Sneak Peek: MAC To the Beach

MAC also has a HUGE and highly anticipated collection coming out May 27. It’s called To the Beach — which I think deserves an exclamation point: To the Beach!

Brushes
130 Short Duo Fibre ($38)
This short, dense skunk was introduced with the new Mineralize cream foundation, but it’s also well suited to cream blush application. This is a permanent brush. MAC’s description of it is

A short, round dual fibre with flat head composed of both natural bristles and synthetic fibers ideal for application with creams, emulsions & various powder products.

131 Short Duo Fibre Powder/ Blush ($34)
This was the limited edition flat/paddle-shaped skunk that came out with Colour Craft, to complement the mineralize blushes. The official MAC description is

Flat, tapered face brush that contains a combination of short, natural, fibers and longer, fiber-optic fibers ideal for light application and highlighting/shading with various face powders. Ideally suited to mineralize skinfinish powder products.

I read about it on Specktra; they heard about it from ChicProfile.
