Product Spotlight: MAC Opalescent Powder in Rising Star, From the new Starring You holiday 2019 Collection

Shoot for the Stars, Rising Star!
This Rising star from MAC ? is shooting directly to the top of my listing of “Best of the very best makeup to wear With MAC Teddy.”

(Wait…doesn’t everybody keep that listing around?)

Of all the things in the new MAC Starring You holiday makeup collection (which is the sub-collection of makeup within the mega collection of LE holiday items, including the kits as well as palettes), warm golden Rising star ($36) deal with powder is the 1) most wearable eye product IMO, as well as 2) the kindest to fine lines, which makes it the star of the show in my book.

And, oh yeah, it looks fantastic when you wear it with MAC Teddy! (Totally key.)

Rising star is a warm golden pressed powder in the MAC Opalescent deal with Powder fam. It’s a pressed powder with finely-spun grains of granulated powder that virtually float atop your skin, as well as it’s designed to be used as a highlighter.

Are you familiar with the hourglass Ambients? If so, MAC’s Opalescent deal with Powders are extremely similar in terms of structure as well as finish, however with somewhat higher shine.

As a highlighter, it provides cheeks a soft, subtle candlelit glow…but I like to take my cues from MAC artists who utilize it as an eyeshadow! That’s where I believe it truly lusters (pun intended).

I buff it on top of my lids with a MAC 217, as well as it immediately adds a glam “Charlotte Tilbury-ness” to my lids, particularly when I wear it atop a base of MAC Teddy liner.

It’s an simple as well as elegant eye look, which is totally my style, as well as finest of all, the powder lasts all day. I used this eye makeup to the bakery the other day, as well as it stayed put for a solid 14 hours!
