Smokey eye, nude lip and contoured cheek? Those three words and you'll have me running to counters.  The Carine Roitfeld and Mac collaboration couldn't have been more up my street if it tried, in fact as soon as I layed eyes on the collection I knew it would end up in my stash.
Mac X Carine Roitfeld Full Face Kit in Desert Camouflage and Lipstick in Tropical Mist

The collection features a Full Face Kit complete with four eyeshadows, a beige, golden bronze, taupe and black shade that slides open to a cream contour cheek shade. Smokey eyes, which will come as no surprise to you ladies as something I love, but if I had to choose four shades to create a smokey eye, these would be them. A light shade for highlighting and all over the lid, a golden and taupe to add some colour and matte black for definition. The only shade that's missing is brown, but none the less, a perfect palette for creating a smokey eye. Plus, to add that extra kick, the Cremeblend Blush in Sand Storm gets blended along cheekbones for enhancement.


There are many more pieces in the collection but the only other that took my fancy was the Lipstick in Tropical Mist, a sheer translucent nude. I'm not too keen on Mac formulas but it seemed appropriate to go all out in the smokey eye nude lip combo, which I think turned out rather nicely, don't you?
