Create Your Own Color Story...

[Hawkeye]

Yes, I forgot that Mac Pixie did something similar! Oops. :/ I hope she doesn't mind! She's a sweetie so hopefully she won't.

Ahh the Uhura Face Palette! Hmm that name will be difficult to come up with how about this: And it will be in the shape of a Communicator!

Contact Starfleet Command Lt.....


United States of Africa-a soft pale flesh colored brown (That's where Uhura is from folks-not trying to be cute)
Chief Communications Officer-A deep blackened brown (for brows and liner!)
Freedom-A nudish white
Tunic-A baby Pink
Girlie (whatever color that is on the mac site LOL)

Swahili blush- a peachy color with a pink enterprise on it.
Coygirl Blush - (Whatever color that is on the site)

Lips:
Cap't-I'm picking up a signal- A YLBB Lipstick
Interacial Kiss (She and bill shatner did the first one on prime time! GO NICHELLE!) a pinked brown creame
Bridge to Capt Kirk: A shimmery white lipgloss
Nichelle Nicholes: A beautiful brown taupe bronze color

Now some interesting history on Mrs. Nicholes-a lot of people were giving her flack for being black on the show (along with Mr. Sulu and Scotty) and she wanted to quit. But before she could she got a phone call from the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King telling her he enjoyed the show and she was doing a lot of good work. Boy was he right! She broke down barriers left and right!

My color story just happened to be based on the layout of an Icon collection, similar to the Diana, Liza, and Catherine collections. Nobody's comparing younger celebrities to these women. I couldn't even put them in the same category, but it was MY personal idea to eventually see someone like Christina Aguilera or Mary J Blige used as an icon. I would hardly call either of them a "Flash In The Pan" or a "no Impact whatsoever" icon. But, since all of the icons thus far have been older, more mature women, it would be nice to see one a little bit younger. The older women come from different generations, different looks were popular, different products were available. It would be nice to see a collection based on a more modern person. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the previous Icon collections. And there's also absolutely nothing wrong with us being creative and coming up with ideas that we would enjoy seeing from our favorite cosmetic line sometime in the future. We're not deliberately trying to insult the previous icon, hell I didn't think there would be so many hypothetical Icon Color Story ideas, I was just thinking of general collections, like Lure/Bait/Hooked, Culturebloom, A different Holiday Collection perhaps. But you're definitely being closed minded by saying that you loathe the view of the youth or whatever it was you said about it, but at the same time hypocritically expecting us to be open minded by wanting all the Icons to be more mature figures.
And it's not the first time you've caused a stir in a color story thread, i recall you and Alan going back and forth over whether Sweetie Cake was a prom collection or not, and according to you, it's not a prom collection because only 16-18 year old girls go to prom and MAC is "All Ages, All Races, All Sexes." We know what MAC stands for, you don't have to keep declaring their viewpoint to get your point across. But you're definitely showing us your age and how uncomfortable you might be with it by coming into threads and slamming ALL AGES in members' faces. This was just meant for people to let their creativity shine. If you want an older Icon, then pick one and participate in the thread by posting your ideas. I'm sure people would respect it and not step on your creativity like you're doing right now.

You couldn't have said it any better than this! Twenty or thirty years from now no one knows for sure if Christina Aguliera, Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton, et cetera will still be considered as "Flashes in the Pan" or what have you.

Personally, I believe, that one shouldn't attack others based on their opinions just because you don't agree with those said opinions. The original poster of that reply, I felt, went about expressing her viewpoints in a very negative and condescending way. Next time, instead of trying to be all "holier than thou", try to be understanding of others.

i LOVE this!!!!!!!!



This, of course, brings to mind a Heavy Metal themed collection once your new finish is launched.

Hi, all.
I love the idea of this thread, and I love the wonderful suggestions! I know this isn't only about imagining an Icon, but I'd love to see that Lucille Ball line!

I'd also love to see something blatantly inspired by various cultures.It would be a One Big World collection.

Of course, the highlight (pardon the intentional pun if you're offended) would be an earth-inspired MSF.

I'd really love to see a Quad that was inspired by the colors of places like India and Moroco and another with some gorgeous African-inspired colors!

Since this is my theme, I declare that it should have a little of everything... I often can't wear some of the colors in some of the collections because I'm so damn pale, and I know there are collections that aren't suited for darker skins, so I'd love to see a variety!

Right on line with the threads above, without feeding into "the drama", I can say I envision such a lovely ad campaign for this with models of all ages, colors, looks!

If I feel inspired later, maybe I'll flesh this out with a more detailed "plan" like so many of you have done, instead of just posting my happy hippy concept.

PS: MAC spies, please contact me here or through MUA (same screename) with your job offer!

youbeabitch, you are the cutest EVER!! That is the most awesome theme and product names and everything ahhahahaa!!! I love the Bestsey Johnson and Irish themes too!

My MAC theme would be a Bettie Page Icon Tribute.

"My land! Is that supposed to be me?" asked Page at age 82, surveying a painting of her reclining in a negligee with an ecstatic smile on her face. She muttered, "I was never that pretty. And I don't know what they mean by an icon. I never thought of myself as being that. It seems strange to me. I was just modeling, thinking of as many different poses as possible."

The packaging could be patent leather, shiny black plastic and "Jungle Bettie" leopard print.

Lips:

Lipsticks:
Retro Icon: Matte true red
Girlie Mag: Semi-matte deep-dark red-purple.
1955: Frosted golden-beige.
Naughty or Nice: Slick peachy-pink.

Lipglosses:

Classy- Matte golden-brown.
Mystique: Black with purple sparkle.

Eyeshadow Quads

Wink and Flirt: Soft matte vanilla with a hint of gold shimmer.

AAAhh, I love it!!! youbeabitch I LOVE YOUR STAR STREK theme. I would like buy very single item on your collection list

Fyi while I was reading your list, I started humming The Battle Song

Hmm, I think for me, I would really like to see a superhero theme - like a series of really hot female superheroes. Like Catwoman, WonderWoman, Batgirl, Storm, Rogue, Poison Ivy, even She-ra. Each superheroine would have her own line with matching emblems I think that would be super cool
