MAC Cosmetics X Disney's Cinderella Makeup Collection | Review & Tutorial

 

Once upon a time... 
Just kidding !


Hey Makeup Lovers!

 How has your summer been treating you?
Mine has been jam packed with multiple weddings both local and destination.
These have left little time for blogging. But I have been finding some incredible makeup across the last couple of months that I can’t wait to it share with you!

Starting things off with MAC Cosmetics Disney's Cinderella Collection re-release.

You can watch my video review & tutorial here





REVIEW


In honor of MAC’s 40th anniversary (Congratulations, MAC!🥳) they have been bringing back some of their most iconic makeup launches. 
None more exciting, in my opinion, than their Disney Collections.

They brought back products from the Maleficent movie, the live-action Aladdin, and one of my favorites the 2015 live-action adaptation of Cinderella.


I honestly haven’t loved most of the live-action film adaptations of classic Disney movies (sorry, not sorry).
I’m a 90’s Disney kid and I have certain expectations for my Disney movies.😁

But I think the 2015 Cinderella stayed true to the original 1950s’s cartoon while giving enough extra background detail to be interesting.

So, I just had to get the Cinderella collection when it was re-released.
It sells out quickly on MAC’s website and it depends on which product you want.


MAC re-released three of the products from their Cinderella line:
 
Cinderella Stroke of Midnight Eyeshadow Palette
 
Cinderella Pigment Colour Powder in Pretty It Up
 
Lustreglass Lipstick in Royal Ball

 

 Each product is packaged in the beautiful Cinderella blue shade🩵




Cinderella Stroke of Midnight Eyeshadow Palette


Each product comes in a MAC 40th inspired box, an update on the original ones from 2015.
But, these ones still have the lovely Cinderella silhouette and embellishments.


The packaging around the palette is cardboard in a pretty baby blue shade with golden accents.
A very Cinderella-esque color scheme.


  The Stroke of Midnight eyeshadow palette has six shades.
The shades are very much in the taupe family of colors but ranging from deeper and lighter with varying finishes and effects.


Vapourize – Light Peach with violet blue sparkles and a shimmer finish.
(A close duplicate for this shade is MAC's Shroom)
 
Phloof! – Beige with a velvety frost finish.
(MAC’s Vex is a close dupe).
 
Omega – Light, Muted Brown with a matte finish.
Part of MAC’s permanent collection.
 
Quarry – A light mauve with a gray hint to it and a matte finish.
(the closest dupe from MAC is Scene, it's a bit deeper and leans more towards blue undertones).
 
Satin Taupe –  A deep taupe with silver shimmer and a lovely frost finish that borders on metallic.
Part of MAC's permanent collection. 
 
Stroke of Midnight – A Deep Violet with pink sparkles and a shimmer finish.
(A hard one to dupe. MAC's Greystone is a similar shade, but has a matte finish. MAC's Stary Night is similar in tone, but a bit lighter and has a duo chrome finish.)

ProsA variety of taupe shades that are universally flattering on all skin tones and eye colors.

Star Rating⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 out of 5)

Would I Re-PurchaseDefinitely.


Final Thoughts: Very blendable, long lasting, minimal fallout all included in the beautiful shade range of this palette makes it a dream (which is a wish your heart makes😉).



Cinderella Pigment Colour Powder in Pretty It Up


No Disney look would be complete without some fairy and/or pixie dust (just ask Tinkerbelle).
And Fairy Godmother MAC didn't leave us hanging. They brought back one of the loose pigment from their Cinderella collection.


The shade is "Pretty It Up". If you recall, that was one of Fairy Godmother's line in the movie.
If you haven't seen it yet, go watch it now, I'll wait.


Pretty It Up comes in a generous sized bottle with a pretty Cinderella blue lid.


The shade is a deep, bronze-y taupe with gorgeous golden sparkle.
You can use this on eyes (see my tutorial below) or dust it onto lips or top cheek bones for a bronzing effect.

ConsSince it is a loose pigment there is a little fallout, but it's pretty easy to clean up.


Star Rating⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 out of 5)

Would I Re-PurchaseYes

 

Final Thoughts: Stunning loose pigment that really adds that little extra something to your makeup look. Versatile and has rather good staying power. 



Lustreglass Lipstick in Royal Ball


This box had so many cool detail that I had to photograph it from every angle.


I was almost more amused by the package design than by the product😅




Hopefully this is building hype for the final product.


Traditional MAC bullet shaped lipstick tube, but with the lovely light blue and gold details that has encompassed the entire Cinderella collection.


Royal Ball is a charming light coral shade with a sheer lustre finish.

Star Rating⭐⭐⭐⭐⭑ (4 out of 5)

Would I Re-Purchase: Yes



Final Thoughts: Such a pretty shade, perfect for doing a natural makeup look. Comfortable to wear, with a light sheer finish.




Tutorial



Before the clock strikes midnight I have a tutorial for you using MAC's Cinderella Collection.
Hold on to your glass slippers because here we go. 🕛


You can also watch my tutorial here 





1. Omega + Blending Brush: Take the shade Omega on a crease brush and work it all the way around the crease of your eye.
Then use a blending brush to soften and diffuse the line of shadow.
No harsh lines in a Disney Princess look.




2. Satin Taupe and a Flat Brush: Saturate lids with the Satin Taupe shade on a flat brush. Cover lids completely and blend a little into Omega.




3. Phloof! on the Brow Bone: With the frosty shade Phloof! dust across your brow bone for a subtle highlight. 
Then use the blending brush from earlier to soften the transition from Phloof! into Omega.




4. Line Eyes with Stroke of Midnight: With an angled eyeshadow brush line top lashes with Stroke of Midnight.
On a flat liner brush line lower lash line with the same shade.
Leave lower water line blank or use a cream or skin tone liner. We want to create a wide-eyed effect, like a Disney Princess would have.





5. Vapourize + Small Eyeshadow Brush: Take the shade Vapourize on a small brush and dust it along the inner corners of your eyes.
This will also help give a wide-awake look.




6. Pretty It Up Pigment + Mascara + Contour & Highlight: With a fluffy brush lightly tap some of the loose pigment in Pretty It Up onto the center of your lids for some extra sparkle.

I received a sample of MAC's MACstack Micro Brush mascara with my Cinderella order, so I used it to put two or three coats on my top lashes. 
Add about one coat to your lower lashes, but don't go crazy, we want them to still look natural.

I used a light brown matte contour shade and ran it under my cheek bones and blended it out quite a bit. Again, no harsh lines for a Disney Princess look.
I then dusted a pearly off-white highlighter on the tops of my cheek bones and temples for little more glow.




7. Liquid Blush & Royal Ball Lipstick: Next I dabbed a pretty pink liquid blush onto the apples of my cheeks and blended it in with my fingertips. You need a nice flush if you're doing Disney Princess makeup.
Finally, I swiped Royal Ball lipstick onto my lips.

 Add all these steps together and Bibbidi bobbidi boo, we will get...







Our finished MAC Disney's Cinderella Collection makeup look!
From eyes to lips these shades are a fairytale come true!


You can create an entire eye look just using the Stroke of Midnight palette.
The darker shadows are so pigmented, they make great liners.


The Lustreglass lipstick is so pretty. It really brings out the natural shade of your lips with a light coral wash of color.


The loose pigment on the center lids gives eyes that little bit of extra sparkle.
