Sorry, does makeup fit into Girls' Locker or Fashion? You can move this accordingly. =)
Anyway. I've been reading up on this for the past few weeks on various blogs, and I have to say, it looks really great. The ads look great, if not a little airbrushed (but come on, now, this is Barbie we're talkin' about). Oh, and it's the first line of MAC makeup to have its own separate website: http://www.barbielovesmac.com    Thoughts? |

I'm not appalled by young girls using makeup. I'm just disappointed that MAC has lowered it's standards to such an extent. Yes, Barbie is an iconic figure in fashion, but cmon, seriously?

Yes, Barbie is an iconic figure in fashion, but cmon, seriously? Honestly, I love the Barbie Loves MAC stuff. & I'm saving up to get some. I do a lot of experimentation/art w/ make-up & stuff, which is why I'm in a few makeup groups on xanga & Myspace. But I don't think that the association with Barbie is really going to encourage younger girls to wear make-up & I think we're blowing it a little out of proportion. As one person said, Barbies are over around 7 or 8; & then it's Bratz dolls. But for most of us & older women, our childhoods were all about Barbie; nothing but Barbie. So I think it appeals to people in their 20s & 30s, marketing a more youthful look for them. Don't blame MAC for younger girls wearing makeup; little girls have been getting play make-up kits for ages now. I love the brightness of their makeup, but just consider the fact that it takes primer, shadesticks, &/or more than 1 color to get their sometimes. MAC makeup is meant to be bold, bright, & dramatic; after all the company began marketing for stage performers & dancers. |
