MAC Jeremy Scott: Acoustica Cheek x 3 Palette

on
Thursday, February 8, 2018

Today, MAC will be launching their collaboration with Moschino creative director, Jeremy Scott. Known for his odes to pop culture in his designs with fashion house Moschino, his collection with MAC is inspired by '90s music nostalgia: "Hailed as one of fashion's last true rebels, Jeremy Scott creates decadent high fashion from American cultural obsessions. With a fanatical following of pop music's biggest icons, the irreverent designer provokes and pushes into fashion's outer limits. Scott's collection for MAC introduces manic colour for eyes, lips and cheeks specially packaged in cheeky tribute to the days of mixtapes, boomboxes, new music, and unhinged creative expression taking root on city streets." There are three products in this collection, all of which are new and limited edition. The Acoustica cheek palette houses three new and limited edition shades: one highlighter, one bronzer, and one blush. They are housed in a special edition metal compact disc mirrored case with "Cheeky Vol. 1 Mixtape" written on the lid. Each Acoustica Cheek x 3 Palette contains a total of 9.2 grams of product, and retails for $41.

Heaven in Your Smile, Acoustica, and Wall of Desire

Heaven in Your Smile is a light warm golden champagne beige with iridescent shimmer-sheen in a Frost finish. This is a new and limited edition shade. It has a smooth, finely-milled texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It can be layered and blended out easily. It is darker and warmer than Double-Gleam, more beige than Oh, Darling!, and more golden than Soft and Gentle.
Acoustica is a medium-dark warm golden tan in a Matte finish. This is a new and limited edition shade. It has a soft, finely-milled texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It can be layered and blended out easily. It is warmer than Matte Bronze, warmer and more golden than Blunt, and cooler and more golden than Give Me Sun!.
Wall of Desire is a medium warm peachy pink in a Satin finish. This is a new and limited edition shade. It has a soft, finely-milled texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It can be layered and blended out easily. It is more peach than Desert Rose, darker and more pink than Melba, and more peach and more muted than Fleur Power.

This is just freaking adorable. It really does look exactly like a case for a blank CD. Again, I have to point out that this is a novelty item, so the design of the palette is just as important as the product carried within it. But I do think it was designed in a way that fit the shades practically while still maintaining the integrity of the theme. Unlike the eyeshadow palette, there are no wildcard colours here, so all three shades are widely flattering and pretty foolproof. It should work on all skintones from light to medium-dark, though it will likely show up ashy on dark to deep-dark skintones. As it is, all three shades are soft, smooth, and pigmented, and the palette contains a good amount of product for a reasonable price. So despite the eyeshadow palette being the star of this collection, I do think this will be the bestseller.
