I enjoyed Dame Edna work the runway and fire up the crowd for a charity auction at Macy’s Passport earlier this year… Yup, if you’d told me then that she’d be coming out with her own MAC collection, I would have thought you were kidding, but here we are, LOL!
Here’s a sneak height and a few swatches from the upcoming collection, which is due on counters December 26.
ANNONSE
Like Le Grande Dame herself, the collection is a little odd. It’s heavy on blue-based shades and frosty finishes with splashes of coral. I haven’t figured out how it’s all meant to mesh together, but I think I’ll have a better idea once MAC articles the face charts online.

The Eye shadow Trios
Wisteria’s frosty finishes have fab bold club looks written all over ’em. I might pass, though, because these are shades I wouldn’t have lots of opportunities to wear.
The royal excursion trio has me intrigued, but the shades look very familiar. remember climate Blue from the amazing heat release? — and royal excursion bears a striking resemblance to modern Heir eyeshadow from last year’s royal Assets: 6 amazing Eyes Palette.

Powders
The pans of both Splendid! and What a Dame! are embossed with a shimmery design. Both feel silky and soft to the touch. While these colors are too pale for my tan skin, they must look terrific on someone with lighter skin.
I thought it was interesting that when each pan was new and undisturbed, they delivered a mixed matte/shimmer payoff, but as soon as the designs had been brushed away, the finish looked a lot more like a standard matte.
Lipsticks and Lipglasses — Coral is Queen
I’m really looking forward to the coral lipstick and Lipglass shades. All three — Coral Polyp, Possum Nose and Splendid — look highly wearable and best for next spring and summer.
As for the remaining lip shades, well, I may pass. Kanga Rouge looks a lot like Red She Said, and Gladiola makes me think of girl about Town. That said, hot Frost absolutely has lust-worthy pink lipgloss appeal comin’ out the wazzoo.
I’m off to dance class! Be back in a few…
