On the one hand, I've always appreciated MAC's commitment to providing a broad range of makeup (particularly foundations, concealers and powders) to suit the needs of its diverse clientele. Ask any woman of color (myself included) and, until recently, there were very few other lines that provided high-quality makeup that actually matched our skin tones. On the other hand, I was a bit queasy by the United Colors of Benetton-esque vibe of the collection's name, and the overly simplistic 'Ebony And Ivory' tone of it all. I could almost picture the advertisements, which I knew would feature a black woman and a white woman in some sort of embrace or friendly stance. Sure enough, that's precisely how the dominant ad looks: two models in draped ensembles matching their particular flesh tones and matching beanie hats covering their tresses, with the white model wrapping her arms around the black model's shoulders. As soon as I looked at the image, I wondered, 'What happened to the all races part?'

LIPSTICKS
The lipsticks in this collection sound words that would be engraved into some monument at the National Mall in Washington, D.C.: there's Equality, a lustrous pale mauve hue; Myself, a creamy pale nude shade with yellow undertones; Empowered, a coppery brown; and 5N, a Fudgsicle-colored sheer brown hue with plum undertones. I had the chance to try the 'Myself' and '5N' shades, and I really liked both of them. The 'Myself' lipstick is perfect for my complexion, since I have some yellow undertones to my skin, and it's a lipstick I can wear when I want to cancel out the lips and draw attention to the eyes. The '5N' hue, meanwhile, makes more of a statement on my lips, but it's still sheer enough to feel right for regular use.
