The new MAC x Steve J. & Yoni P. collection, coming June 1st
Doesn’t Steve J. & Yoni P. noise like the name of a singer-songwriter duo? Like, you’d turn on the radio to Alice@93.7 as well as hear a guitar ? as well as a mournful tambourine in a tune about discovering long lost millennial like on Tinder?
LOL! No, they aren’t a musical group. They’re really Korean fashion designers, as well as even though my concept of cutting edge fashion is a new pair of black leggings, I believe the packaging for the new restricted edition MAC x Steve J. & Yoni P. collection states a great deal about their sense of style.

So adorable as well as fun!
It tells me that they most likely like yellow as well as pale pink! as well as it likewise makes me question who the cartoony woman with red lips as well as Cleopatra-style eye makeup is.
I like the style. It’s stylish as well as fun as well as doesn’t take itself as well seriously.
The collection, which comes out June 1st as well as will be offered anywhere MAC is sold, includes four lipsticks, two powder blushes, a potted eye gloss, a black mascara, two powder eyeshadow duos, a six-pan lip as well as cheek cream palette, a makeup bag as well as two brushes.

MAC Lip & Cheek combination X 6/ Yoni Attraction, $40
Oh, as well as you understand exactly how MAC’s LE stuff with special packaging commonly costs a lot more than their long-term collection products? Not the situation here, since the lipsticks, blushes as well as mascara in the introduce are the exact same costs as MAC’s perm products.
My preferred product in the collection
Even though its name seems like a frightening Netflix documentary about serial killers, I truly like Matte Lipstick in A killing Smile ($17).
Lipsticks from the left: Amplified Creme Lipstick in spotlight Me, Matte Lipstick in candy Yum Yum, Matte Lipstick in A killing Smile as well as Amplified Creme Lipstick in Yoni Crush, $17 each
It’s a bright pinkish red matte ? that looks nearly vintage, like something Revlon would’ve done back in the day. When I wear it, I feel like a ’50s starlet on the red carpet.

Thanks to a freckle on my upper lip, I can tell when a lipstick is full coverage. If the lipstick conceals the freckle, that’s exactly how I can tell, as well as A killing Smile does.
Glamorous however not garish, it’s a bright matte, yes, however it isn’t drying, as well as it doesn’t catch on any type of lip flakes or dry spots.

There are three other lipsticks in the collection, too. There’s candy Yum Yum, which you can get in the long-term line any type of old time, however this version seems a bit drier…and the other two colors are nude peach spotlight Me as well as orange-red Yoni Crush. Both have MAC’s Amplified Creme formula, which isn’t the exact same as the routine MAC Amplified formula.
MAC Amplified vs. MAC Amplified Creme
MAC has lots of different lipstick formulas as well as finishes, with two of the most pigmented ones being the Mattes as well as Amplifieds. The Amplifieds are full coverage, just like the Mattes, however they have a satiny surface with a hint of shine.
Like the Mattes as well as Amplifieds, the Amplified Cremes are likewise pigmented, however instead of a satin finish, they have an even shinier surface as well as a somewhat thinner consistency, so they tend to migrate beyond your natural lip line if you rub your lips together a great deal (which I do).
Anyway! just some MAC lipstick fun facts.
I believe the peachy nude applies a bit patchy, however the orange-red is smooth as well as opaque.
MAC studio Eye Gloss, $22
I was looking ahead to the $22 studio Eye Gloss since I like a glossy eye, as well as this has white pearl, which I believed might look incredibly cool, however I can’t see the pearl, as well as I truly desired to. I kept putting a lot more as well as a lot more on my lids to get it show up, however it just got as well goopy at a point. It makes my lids feel heavy, as well as whenever I blink my eyes open at half speed. It’s not my fave.
Midnight Fever is lovely
Of the two eyeshadow duos — as well as I can’t believe I’m stating this, since the one with the brown has Soba in it, which is one of my preferred MAC browns of all time — I like the glittery one more.

The glittery duo, $22 Eye shadow X 2 in Midnight Fever, has two Dazzleshadows — a purple as well as a gray — as well as small, dainty shine that shines beautifully. as well as yay! — theshine doesn’t irritate my eyes.

The Dazzleshadows are pressed glitters that are available in a sheer base, however these two have a lot more pigmented bases than usual, which you may believe would make them harder to blend out, especially since they’re dark colors, however that hasn’t been the situation for me.
I haven’t had any type of difficulty easing out the edges, however the shine does get around if you blend as well aggressively.
If you want to talk a lot more about exactly how to do the Dazzleshadows, ask me in the comments.
Some thoughts on the rest of the collection
MAC Eye shadow X 2 in touch Me infant ($22) — otherwise understood as “The duo with Soba as well as the sparkly pink shadow!” The Soba in this duo is type of weird… It’s shinier, a lot more gray as well as less gold than the Soba in the long-term line, as well as it makes me hope that the long-term Soba hasn’t been reformulated, since that would break my ? heart.

Zoom Lash Mascara in Zoom Black ($18) — This is a relatively fundamental black great for separation as well as curl. less so for volume.
The Powder Blushes in Peony Petal, as well as Sugar or Syrup ($23 each) — between bluish pink Peony Petal as well as yellowish pink Sugar or Syrup, Peony Petal is the harder one to work with. rather literally, it’s harder, since the pan feels harder than normal for a MAC blush. It’s likewise harder to blend than Sugar or Syrup, which feels softer in the pan.
That’s the MAC studio Eye Gloss on my lids
Lip & Cheek combination X 6/Yoni Attraction ($40) — These six creams work much better for me as lip products than cream blushes since they break up nearly promptly on top of foundation.

The makeup bag as well as brushes — The $35 makeup bag is deep (about 3.5 inches), which makes it rather useful. It has great deals of room. as for the 159 cheek clean ($35) as well as 217 duo blending clean ($25), both of them have rigid bristles as well as a different shape than the full-size versions in the long-term line. These clean heads are thinner, flatter as well as less dense.
