collaboration was announced, fans of both the late singer and the brand have been scrambling to get their hands on the products. MAC x Selena features two lipsticks, five eyeshadows, blush and bronzer compact, liquid liner, and a mascara all inspired by the late singer's style. The colors are absolutely gorgeous in this.
This collection has been much anticipated and also requested throughout the years. It is super cool to see that MAC was listening and delivered! This collection was curated with Selena's sister which makes it feel so special and personal. The entire collection is a gorgeous bright/royal purple which I think is super unique and inline with the colours that were in during Selena's life without looking dated. If you'd like to see the collection in action I use it in this.
MAC Selena Techo Cumbia Blush The first item I have from this collection is the MAC Selena ($29 US/$34 CAD). It looks more like a blush/bronzer duo to me!
That being said, as you will see in the swatches below the 'bronzer' portion swatches much more red on the skin, but then in application it looks semi-cool toned on the skin. I honestly found this a little confusing and still can't determine exactly how I prefer to use it. Download minecraft 1.5.2 for mac free. It looks so cool toned in the pan! MAC Selena Techo Cumbia Swatches As you'll see, the blush has better pigmentation than expected but the 'bronzer is quite stiff in the pan. If you purchase this I think it is going to be up to you and your skintone/undertone as to how you prefer to use it. It does look kind of bruise like in the swatch but it does not come off that way on the face.
This makes the product super versatile and don't forget, it can be used as eyeshadow too. MAC Selena Techo Cumbia Matte Blush #MACSelena Blush MAC Selena Como La Flor Lipstick Although I am a 90s baby, I do somewhat remember Selena. More so I remember Jennifer Lopez always being compared to her.
What I do remember of her I know she wore a lot red lipstick, and the ($18 US/22 CAD) seems to be a great representation of what she wore. MAC Selena Red Lipstick Como La Flor is an Amplified finish which has tons of pigment, and a nice creamy formula. I recommend a lip liner if you are afraid of it moving around, or you can blot after application. MAC Selena Dupes As you can see above, MAC R.E.D is a pretty close dupe for MAC Como La Flor although it is slightly cooler toned.
MAC Ruby Woo is a Retro Matte Formula but the color is quite close and Lady Danger has a ton more orange in it. MAC Selena 129 Short Handle Brush This is the short handle version of the ($35 US/ $42 CAD).

I think that this brush is incredibly versitle and can be used for powder and blush as MAC recommends but it could also do bronzer and highlight. It has a great amount of density, but not so much that it is going to pack on too much product, it can place product and then blend it out like a dream. Wearing MAC Selena Collection!
