Create Your Own Color Story...

[MAC_Pixie04]

So my ultimate goal in life is to either run my own cosmetics company or be in the marketing/product development team of an already existing company, and simply adding/deleting songs from my iPod and cutting up old magazines was inspiration enough for me to design my own theoretical MAC Color Story. And I started coming up with products, colors, clever product color names etc etc, similar to how MAC's themed color stories do.

So in like 15 years or something, if I were working at MAC, I'd name Christina Aguilera as Icon number like...25 or whatever we'd be at. So an Icon Collection color story would be in order. And here are my hypothetical products...

Dirrty Eyes Quad
Blonde Bombshell - shimmery beige with gold frost (Frost)
Trouble - emerald green with silver and gold glitter flecks (Velvet)
Dirrty - chocolate brown with emerald green duochrome/frost (Veluxe Pearl)
Chrome Yellow - Repromote (i loved the use of this in her Viva Glam look)

Beautiful Eyes Quad
Shroom -Repromote
Sharptongue - Jet Black with pink glitter flecks (Velvet)
Beautiful - Deep Carnation Pink (satin)
Heartsong - Icy pearl ivory (frost)

Lipstick
Xtina - Juicy blue-red with gold frost (Frost)
Baby Jane - Little girl pink with pearl (lustre)
Fighter - Deep Eggplant (Satin)
Overflow - Warm neutral brown with pink duochrome/frost (Frost)

Lipglass
Grown Woman - Clear gloss with reflected red pearl
Unbreakable - Plum with pink pearl
Stripped - Fleshy pink/brown
Overjoyed - Hot Pink with Silver Pearl

Blush:
Hot Pants - Warmed up Hot Pink (matte)
Hello, Lover - Neutral pink/taupe with pearl

And that's my late night creative expression.

What would your ideal color story be? I'm anticipating big ideas from all you MAC fanatics here!

[Chic 2k6]

oh man! that totally sounds like what i'd buy! C'mon MAC! listen to MAC_Pixie!!

I have no idea what to put for my collection

[amy_forster]

I'm not sure what I'd put out for my own collection but that collection sounds fab!!!! I think you should email MAC and tell them to release it!!! I'd buy almost everything from it!!!

[foxyqt]

i love the idea of the Dirrty Eyes Quad! =D you're very creative..

[ledonatella]

Of course being the Madonna fan I am, I would have an icon collection with her. So my collection would go like this:

Who's That Girl quad:
Lucky Star-golden beige with gold shimmers veluxe pearl
True Blue- true mid-tone blue frost
La Isla Bonita- shimmery pinky-coral with gold tone frost
Open Your Heart- light pink veluxe pearl with very light gold shimmers

Ray Of Light quad- (all the shadows would be a new finish called metallic which would look like foil)
Impressive Instant- metallic silver
Get Together- deep bronze metallic
X-static Process- bright metallic gold with yellow undertone
Swim- ultra metallic turquoise green

Lipsticks-
Blonde Ambition- similer to Blonde on Blonde but a Amplified Creme
Holiday- bright sunny coral with pink undertone frost
Dress You Up- mid tone red with a light blue undertone Amplified Creme
Hollywood- pinky beige lustre with slight beige shimmers
Angel- repromote

Lipglasses-
Frozen- pale icy pink with white glitter
Bye Bye Baby- pale baby beige cream
Vogue- candy apple red with gold glitter
Express Yourself- a pink that flashes bronze in the light (like pink bronze pig. in lip form)

Blush-
Cherish- mid tone pink with beige undertone matte
Boarderline- deep coral with gold shimmers

Irridescent Pressed Powder-
Queen Of Pop- Bright Sparking Gold Shimmer Highlighter

Fluidlines-
Material Girl- Metallic Fuschia
Like A Virgin- Metallic Ivory with Gold Shimmer
Blitz & Glitz- repromote

[d_flawless]

it'd be some name from hawaii...and all bright tropical colors with lots of nail polishes (steamy would definitely be a re-promote) and plenty of beautiful bright colors in eyeshadows, liners, and lipgloss...they'd have to be veluxe pearl though, cuz i want color payoff!

[Indigowaters]

Mine would be named after Mary J. Blige. It would be the "Share My World" collection. Here’s my list:

Mascara
Not Gon’ Cry – Purple Black Waterproof

The Breakthrough Eyeshadow Quad
KC – Blackish gray cloud color
Kendu – Platinum silver with silver reflects
Just Mary – Crushed gold glitter pressed
Love Without A Limit – Burgundy lustre with wine sparkles

Lipglass
Be Happy – Orange Gold with gold reflective glitter
I’m Going Down – Mahogany Red

Blush
Family Affair – Dark Warm Goldish Pink

Nail Lacquer
Love Is All We Need – Primary Red with gold iridescent micro glitter

[MAC_Pixie04]

I like the madonna and mary j blige collections! and i wish mac would accept these as suggestions, but I doubt they would. but madonna's definitely in the running for Icon, somewhere down the road they have to pick her, she's far too established and beautiful to be passed over.

[meagannn]

This is such an awesome thread! Great idea, and these are fabulous i'll get started thinking about mine and post it later!

[GalleyGirl]

Cool idea! I'm not much for dreaming up color combos, but I like to think of hypothetical names of collections - Mine would be based on Liv Tyler as an icon.

Stealing Beauty e/s quad
Ethereal e/s quad (based on her Lord of the Rings look)
Rock Royalty l/s (Rock Royalty comes from the t-shirts that she and Stella McCartney wore to an event once)
Arwen lipglass

[greatscott2000]

mine would be inspired by Gwen Stefani!
Here it goes:

RichGirl EyeshadowQuad:
Silver dollar- Silver grey ( Frost)
Eve Blue- Bright Electric Marine blue( Matte)
Ahoy Matey!- Vinyl Black patent leather ( creme)
Land ho- Taupe muted neutral brown

Blush- Love- Bright Baby pink w/ gold flecks ( Shimmertone)
- Angel- Bright Red w/ gold flecks ( Shimmertone)

Lipstick- Cool- Red w/ earth brown undertones ( lustre)
- LAMB- Bright Pink with brown muted undertones ( lustre)
- Ex-Girlfriend- Pink w/ purple flecks ( frosted)

Lipglass -- LAMB- Bright Pink with brown muted undertones ( lustre)
- Hella good- Neutral Brown with Red undertone ( Matte)

You could also have a quad called L.A.M.B. - then each of the colours could be named "Love", "Angel", "Music", and "Baby," It's plain I know but it could work! Hehe

Thanks MAC Virgin. :-)

Indigowaters, you should definitely post your fantasy theme ideas anyway.

Pigment Junkie - trade MSFs with you? I like that you chose Prince as an icon. Your Purple Rain quad is comprised of my school colours. I'd definitely show some school spirit if MAC made that.

No. Yours was great! I was just talking about the theme. It's funny I was thinking of themes on the way home from work today.

[DOLLface]

They all sound soo amazing. I just might have to think one up.

[Katura]

This was such a good idea! I love them all!

I esp. LOVE the Xtina collection and Prince. I'd SOOO be all over those.
