Get Futuristic with Blackpink’s Lisa for MAC Cosmetics’ Latest Campaign
Futuristic looks are all the rave, and it’s taking the beauty world by storm. Think eyeshadow palettes with gorgeous, shimmery shades like purples and blues to stunning silvers that altogether scream cyberpunk.
Leading the quest for beauty’s latest trend is Blackpink’s Lisa: The new face of MAC Cosmetics’ ‘Modern Electric’ campaign that focuses on “the future of eyes”. Known for her daring everyday looks and near-perfect beauty, it is no surprise that MAC chose her to front their campaign.
“I’m totally in love with this look! I think modern, monochromatic eyes are going to be huge, and these all-new eyeshadows by MAC are perfect for creating them. In fact, whatever look I’m going for – whether it’s cat eyes or something smokier – eyeshadow always pulls it all together. I simply can’t live without it,” says Lisa.
When putting together this “sci-fi chic” look, try to visualise the music of Dua Lipa’s ‘Future Nostalgia’ as your inspiration – something that feels out there but not out of place at the same time. You may be used to having colours on your lids, but why not go a step further and add a shimmer on top of it? Or perhaps layer your matte look with a swipe of metallic powder that can make it stand out that much more? It's time to give your eyes that much-needed spotlight to shine.
Recreate Lisa’s look with these products
“Start your look with Eye Shadow in Haux, sweeping across lids with a 224S Brush to tint the eyes and form a saucer-like shape. Tap Eye Shadow in Cranberry into the centre of your shape and blend outward with the same brush to create a glimmering effect,” says Regan Rabanal, MAC’s Education Director for Asia Pacific.
“I love how this shape brings out Lisa’s eyes and it also works brilliantly on any eye shape. Polish off your look by whipping those brows into shape with Eye Brows Styler and Eye Brows Big Boost Fibre Gel in Brunette, adding power to your brows! Eye Brows Styler quickly helps define and shape brows with a micro-pencil tip while Eye Brows Big Boost Fibre Gel volumizes with fibres that fill and set your look to stay all day. With Lisa’s look, you’ll be left with eyes that mesmerise!”
