MAC Naughty NauticalsAfter Fafi and Heatherette, the latest MAC collection brings you from Spring straight into Summer time.
The inspiration is the Côte d’Azur in the French Riviera, circa 1960. Think of Brigitte Bardot, retro striped and polka-dot bikinis, and Mick Jagger marrying Nicaraguan model Bianca Perez de Macias in Saint-Tropez, et voilà, you get the idea of how chic this collection is.

The shades go from deep-sea blues to coral reds. The emphasis is either on the eyes (with deep plum or blues) or on the lips (with shiny, textured lipsticks and lustreglass). The nails follow the same rule, either in dark royal blue or coral red.
The collection includes:

  • Lipstick in Buoy-O-Buoy, Party Mate, Ahoy, There! and Port Red
  • Lustreglass in Love Knot, Bateaux, Ensign, Hey, Sailor
  • Eye shadow in Shore Leave, Illegal Cargo, Submarine, Meet The Fleet, Pandamonium
  • Pigment in Lark About, Mutiny, Bell-Bottom Blue, Lovely Lily
  • Technakohl Liner in Smoothblue and Greyprint
  • Pro Lash Mascara in Coal Black
  • Nail Lacquer in Naughty Nautical and Shirelle
