I was chomping at the bit to try MAC Stereo Rose Mineralize Skinfinish today but told myself I had to finish all of my chores first (gah! laundry). Now that I’ve gotten some quality face time with it, all I can say is WOOT! I can see why MAC mavens have been lusting after this shimmery coral blush.
For this look I paired Stereo Rose with icy blue/peachy pink eyes and a peachy pink pout. I got the idea for the eyes from this face chart (the one for On the Scene), one of six MAC made for In the Groove.
Looking kinda senior portait-y, ha ha!
Clockwise from lower left: Blue My Mind Mineralize Eye Shadow Trio, In the Groove Mineralize Eye Shadow Trio, Stereo Rose Mineralize Skinfnish, You’ve Got It Cremesheen Glass, On the Scene Cremesheen Glass, Jazzed Cremesheen Lipstick
I didn’t use everything MAC mentions in the face chart, but the color products are all from In the Groove. That’s the Blue My Mind and In the Groove Mineralize Eye Shadow Trios on my eyes ($19.50 each) and Jazzed Cremesheen Lipstick ($14), with a mix of You’ve Got It and On the Scene Creamsheens Glasses ($18 each) on my lips.
I like how it turned out, but I wish I had somewhere fun to wear it tonight. El Hub, I’m talkin’ to you, buddy! 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

Maygan says
July 9th, 2010 at 9:08 pmI cant figure out why everyones going nuts for Strereo Rose. Its pretty but theres been other things similar. I made the mistake of posting on my blog we had tons and the phones were ringing off the hook with people from all over the US calling. We even sold the tester to one girl 🙂 Anyone know what started this crazyness?

July 9th, 2010 at 9:25 pmStereo Rose looks gorgeous on you but its way too dark and orange for me. I did pick up Petticoat 😀 Can’t wait to play with it

July 9th, 2010 at 11:20 pmI think the icy blue under the eyes has the potential to make eyes look tired, but the closeup is stunning! Love the last pic.
I am a little baffled by this Stereo Rose thing. I wish I could try it so I could see if I turn into a unicorn or what.
