Maybe if MAC gets enough complaints they will get rid of this promo image. I think it's hideous.....
BUT, I will probably get a few shadesticks because I don't own any, and also a MSF because I really love them and I'm still building my MSF collection..... The lipgloss YUCK!!! LOL

I'm only getting MSFs from the collection.
The picture is...unfortunate...but more so for the model.

The promo picture is hideous; some of y'all were talking about The Color Purple. I'm thinking more like Bamboozled. But non WOC models occasionally get thrown under the bus by MAC also: anybody else remember the Balloonacy chick?
As for the makeup itself: it's pastel. Which in my case just means run away screaming. I don't want anything from this collection.

Yeah, I hear you and all, but it still doesn't take away from what may honestly be an unintentional underlying message/image. It really triggers a visceral response... we're not imagining what we're seeing.

I'm pretty excited about this collection, in part b/c I don't think I'll be getting anything from HK. Anyways, as far as the image...I don't have a problem with it. I mean at least MAC caters to women of all colors. I recently read a post about Stila and how they got of their darker shades in their foundations. I find this very contradictory considering that they have a new Barbie collection coming out, in which there is a black barbie w/ an afro as the face of it. The sugar sweet promo image doesn't offend me, mainly b/c it shows that woc can have fun with bright colors too. We're always stuck with the bronzes, gold, deep reds and plums...and I honestely believe that their is more out there for woc with makeup shades. This is just my opinion on the whole deal, and I'm glad to see such an interest in the collection. Its been really helpful for me in deciding what I want from it.
Happy mac-ing ladies!

For those of you who like the tri-color glosses in this collection, I saw some tri-color glosses by Milani at CVS. Somewhat similar. They're called Lip Mixers.
Here are some swatches.

I'm actually pretty excited about the tri-colour lipglasses. Are you supposed to mix them together?
