  • UPDATE: Apr. 8, 2010. The giveaway is closed. Congrats to the winner, DoDe! :)

It never hurts to be prepared … for the application of color! :) MAC’s new six-piece Prep for Colour collection is all about turning skin into a perfectly primed canvas for color, and it skips onto counters this Thursday, April 8.

With just three neutral eyeshadows, one bright fuchsia gloss, a skin brightening serum and a new sunscreen, the collection might not be as extensive or exciting as last week’s Art Supplies, but MAC still tossed some interesting stuff our way. And girls (and boys) who love everyday makeup and skincare products — that is, products you might like to wear every single day — are also in luck.

Which reminds me, are you ready for a giveaway?

The prize

One lucky lady will win three items from the MAC Prep For Colour collection: Eyeshadow in Sorcery (a reddish mid-tone brown), Eyeshadow in Hey (a warm mid-tone beige) and Prep + Prime Skin Brightening Serum. Total prize value: $69.

  15. Doni says:

    my favorite color is a reddish brown (Seinna) if you are talking about an eyeshadow. it is closest to my eye lid color and I can build it up to create a dramatic look or scale it back just to give myself a flush of color or using it for blending two colors into each other.

    oh! that’s easy- turquoise & orange. i can’t pick just one. my purse is even turquoise and orange. hahah. they look good together or by themselves. :)

  23. Saku says:

    Does silver count as a color? I would say silver, it looks nice against my skin tone. Plus I like anything that’s silver and futuristic.

  24. Aleia says:

    Blue, because it correlates to my birthstone and it is calming ;)

    My favorite color is red.
    Red is timeless, classic and sexy all at the same time.
    A good red lipstick makes anyone look beautiful and feel confident. Red can brighten up your face by adding a red-toned blush. Adding a red belt to a black dress is classy and stylish. All in all, red is the perfect addition to any look at any age at any time.

  27. Mel says:

    It is hard, but I’ll say purple because I just seem to be drawn to that color for a variety of things, such as clothes, nail polish, bed stuff, etc.

    Red, the color for passion, brightness, catches the attention.

  35. Teresa says:

    My favorite colour is blue, and the many variations of blue! (Turquoise, sky blue, sea blue, sooo many! ahhh) it is just so soothing and just crisp and beautiful!

    Purple is my favorite color-i like to think because it indicates roylaty, but seriously, I’ve just always been fascinated with the various shades of purple!

  40. Mary says:

    My favorite color is bright blue, basically cyan at 100% if you’re doing CMYK. It pops so well, whether it’s on a poster (I do graphic design as part of my job) or in jewelry.

    ugh… this is a tough one! Im going to say pink is my favorite color of all time but gold has been my fav for like the past 3 years!

    i guess red? i dont have a favorite color, or food, or movie, or place etc. im such an indecisive person, and it changes depending on the modd im in and color changes even more so because it all depends what you would use that color for, but red reminds me of passion and makes me feel sexy
