Cast your makeup magic with MAC’s Hypnotizing Holiday Collection
Makeup brands always go all out during the holidays and this year, MAC’s is certainly one to look forward to. With gorgeous sets in hypnotic optical-illusion packaging, the Hypnotizing Holiday Collection dares you to “be your own masterful makeup MACgician!”
The limited-edition holiday gift sets and curated kits contain classic MAC products as well as new ones with shade-shifting effects and light-changing color. I’m definitely loving those cult favorites in a box (time for a restock because everything is sulit!) while the others make me feel a bit more adventurous – something to perk up the season as we slowly emerge from last year’s lockdowns. Let’s check out some of the sets for every makeup lover in your life!
A WINNING HAND
For long-time MAC product users, these kits filled with classic items are a perfect match. The Tricks of the Trade Kit (SRP P2,500) and the Mystic Mist Mini Fix+ Trio (SRP P1,575) both have the MAC Prep + Prime Fix+ (a classic go-to of mine!) as well as other primers that will help makeup stay in place.
The famous MAC lipstick shade Ruby Woo is included in the Kiss of Magic Lip Kit (SRP P2,450) and The Ultimate Trick Mini Lipstick x 12 Vault (SRP P5,500). Its vivid, blue-red color can be used to make teeth look whiter. The other shades in both sets are also gorgeous, and the Vault set even features different lipstick finishes.
FLASH & POP
For makeup enthusiasts who want to channel their holiday spirit via dazzling makeup, the kits featuring iridescent colors and products are just the thing to gift them. The Trick of the Light Mineralize Skinfinish Kit (SRP P2,600) is a warm gold highlighter with shimmer while the Hyper Real Glow Duo (SRP P1,950 each) is a compact highlighter with two radiant hues that blend together in a cream finish.
Part of the limited-edition holiday collection is the Hypnotizing Holiday Flash Drops Trio (SRP P2,000). It includes three liquid highlighters in iridescent multicolor, yellow gold, and rose gold shades that can be used on the face, body, and lips for an overall glow.
Solely for the lips, the Hypnotizing Holiday Lipglass (SRP P1,300 each) has five shades: Mocha Swirl Gold, Works Like a Charm, Frantic Romantic, Ruby Taboo, and Drank The Love. Each has a unique pearlescent finish like red and gold or green and pink to name a few, resulting in "a high-gloss glass-like finish or a subtle sheen".
EXTRA, EXTRA!
For people who enjoy gifts so packed and extra (don’t we all?), the Ace Your Face Look In A Box (SRP P3,500) is one gift option. It contains a set of MAC products for the eyes, lip, and cheek with a Red version or a Neutral version.
Another option is the Step Bright Up Extra Dimension Skinfinish Palette (SRP P2,600). This trio of highlighters come in Light or Medium/Deep shades, made to add glow to the face. Pearlescent particles present in both palettes leave a luminous finish said to last up to 10 hours, or at least until Christmas or New Year at midnight.
The Size of the Prize Eye Shadow x 25 (SRP P6,000) is the final choice for a really extra gift. It's an eyeshadow palette with a whopping 25 holiday-exclusive colors in a variety of finishes. There are showstopping colors like the bright pearlescent blue Cyan-ara with a frost finish and the rose gold Parlour Tricks with 3D effect, as well as enough neutrals to create a cohesive blended eye makeup.
