Tokyo scenesters, Seoul trendies, Shanghai’s brand-conscious sophisto-chicks, all are contributing to make Asia a haute-pot that stylishly sizzles. To add to the frenzy: M·A·C’s new collection Sheen Supreme, a sweet and spicy palette of twelve cream-or-frost-finished shades that speaks to the region’s colour preferences in the fusion of Lipglass’ high-shine finish with the saturated colour of a Lipstick. Colour-customized, culturally tuned.

Truth & Light Sheer shimmer that reflects silver and pink (Repromote)

Honey Rose Sheer rosy beige with multidimensional shimmer

Cajun Sheer bronze shimmer with reflects gold (Repromote)

All powders will join MAC’s permanent line on May 5th. Truth & Light and Cajun are repromotes from Venemous Villains. I purchased Cajun when it was first released and I love this product. It does feel like a cool liquid when you first apply it and instantly feels like a loose powder . I personally like to use this as a countour and then slightly blend out for bronze look. They are releasing these and suggesting you use the 187 brush, but I use my 138 for contouring.

I suggest you definitely check these powders out, especially now that the hot Summer months are almost here!
