The official promo pics and production listing are busting downwardly our doors, my fellow wonder women. The express edition MAC Wonder Woman Collection is still en route (ETA February 10, 2011 in North American; internationally in March), but nosotros only received an emergency makeup cable from the super-heroine's invisible jet. It reads, "Starting time the mission without me, ladies! I'll exist at that place as soon equally I fend off the forces of anti-fabulousness that are attacking my jet!"

Since some of the upcoming products in the collection are repromoted items (like Lipstick in Russian Red, Glitter in Reflects Pearl and Penultimate Eye Liner in Rapidblack), I thought nosotros could take an early look at a few of them today.

When we run across these in the collection, they'll exist all decked out in limited edition crimson, yellow and blue packaging, but I expect the colors themselves to be the aforementioned.

MAC Russian Red Lipstick

One of my favorite old schoolers, this matte bluish red has a vintage '40s pinup feel that looks hotter than hot partnered with black cat center liner. I've been more than than a little obsessed with this color e'er since I constitute out that my other favorite wonder woman, Madonna, wore information technology on her Blonde Ambition Tour.

I used to wearable this color a LOT (I'grand a big Madge fan), and have figured out a few means to get the most out of this impressive matte.

Because matte lipsticks tend to be then thick, they can pinpoint imperfections on the lips, clinging to dry out flakes and settling into cracks — information technology's something my oh-then-eloquent 8th course self would have chosen, "hella gross."

That's why I do a lot of prep work whenever I plan to wear Russian Red (or any matte lipstick). The night before, I'll exfoliating my lips with an quondam toothbrush to remove whatsoever flakes. I like this homemade sugar scrub and Lush Sugar Plum Fairy ($v).

So, right before bed, I'll apply a thick layer of moisturizing lip balm and leave information technology on overnight. I really similar Philosophy's $10 Osculation Me Gloss.

The side by side morning, after washing my face, I'll use another layer of lip balm and let it soak in while I do my eye, cheek and face up makeup, saving the lips for final.

Immediately before applying my lipstick, I'll blot whatsoever excess lotion away with a tissue or by kissing the back of my hand (LOL!), and and then with a precise lip brush like the MAC 316 ($19.50), I'll do the deed.

MAC Penultimate Eye Liner in Rapidblack

I REALLY wish I could get MAC Penultimate Centre Liner in Rapidblack to work for me because information technology'south 1 of the longest wearing liners I've ever tried. I swear, when I apply this rich, black liquid liner early on in the morning, I tin sweat like a pig all day long in the summer while I rub at my eyes similar a fiend, and it'south all the same hanging tough at dinner. Amazing.

But (there's always a simply), the strong pen doesn't like my disqualified. I have a difficult time scooting the firm, almost rigid tip along my lash lines and find liners with flexible felt tips, like LORAC'due south Front end of the Line Pro ($22), easier to control.

MAC Glitter in Reflects Pearl

It'south only mission in life: FUN! This multipurpose white glitter contains just a fleck of pearly sheen. I like it, only, truthfully, I don't accomplish for it often. I think it's a tad too disco for my onetime @ss. Merely whenever I practice experience similar sparkling (it happens), I'll tap some onto the tops of my cheekbones with a MAC 224 Tapered Blending Brush ($29).
