Summer 2016: MAC Vibe Tribe Makeup Collection.

The MAC Summer makeup collection is here and Vibe Tribe is a nod to the summer festival season. One glance and you might think it's Native American themed (see below for MAC's official statement on this) with the shades and patterns, either way, it a collection full of shades set against a background of a flickering summer sunset. Get ready, summer is here!

Lose control in lips painted reckless shades of red and coral, or a flash of gold. Let your eyes escape reality in teal, cobalt mandarin and charcoal, as free-spirited nails glisten in succulent tangerine and the perfect, buttery nude with M∙A∙C Vibe Tribe. Join the tribe. Feel the vibe.

I only tried a few pieces from the collection and out of what I tried, I would definitely recommend the Bronzing Powder in Firebrush and Powder Blush in Modern Mandarin. Worn together, this shimmering bronzer and blush is gorgeous with a tan. Use a light hand with both.

MAC released a statement to Refinery29 regarding the controversy surrounding this collection: "The collection, including the visuals, product lineup, and naming, is inspired by art, outdoor music festivals, and the colors of the desert. The collection has absolutely no connection to nor was it inspired by the Native American cultures.".
