If this lippie is part of the collection, I'll be picking it up!Was flicking through google to find a certain pic of Lorde wearing purple lipstick at the Grammys...... What colour purple is this???? And would this shade be in her collection???? Photo from dailymail.co.uk
Judging by her makeup looks in the past, I wouldn't mind.
That looks like illamasqua's Kontrol...The purple lippy?
She wears lots of custom blends, like heroine with nightmoth liner. Looking forward to details!The purple lippy?
what was the situation?
so Nars did a collection this last dec that was inspired by Guy Bourdin who apparently is his muse and inspiration. Now from what i understand, Guy was abusive to women period. His art had some photographs of fashion, but wit women looking beat up? and i have been told that Guy was also very abusive to the women in his life, and drove one to suicide?? This is jus what i have heard from others. On Ts blog she had to address the issue and chose not to review the items. she swatched them but no reviews. I think that was what you were asking about?? Then the Rodarte thing was a mac collab that pissed everyone off cuz it was inspired by Juarez, where murder is a everyday occurrence.
I didn't know he was actually abusive to women...
That is what i have heard from other ppl. Now i have not personally looked into Guys story other than seeing his art. which im not pro violence at all. But i would have gotten items from that collection still being that i loved the colors in it. and yeah Rodarte did get a lot of attention and ppl were talking about Jaurez
I don't know about nars but the mac one was not to bring awareness. It was a bad judgement call. Juarez is not only a murder capital (or was) of Mexico but where young women (like 13-20) were raped and murdered all the time. So to come out with ghostly models and a bloody looking eyeshadow was just ridiculous. And then to offer donating proceeds after the fact just shows how inappropriate it was. Maybe it was just the designers and not mac but still bad call. They should have at least used different names and beautiful Mexican woman not that zombie bullshit lol. I do think it was blown out of proportion though! Mac just could not win!
He was abusive to both women in his personal life and women at photo shoots. He drove two of his former lovers/wives to suicide and one to attempt it. He had a lot of issues with women and choose models that reminded him of his mom. He once said that he didn't care if his models died if he got the shot. Some people think he was a genius, others a monster. I personally did not buy from the collection and haven't bought from NARS since. Which sucks because they put out beautiful makeup. It's like Shontay said, some things that you find offensive don't bother others, but you can count that everything pushes someone's buttons. I do not think anything about others who bought the collection. If you like it, buy it. But I do find the people who support Guy Bourdin to be confusing. But I will never say anything bad to them; maybe ask them why.
That guy (no pun intended) was such a mess, ugh. I didn't bother with that collection but I don't buy much from Nars in the first place. The Guy Bourdin supporters are messy too. I guess art is truly subjective. :/
OH! Terry Richardson!! No. I feel the same way. I would never buy from MAC again!The MAC x Rodarte thing was such a mess! I remember when it was discussed at a gothic lolita forum that I used to go and the comments got out of proportion. Most agreed that it was disrespectful to the women from Juarez and Mexico and wouldn't support such a thing, others would buy select items and reserve judgement/neutral, while very few didn't seem to mind the names. TBH, I like the colors (color fiend here) and would love a collection with the exact color scheme, but the inspiration behind it was terrible and of poor taste. The names were and are still really tacky and awful. I remember a friend if mine and I being really excited for the blush, BP, MES (even the one with red), and the lipglosses until we kept reading the color story and saw Juarez and we were like "Why the heck would you name a pink nail polish Juarez?!" because Juarez = violence/drugs/murder/kidnapping which was a no brainer for us due to the media and the ongoing violence in Mexico and the borders. We talked about in a marketing class and it turned out into a huge debate about politics, ethics, and marketing fails. Despite liking the colors and some of the items, I'm glad that people got MAC and Rodarte to shut that collection down. I still wish for MAC to release a collection with exact or similar colors though and without those awful names, but who knows. However, if MAC does a collection with Terry Richardson or with some other skeeze ball, that would make me stop buying from MAC permanently no matter what.

I agree with you about the collection to be more like Hayley Williams, I loved that one!
The Hayley collection was great. The color, the theme, everything. I don't really like Paramore (not my band), but wow. The collection was on point. I will buy a collection even if I'm not into the spokesperson for fab colors.now i think about it the hayley collection, though small, was a nice edit and i was happy with everything in it
i hope this lorde one will be similar, i'd be pleasantly surprised if it had more items than the hayley one
OMG. You . Are. So. Not. Jem is truly outrageuous! Dating myself. I know.
