A few Makeup Bag readers want to know which Shiseido The Makeup products were used to create the above look on Patricia Schmid—and we have the answer:

Accentuating Creamy Eyeliner

Eye Shadow Quad Shimmer Q9

Automatic Lip Crayon LC3

Too bad her skin isn’t for sale!

In just two short weeks, the much anticipated MAC for McQueen collection makes its debut at MAC stores nationwide.

An egyptian themed collection with all the beauty and drama that designer Alexander McQueen is known for, MAC for McQueen is anything but subtle.

According to Elle Magazine‘s October issue, McQueen’s fantasy makeup looks are “part of his designs from the moment he sketches them.”

And now we get to be a part of it, too:

Eyeshadow

• Haunting Sea green (veluxe pearl)
• Nile Soft royal blue with white pearl (veluxe pearl)
• Pagan Lime green with yellow pearl (veluxe pearl)

Lipstick

• Archtype Light gold (lustre)
• Masque Rosy pink (satin)

Lipglass

• Nothingless Baby pink with white pearl
• White Magic White gold with yellow pearl

Kohl Power Eye Pencil

• Black Karat Black with gold pearl (frost)
• Feline Rich black
• Jealous Black with green pearl

Paint Pots

• Electro Sky Royal intense blue
• Pharaoh Creamy yellow green
• Otherworldly Mid-tone sea blue

Mineralize Skinfinish

• New Vegas Golden beige with bronze pearl

We’ll be standing outside our local MAC store on October 11th, waiting for it to open, because we refuse to live life without New Vegas and Jealous.

If you’ve been patiently waiting for the new MAC Mattene collection that was scheduled to hit counters today—you’re, sadly, going to have to wait one more week.

The new release date is now October 4.

In the mean time—since we’ve had an opportunity to preview this collection—we’ll tell you about our favorites:

Composure, a neutral bronze plum, is semi-matte and SO flattering for our skin tone.

Classic Dame, the shade Dita Von Teese is wearing here (with gloss over), is gorgeous. Love.

Immodest, a bright magenta, is the color Bree swears she’ll wear to the Homecoming dance on Saturday as it matches her dress perfectly. We’ll see if she’s brave enough—as her lip gloss MO is pale, pale, pale.

Watch for these next week!

Lancôme Color Ideal Pressed Powder is a silky pressed powder that is so micro-fine, it “precisely adapts to your skin’s own tone and texture.”

Sounds crazy, we know, but it seems to be true. We sampled this in Medium 10N (on the lighter side of the 11 shade spectrum) and the fine powder gave us a nice sheer coverage that looked super natural—even with the puff—and kept our shine at bay for hours.

With the option of either a brush or puff, plus eleven versatile shades to choose from, Lancôme Color Ideal Pressed Powder could be just what your Makeup Bag needs.
