MAC has a highland fling
MAC’s latest holiday colour collection, A Tartan Tale is said to take its inspiration from the highlands of Scotland and the punk era of the Sex Pistols. The unusual paring, described as royal and raunchy, has resulted in a range of russet, heather and blue hues cut with vibrant pinks and greens.

The range includes five lipsticks ranging from The Faerie Glen, a pale netural pink, to Full Fuchsia, a bright blue fuchsia; five shades of Dazzleglass Crème; six shades of eyeshadow, each featuring a tartan pattern imprinted on the powder; three shades of pigment; two shades of powder blush; five eyeliner shades; and two nail lacquers.
