I NEED MORE EYES!
And cheeks and lips.
LOL! Maybe then I wouldn’t look so cray-cray.
Because I couldn’t wait to try on the gorgeous new MAC Magnetic Nude collection (coming out December 26), I’m wearing two different eye looks at the moment, my cheeks don’t match, and my lip color is split down the middle.
I look like the Joker’s evil sister. 🙂
And that’s why I didn’t make an appearance in this video.
Here’s a tabletop look at the new Magnetic Nude collection (and a super quick look at the new Huggable Lipcolours and two new MAC False Lashes).
Also, if you happen to be YouTube averse, or if they block it at the office, here are some pics…
10,000-Foot Overview of the MAC Magnetic Nude Collection
- 26 pieces, limited edition

- Lots of metallics and nudes, also a strong rose gold vibe

Agata says
This collection is soo perfect. It’s Physical immediately caught my eye but I definitely see more goodies to pick from. Cannot wait for your further reviews.
Karen says
Hi Agata,
This collection is SO YOU! You can wear it with your Naked3 palette. 😀
angie says
LOVE LOVE LOVE NUDES!!!! i’m excited for this!!!
CKG says
Oh, boy. Why am I even looking at Sensual Sparks. Not another nude lol
Will you be swatching the Huggable Lipcolour collection as well?
Karen says
Yes! I couldn’t get to it today because I had some deadlines, but definitely in the next couple of days.
CKG says
!
I’m not excited. Nope. I’m not even rubbing my hands together gleefully, no ma’am lol
fancie says
Thank you for posting these swatches! I couldn’t wait to see some good ones of the MSFs! I thought I wanted all 3 but I think I’m going to stick with Magnetic Appeal and maybe get Pleasure Model and Autoerotique since my bf will be buying lol
Monika says
AHHHH YESSSS!!!!! Thank you for swatches! I have been pumped about this collection for MONTHS. Ugh, I’m so stoked to see everything in person and get a million products. Thanks, Karen! You’re the best!
Chaitra says
Love the Pinky Autoerotique blush ! Also love the embossed texture 🙂 Super thrilling collection!
Natalie says
This collection looks awesome! I want to get superb and one of the nude lipsticks.
CKG says
I’m liking some of those Huggables. That orangey one (Cherry Glaze?) especially. MAC is like the makeup mafia to me, just when I think I’m out, it pulls me back in!
Karen says
This totally made me laugh, CKG! MAC is the most powerful of the five families…you can’t leave.
CKG says
Truly. I started looking at some high-end brands (BTW I ordered TF’s Sable Smoke as part of my first high-end haul) and kept being turned off or simply not impressed (eg a sheer lipstick for $35.US, really?) and found myself going back to MAC swatches!
Casey says
this is cosmetic porn! i need five of everything.
Alexandra says
Gorgeous collection. What are the fluid lines like in blendability? They look like they would make nice eyeshadow bases.
Karen says
Hi Alexandra,
I’ve had good luck with the Fluidlines as bases as long as I blend out the edges immediately. They dry pretty fast! Which one do you like?
Cindy says
Wow. I love all those colors!!! They are so beautiful and metallic!!! Can’t wait until the line comes out Dec 26!!
Nik says
Appreciate the video, youre so cute! XD I’m getting a few things for sure, Christmas presents for myself!
Karen says
Thanks, Nik. 🙂 I’m still a hot mess on camera, but hopefully it’ll get easier.
Happy holidays!
Ivy says
AHHHHHHH the blushes are so beautiful! <3
Karen says
Hi Ivy,
I know! To die for!
Chris25 says
Even though I don’t love MAC, my desire for Superb hasn’t died away. I’m thinking of ordering it.
Karen says
Do it girl!
Chelsea says
You can tell how excited you are! Love the video!
The Fluidline in It’s Physical is calling my name! I don’t actually own any fluidlines, but the brown with the purple shimmer is just fab.
Karen says
Hey Chelsea,
Totally off topic, but I thought of you the other day when I saw this adorable bunny jewelry holder at Urban Outfitters. I think QB would approve. 😀 How was your weekend?
Chelsea says
I was actually at UO today and saw it! He definitely approves! I didn’t pick that up, but I got a book for my parents called “I could pee on this and other poems by cats.” I’d already purchased “I could chew on this and other poems by dogs,” so it’ll be a great pair for Christmas! I’ve done barely any shopping because of exams and being broke, gotta get going on that…
It was a pretty good weekend, but extremely snowy! We were supposed to go up north for my mom’s graduation from her grad program, but snow kept that from happening. At least there was a digital live feed, so I got to watch anyway!
I think we got 6-8 inches over the weekend – buh! I don’t like it!
hanna says
This collection is beautiful.
Lulle says
Hellbound is amazing and I need at least that one. I also really like the skinfinishes and some of the shadows!
Karen says
Hi Lulle,
AH-MAY-ZING. Which of the eyeshadows are you likin’ so far?
Bree says
I LOVE this collection! My favorites are close contact, morning rose, oh my darling, it’s physical, our secret, superb, & fairly precious!
The MSFs are my must haves!!!!
Karen says
Hey Bree,
I just started digging into this one, but gah! — I’m totally feeling it too. So many beautiful colors and finishes. 🙂
Happy holidays!
Sylirael says
I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with frosty, metallic finishes (I feel like it’s so easy to go wrong T__T) but there are so many things here that are so pretty…so shiny… *drools*
MARYA AMANULLAH says
I was wondering the same thing. When I saw these fluid lines, it made me think of sigmas eyeshadow bases. Can we use these as ES Bases?
Heidi says
This is the first MAC collection to get my attention in quite some time. I’m a sucker for metallics.
Jen says
Already making my list! I love love love MAC’s after-Christmas release. It always seems to be trendy neutrals that are easy to wear. This release is no exception. I can’t do purple lipstick, but I can wear practically everything in this entire collection!
Lisa C says
Oh crap, this is going to put a deep deep gash in my wallet! Waaaayyy too many goodies here!!
Rachel P. says
Ahhhh.maaaaazing. I love the At Dusk and Autoerotique blushes, and the Oh My Darling lipglass! So so so pretty.
Suzanne says
I want it ALL!
Anita says
Hi Karen, thx for the video and swatches!
Natalie says
This looks gooood! Be still my quaking wallet!
Lena says
maybe i’m all burned out from the various black fridays, but this collection does not excite me. except maybe pleasure model. meh.
Martha Nelson says
Thanks Karen!
Kim says
Oh, I immediately thought “rose gold” when I saw the pics. My second thought was “Karen is going to lose her mind over this!”. HAHA! Can’t wait to see some of your FOTDs – I’m sure they are going to be awesome. 🙂
Eugenia says
You.Just.Killed.Me.
No, but seriously. I want [almost] everything I see here…oh, my poor, poor credit card – and after all the spending I’ve already done for Christmas. Sigh…..
Kiss & Make-up says
I’m hoping to get my hands on this collection soon! I’m drooling all over my keyboard here.
Amanda says
I love that nudes are making a comeback (maybe they never left, but it seems that way to me). This collection looks *waaaaay more* delicious than Bobbi Brown’s.
FreshEyre says
Wow – these are just beautiful !!! I’ve always loved metallics and rose gold shades so it’s just perfect…
Wondering, though, if it’s possible to overdo it with the colors ? Maybe dark liner and a red or plum lip will break it up ? I already have a rose gold watch, earrings, necklace, and a new Rebecca Minkoff tote/purse (also metallic rose gold !) so I think after this collection I’m going to be all done buying so it doesn’t get to be ridiculous or in the “too much !” category.
Any advice is appreciated, as always 🙂
Trisha says
I just want to play with everything…
Alexis says
Thanks for the video and swatches! I can see this collection getting me in a whole lot of trouble. I’m really digging the cooler toned shadows, light pink blush, and a couple other items. I’ll just have to try to catch it when it goes online because I’m a week overdue with my pregnancy so there’s no way I’ll be going to a counter for swatches!
Jane says
I just went to the MAC store today and impulsively bought Amorous Alloy and the two darker fluidlines. Then I came here because I knew you’d have all the swatches lol! Now I want the blush in Autoerotique and the lipstick in Morning Rose!!
I think you got the names on the eyeshadow swatches mixed up. Isn’t amorous alloy the last shade?
