MAC’s Haute Dogs Collection Is Barking Up The Right Tree

You can always rely on MAC Cosmetics to come across with something truly innovative and one thing’s for sure, they always get us talking. Haute Dogs is the latest collection from the beauty powerhouse and yes, it’s inspired by (Wo)man’s best friend but don’t let that put you off; every single piece here is drool-worthy (pun totally intended). Dogs can be just as glamorous as humans (think Crufts’ crimp-haired poodles and what have you) and what with dedicated canine festivals happening on this very Emerald Isle, they couldn’t be more on trend.

As MAC themselves describe, here they’re barking up the right tree in a well-groomed collection of new canine-inspired hues, featuring luscious buttery fur tones, gold-spun sculpting powders and regal berries for lips. You’ll be ‘lapping up the accolades as best in show’ in no time. Well played MAC, well played.

Odd as the collection may be named, what you’re getting here is very bridal appropriate, at least colour wise, and, of course, perfect to take you from day to night on any occasion.

Within the collection you’ll find:

Mineralize Rich Lipstick in five shades; Fashion Pack (pale pink nude), Rare Breed (mid-tone pinky nude), Barking Gorgeous (light peach), Nose For Style (deep claret red) and Labradorable (deep wine).

Mineralize Glass (lipgloss, essentially) in four shades; Lap Dog, pale light pink-nude, Sheer Coincidence (mid-tone rosy nude), Modest (soft beige with light frost) and Dressed To The K9s (deep burgundy-plum).

Lip Pencil in two shades: Currant (intense reddish purple) and Naked Liner (light neutral).

 

Mineralize Eye Shadow x 4 in three palettes: Pure Bred (plum, silver cream, tan-gold, deep brown), A Glimmer Of Gold (four coordinated colours from soft gold to copper bronze) Posh Pedigree (deep olive green, white lemon, dirty grey, charcoal greenish grey).

Fluidline in four shades: Blacktrack (solid flat black), Rich Ground (reddened cocoa with frost), Dark Diversion (blackened plum), Catch My Eye (cool taupe-grey with dazzle pearl).

Mineralize Skinfinish in two shades: Soft & Gentle (gilded peach-bronze), Cheeky Bronze (soft coral with golden shimmer).

Sculpting Powder/Shaping Powder in three shades: Lightsweep (warm beige with fine pearl), Warm Light (clean peach), Shadester (mid-tone leathery brown), Soft Focus (plantain yellow-gold).

Studio Nail Lacquer in three shades: Vintage Vamp (burgundy red), Snazzy Hound (mid-tone grey), Very Important Poodle (warm mid-tone nude).

With so much to choose from, you may need to brace yourself for the inevitability of wanting the entire collection. Woof woof!
