I am selflishly glad that this collection didn't suit a lot of people. Now before you shoot me hear me out!
I'm pale. I mean I'm glow in the dark freakin white as snow! The only thing that prevents me from blending in with paper are my freckles. I know it seems like still in this day and age white ladies are still unfairly catered to in the industry and while I sort of agree, from my perspective it seems more like mid-toned, from medium-light to tan is actually what most things are made for. Dark ladies get the shaft too often but us super pale, tend to be either be light asian or from the British isles, also very much get screwed. I won't even go into the pain of being both pale skinned and yellow-toned!
It is very hard for me to find colours that suit me. Everything looks overly pink, overly bright, overly intense, overly dark etc. Sometimes bright or dark is a great thing, but for every day at work, its very hard for me to find products that don't make me look like painted up!
Once a year, right after Xmas, MAC comes out with a pale, pre-spring collection that if I am LUCKY is not so filled with pinky pinks that I can finally get some things I can add to my regular rotation without having to either: apply lightly, blend in over a light colour, or find some other workaround so I look decent.
So I understand your frustration, I really do, I experience it with most collections myself! Try to see how these collections are a good thing though, I mean, its only once a year and I can't help being the colour of Vanilla ice cream and I need makeup too!
