MAC Rossy de Palma
Described as a Picasso come to life, as well as Almodóvar’s muse, Spanish actress as well as design Rossy de Palma was something of an ‘it’ woman in the ’90s, however I seem to have missed that memo, lost to the exact same college vortex that sucked up the memo about Friends.
Yes, the TV show. I’ve never seen an episode of Friends.

How is that even possible, right? I don’t know, however it is.
I googled Rossy de Palma today, as well as oh em gee, the lady is gorgeous! I don’t even understand where to start. She’s in her 50s, as well as I like that she really appears like a 50-year-old woman. I can’t believe of anyone else who looks rather like her. She seems sassy, artsy, strong, as well as I notice a recurring style from her public pictures. She isn’t afraid to wear brights. She uses pinks on her lids, purples, teals…and I’m speaking from the lash line all the method to the brow bone! She goes all out! I believe I’m going to obsess over her now.
You can definitely see her like for brights in her new MAC collaboration, the MAC Rossy de Palma collection, particularly with the Veluxe Pearlfusion shadow Palette, Colours on the Verge ($32).

Brights play a huge part in this collection, however the must-have take-home for me is a neutral. Go figure. more on that in a few…
Before we dive in, can we just take a second to appreciate the packaging? — since MAC went all out.
MAC Rossy de Palma
Some pieces have a holographic effect, while others have an illustrated version of Rossy’s profile as well as her signature red lips.
Oh! — that’s one more thing. Rossy likes matte red lipstick. She’ll do nudes on occasion, however mainly she uses red.
MAC Colours On the Verge/Veluxe Pearlfusion Shadow
I believe the teal as well as navy blue in the Veluxe Pearlfusion combination are pure fun, however the pink as well as purple are cute, too. as well as everything’s pigmented.
I’ll be using the brights such as this again, as a single lid color and/or liner with a warm brown in the crease.
MAC Colours On the Verge/Veluxe Pearlfusion shadow ($32)
Veluxe Pearlfusion is a formula you can only discover in the five-pan MAC eye palettes (they’re the ones with the thin strips that go across the pan).

Technically, they’re powders, however they feel creamy, as well as they’re beyond simple to blend, which is my preferred thing about them. however they aren’t perfect. I do notice some after effects when I utilize this palette, as well as borderline a great deal of after effects with the navy shade. After I was done doing the makeup for this look, I had to do some major cleanup.
MAC Powder blush in Pink wish ($23)
The shadows are pigmented, however you understand what’s truly pigmented? Oh, my gosh, the blush! — Pink wish ($23).
MAC Powder blush in Pink wish ($23)
THAT SH*T IS CRAZY, MA! I packed my deal with clean with the littlest amount as well as dabbed it on each cheek, actually once, as well as I appeared like one of those old-timey haunted dolls with the round red circles on the face.
MAC Powder blush in Pink Desire
I accidentally eliminated about half of my foundation as well as concealer blending it out, however it ended up OK… I like exactly how the sheer skin contrasts with the shimmery eyes.
That’s me using Powder blush in Pink wish on my cheeks (I reeeeeally buffed it out) as well as Frenesi Lipstick on my lips, which I patted on as a discolor before buffing Pink wish blush on top.
This blush is NOT playing. It walks as much as you as well as slaps you suddenly across the deal with a number of times. It’s beautiful, however oy! — so difficult to work with.
MAC Lipsticks in Frenesi as well as Self Esteem ($17.50 each)
Here’s the funny thing about this collection: the juxtaposition of the stylish brights as well as some seriously traditional workhorse pieces like the $17.50 red matte lipsticks (Frenesi is a bit like Ruby Woo, as well as Self Esteem reminds me of MAC Red).

MAC My Moon/Eye shadow X 2 ($22)
There’s likewise a black-and-white eyeshadow duo called My Moon ($22), which is like a shimmery NARS Pandora duo. It’s practical for brightening or darkening other eyeshadows.
MAC My Moon/Eye shadow X 2 ($22)
For this look, to brighten the navy blue from the Veluxe Pearlfusion, I started with the white shade as a base.

For eyeliner, I used the black shade first, as well as then layered the teal from the combination on top. The black deepens the teal. If you want to add more dimension to your eye makeup, I’m serious — this duo is a workhorse.
MAC Nose Pose/Cream Colour Base X 2 ($22)
Surprisingly, what I ended up really, truly loving, as well as what I believe is the superstar of this entire collection, is the Nose Pose/Cream Colour Base duo ($22).
MAC Nose Pose/Cream Colour Base X 2 ($22)
I didn’t expect to like it since it appeared like a normally gray-brown as well as pink-beige contouring duo (snooze-fest!), however both colors are surprisingly warm, as well as yet not as well warm.
MAC Nose Pose/Cream Colour Base X 2 in African dream (top) as well as Morocco (bottom)
They’re basically like cream shadow versions of two famous MAC eyeshadow staples, beige Brule as well as warm brown Saddle. The beige works as a lovely, subtle brow bone highlight, as well as the brown is, like, a perfect crease color that you can totally control.
On my eyes, I’m using the white shade from My Moon Eye shadow X 2 (as a base on my lids), dark navy blue Deep from the Colours On the Verge Veluxe Pearlfusion combination (layered on top of the white), the warm brown cream from Nose present cream Colour Base (in the crease), the soft yellow from Nose present (brow bone), the black shade from My Moon with the teal shade from Colours On the Verge layered on top (lash lines), as well as shows Turquatic shine (patted around my lids).
I utilized both for this look. After applying the blue to my lids as well as lash lines, I feathered the edges by sweeping the brown cream into my crease with a MAC 217. I went with a domed clean since I desired a precise crease placement, although a 224 tapered clean would work, too, however since it’s wider, the cream would feather out more.
That brown is perfect. PERFECT. So simple to control. I usually have a tough time guiding crease shadow as well as controlling exactly how far up as well as out to go, however I got this cream precisely where I desired it to go. exact same for the brow bone highlight. Both are likewise simple to correct.
Lock down those cream shadows
I have dry lids, however I utilize MAC cream Colour Bases commonly as shadow, so I don’t have an problem with creasing or disappearing. They’ll move a bit throughout the day, however as long as I prime, I’m fine.
Here’s what you can do to lock that cream down: first, apply a thin layer of MAC Prep + Prime 24-Hour prolong Eye Base from lash line to brow bone, because, for some reason, this primer holds onto creams exceptionally well. let it completely dry, as well as then buff a thin layer of transparent powder directly on top — something like the $27 Prep + Prime transparent Powder from the Rossy collection. If you do that, any type of cream products you apply on top shouldn’t move.
