Cushion makeup is everywhere at the moment so no wonder MAC Matchmaster Shade Intelligence Compact is now available because hey, MAC is the go to for all things foundation apparently (although I beg to disagree because their foundations are either too beige or too yellow on me!).

MAC Matchmaster Shade Intelligence Compact ($36) does intrigue me though as it has a color adapting technology that gives your a complexion a “true-to-life” natural skin finish with sheer to medium coverage.

It’s available in 12 shade selections and comes housed in a chunky double lid compartment compact that features the mirror and sponge on the upper level and a flip up lid that houses the cushion.

Cushion makeup isn’t new by any means particularly if you’re a Korean beauty and makeup users as these have been around for the last two or so years. But it’s just now starting to pop up here in the US.

I’m looking forward to seeing how MAC does in the cushion world and see if their formula is as great as it sounds.

Now to find a good match…

Get the MAC Matchmaster Shade Intelligence Compact now at Nordstrom.com and soon on counters.

There’s still a chance to get the Charlotte Tilbury Bar of Gold Light-Reflecting Highlighter! I just stumbled all over myself to purchase one at Nordstrom.com.

This light reflecting highlighter that I don’t need can be used to add a radiant glow of gold on skin with a illuminating, soft focus finish that gives skin a candlelit glow.

Sweep it on your cheeks, décolletage, even on your cheek bones for an instant radiant glow!

Get it now at Nordstrom.com.

The Sephora + Pantone Universe Color of the Year 2016 Collection has arrived at Sephora.com and should be popping up shortly in stores. I’ve featured the entire collection in reviews and swatches last week but if you missed them here is a round up and recap!

Sephora + Pantone Universe Color of the Year 2016 Review & Swatches:

• Sephora + Pantone Universe Modern Watercolors Lip Gloss Set Review & Swatches
• Sephora + Pantone Color of the Year Layer Lipstick Review & Swatches
• Sephora + Pantone Modern Watercolors Eyes Palette Review & Swatches
• Sephora + Pantone Color of the Year Matte Lipstick Review & Swatches

I wish I could say I loved this collection but it happens to be one of the few Sephora Pantone Collections that just didn’t work for my skin tone. The colors are really pretty and very Spring-like! They quite remind me of Spring and Easter but they would work best on fairer skin tones plus I do question how many will be able to pull off the lip colors as they have a very strong white undertone likewise for the eyeshadow palette!

These colors seem like they would be better suited in a baby’s room as they are soft, delicate, soothing, and relaxing but on my face? Not working out sadly.

But I’m looking forward to reading reviews on the collection and seeing what youTube gurus create using shades like this.

How about you?

Is the Sephora + Pantone Color of the Year 2016 Collection filled with wearable shades for your skin tone or is it a bust for you like me?

Do share!
