ok...I got 1/2 way through this thread before I felt the need to comment
I will go back and read the whole thread, but here is my opinion on what I have read. If we look at the runways which is where most fashion, including, but not limited to makeup comes from, then we will see some really CRAZY things! I myself do shop couture, but when you shop couture it is not intended to be worn the same way it is worn on the runways. The same goes for MAC collections. How many times do we see the awesome artistic pictures on the postcards for every collection that are very beautiful art, but you would never wear this look on the street. I think (and I'm 33) that MAC is an awesome promoter of their line. It does have everything for every age. My 87 year old mother in law, myself, and my 17 year old step daughter all wear MAC and we are in the Miami/Ft Lauderdale area which is one of the hottest, most trendy spots in this country. I see plenty of women above 25 shopping at MAC. Infact, I see more adults than teenagers. I think that ANYONE thinking that any product line is for 1 age group is being very closed minded! I am only 33 and was happy to finally see someone classy and clothed representing this company. I see plenty of women here looking very edgy and hip and WHO says that shouldn't be. I think anything that makes a woman feel beautiful is great! Isn't that the whole point of makeup anyway? MAC will never lose customers based on who represents them. In the end it is the product that sells! I would love to see any of the youngsters here go to a MAC counter and have a C. Deneuve makeover. I am sure any of the talented MA at MAC could give you any look you were going for with this line! I dare any to try. And BTW even if a 85 year old woman wears blue eyeshadow who are WE to judge? I see 16 year olds wearing thongs on the beach, but who am "I" to judge. To each his own I say! And I would also dare to say that any of the hip and trendy couture lines like Dolce and Gabbana would want you to wear their clothes on the street like they have them displayed on the runway so I don't think MAC was only gearing this line for the "older" crowd, they were just "showing" the older women that they too could wear MAC and look beautiful! Just my 2 cents!
