Obviously inspired by the vintage feel of the bowling alley, the MAC It’s A Strike collection boasts of bold fall colors reminiscent of the 80s bowling scene and the electro-luxe hues of neon signs hanging incandescently by the milkshake bar.
I have always been a fan of MAC collections, they come up with the most beautiful selection of colors and their presentation is superb. This year’s fall collection is called It’s A Strike and it includes an assortment of lipsticks, eyeshadow, Cremesheen Glass, Fluidline pens, pearl matte face powder, and nail lacquer that pay homage to the 80s bowling scene. The inspiration taken from rootbeer floats and the fashion have created such a vivid atmosphere of nostalgia any 80s kid would be all too familiar with.
Mac It’s A Strike Collection | The Perfect Addition To Your Makeup
I know you’re probably wondering how MAC has pulled off a collection of striking colors all lending to the offbeat allure of the bowling alley. Well, if you haven’t seen the collection yet, then you are about to go nuts because it is absolutely perfect to add to your makeup collection. Let’s get to the details, shall we?
Eyeshadows
When you think of a bowling alley, you probably think of bold colors that pop out against each other, surprisingly MAC has come out with beautifully subdued colors perfect for fall. If they have not named this collection It’s A Strike, I would understand this as their fall collection right away. Colors like Bowl Out and Join My League are giving us all the neutral brown goodness of the bowling floors and with shades called Bowlarama and 300 Game transporting us to the retro vibe of the bowling arena. Each eyeshadow pan is sold at $16.
Lipsticks and Gloss
The lipstick collection is to die for. I love all the colors in this lip collection! From the nude shade Honeylove to the glittery goodness of Liquid Lurex and all the beautiful plum shades in between, I will get them all. One bullet of the limited edition lipstick costs $17.
It would not be a bowling alley – inspired collection without gloss. I think it’s wonderful they came out with Cremesheen Glass colors that scream retro and fall. This reminds me of the fashion in a bowling game, the team jackets, the sneakers, all of them creating a wonderful cacophony of striking colors. The glosses are sold for $21 each.
Powder and Blush
Let’s not forget the powder and blush shades in this collection. The Pearlmatte Face Powder with bowling pins and ball design is too cute to miss. It has a satin sheer finish perfect for creating dimension on your face. The powder is available for $27.
The blushers Have A Lovely Day and Blind Score are lip and cheek cream pans that are highly blendable creating a natural-looking flush to your cheeks. Each blush is sold for $23.
Let’s all take a moment and stare at the astonishing intricate design of this Pearlmatte Face Powder:
Nail Polish
The collection also includes nail lacquer colors and fluid line pens in retro black, vintage brown, and indelibly blue. A bottle of nail polish is sold for $13.
