Grab it while you can, beauties… because MAC’s limited-edition “Riveting” collection is scheduled to be pulled from shelves in mid-March!

The inspiration for this succinct collection of MAC makeup? Edgy, rock-n-roll beauties from the 80s. Did MAC manage to capture that glamour in this collection? I’ll let you be the judge. Below (borrowed with thanks from Amazon.com) is an image of Berlin’s “Pleasure Victim” album cover, circa 1983. Tell me that the makeup on lead-singer Terri Nunn doesn’t look like it was created with some of the makeup I photographed, above?

Bright, almost-neon lips, cheeks with an other-worldly flush, and makeup that looks anything but natural were the style. Oh, how I’ve missed it and love seeing it again! Stay tuned. The next few posts will focus on the collection in more depth.

Ok… Lipstick #201 by Make Up For Ever is definitely for a special kind of gal. This shade is super-opaque and vibrant to the extreme. I assure you… you WILL GET NOTICED! If coral lips are too “tame” for you, you’ll love this lipstick.

Below is content provided directly from Make Up For Ever, for the readers of Raging Rouge!

This spring’s hottest new hues come straight from the runways. Shades of juicy ORANGE were embraced by make up artists on models’ eyes, cheeks and lips during spring 2010 fashion week’s biggest shows.

MAKE UP FOR EVER offers a bold yet wearable palette of orange make up must-haves to keep your look in line with the rising temps.

Celebrated make up artist Pat McGrath embraced a bold orange lip at Prada. McGrath perfected the models’ pouts with Lipstick #201 for long-lasting creamy, glossy color and topped it off with

Glossy Full Couleur #2 for an eye-catching neon look.

Models at Balenciaga flaunted vibrant orange eyes that can be recreated with highly pigmented Eye Shadow #18. Swiped on inner corners of the eye or on the entire lid, this shade can add an unexpected pop of color to everyday make up.

Layer Star Powder #952 over any shade of neutral toned eye shadow to add a hint of orange shimmer to the eyes.
