MAC Neon Makeup Collection 2008

Bright neon makeup and accessories are in this season, proving that you can be daring beyond just flashy nail polish this summer. MAC is really setting this trend, being among the first of mainstream makeup lines to debut neon- and bright-colored eyeshadows, blush, nail polish, and even their new Softsac clutches. The Softsacs come in small, medium, and large sizes, making them fitting for uses including: a fashionable coin purse, an on-the-go summer makeup bag, or a fun colored clutch to tote your beach or nightlife essentials.

Below are some of my fave picks from MAC’s summer neon-colored makeup and accessories:

1. MAC Softsacs

These bright, shiny neon sacks would be a perfect accessory to add to any girl’s summer wardrobe. My favorite neons are yellow, orange, and blue so it is tempting to buy one in every size.

2. MAC Naughty Nauticals Eyeshadow in Submarine

I love using funky blue eyeshadows in my smoky eye looks, so I can’t wait to get my hands on Submarine Naughty Nauticals eyeshadow. I’d pair it with one of my fave Lancôme shadows – Statuesque for a matte black smoke or The New Black for glittery black smoke – and paint the town neon blue!

3. MAC Nail Laquer in Phosphor

MAC calls Phosphor nail laquer a “bumble bee” yellow, but I say that this is the “canary yellow” nail polish I’ve been looking for all season. Following in Moi’s fabulous footsteps, I am dying to see what neon yellow looks like painted against my dark skin this summer. I presume Phophor neon yellow nail laquer would look great against nearly all skin tones – if even for shock value.

4. MAC Slimshine Lipstick in Tropic Glow

If these Slimshine lipsticks are anything like my new favorite Revlon sheer lipstick, they’re probably better. This sheer, bright pink lipstick I would love to try and pull off but if the color is too bright, you could easily pair it with a sheer, wet lip gloss to subdue the color a bit.

5. MAC Dazzleglass in Funtabulous

This Dazzleglass is bright, purple, and shimmery, which are the only three reasons I need to add it to my overflowing lip gloss collection!

Now that you’re feeling daring with neons you can check out this summer’s neon clothes trend as well!
