Feb 20, 2012 - As soon as I saw the MAC for Daphne Guinness collection, I just knew we had to write about it on Sassy. Not only is Guinness, like recent MAC. Daphne Guinness MAC Art Basel Miami Laure Heriard Dubreuil Givenchy John Dempsey China Chow. Laure Heriard Dubreuil in Givenchy with John Dempsey and China Chow in Balenciaga. Daphne Guinness is best known for her fashion and art collaborations and MAC has truly represented her well in both color and design with this December 26th release. There are so many beautiful hues in this collection that it might take a bit more time than usual to read the collection list!

MAC has so many new collections on counter right now, it’s making my head spin. I think the two most highly anticipated are the socialite/fashion-icon collaborations: one with Daphne Guinness and one with Iris Apfel. (born 1967) is perhaps the world’s best known living heiress.

She is famously fond of fashion, friend of the late Isabella Blow and the late Alexander McQueen. She is also muse to Francois Nars (she has been the face of several recent campaigns, and Mr. Nars created an eyeshadow that bears her name). Guinness’s MAC collection includes an eyeshadow palette (Interior Life, $38), which is cool and pretty, but on the chalky side. Stratus (Matte) is a ghostly marshmallow-pastel-pink.

Bruised Sky (Satin) is a dusty purple, deeper and more proper-purple than. Interior Life (Veluxe) is a smoky, blued, industrial-grey satin with pretty good pigment. Heather Belles (Satin, ) is a chalky, sheer, near-black satin. There are also three loose pigments ($20). Circa Plum is a repromote (from the and ). It’s a bruisey, red-purple shimmer/frost.

Aurora is a shimmer/frost muted silver-rose-brown. Nebula is my favorite, a satin-with-tiny-sparkles cool, earth-brown taupe. This collection repromotes two permanent Powerpoint eyeliners (water-resistant, non-mechanical pencils, $15). Engraved is black. Grey Utility is blue-grey. It also repromotes two permanent Brow Pencils (mechanical, $15): ash-golden Fling and java-dark-brown Stud.

One major source of excitement over this collection is the limited reintroduction of two of the Blush Ombres from 2010′s collection. These “dip-dyed” blushes feature one color at the top of the pan, fading into a second color at the bottom. Since I did top/bottom/mixed swatches for Spring Forecast, I gave you light and heavy swatches this time. Azalea Blossom is a cool pink with just a very few tiny sparkles (so it’s not completely matte).

Vintage Grape is a red-violet. Both blushes are $26. There are four limited edition Pro Longwear Lipsticks ($17). Seasoned Plum is artificial-grape.

Approaching Storm is a rum-raisin, browned, bricky red. Red Dwarf is cool rose. Warp Speed is a sheer white frost. There are also three limited nail polishes ($15). Endless Night (what a funny name for a light-colored polish. It’s not at all like ) is a greyed beige-pink with pearly pink shimmer. When I swatched it, I thought of, but the two colors are not actually very similar.

Hyperion is a polar ice blue creme. Blueblood is a very dark red-purple-brown. I’m dying to compare it to Tom Ford’s infamous Bitter Bitch.

Last but not least, there are four limited edition Cremesheen Glass lipglosses ($18.50). Borealis is a very sheer blue-grey with tiny, invisible orange-rainbow shimmers (I didn’t even notice them ’til I got outside). This color instantly made me think of.

Japanese Spring is a pale, cool, cotton candy pink. Narcissus is a vibrant royal-orchid pink-purple. Richly Revered is a rum-raisin red-rose-brown.

Dying to hear what you think. Any of your who love lipglosses AND defined lips should check out the pale silver Warp Speed lipstick. The color is neutral, not metallic or grey, so it wont look futuristic. This lipstick with one of the several new Pro Longwear Lip Pencils in any of the nude tones should make an AWESOME base to compliment any gloss on top, plus wear a VERY long time underneath, so all you have to do is reapply gloss. I love the way this looks. Example: Warp Speed with Etcetera liner with Richer Lusher Cremesheen Glass on top for sexy, full peachy ‘J-Lo’ lip combo.

The fashion or style icon is a special type of fashion insider, someone who is far more than an early adopter or celebrity clothes horse. The fashion icon not only inspires fashion designers and validates their clothes, but actually creates a look that affects the way other people dress and/or think about dressing. Michelle Obama, Kate Moss, Sarah Jessica Parker, Lady Gaga, Rachel Zoe, Alexa Chung, Carine Roitfeld, and Daphne Guinness are often described as fashion or style icons. When historical figures are included, Jacqueline Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Edie Sedgwick, and Gabrielle Coco Chanel are frequently mentioned.
