I must preface this by saying that I am not particularly “down” with the women’s rights movement, or at least that isn’t the motivation for me saying that the new Mac Barbie Collection is girl’s fantasy gone bad. Did we really need another unrealistic iconic figure to attack our self esteem?
And before all the fashionistas get their panties in a bunch, let me just say I love cosmetics, fantasy, and all other things fabulous-- no matter how politically incorrect. But making up your face to assume a plastic disposition is by no means flattering. Most men I know don’t even like lipstick on their face let alone the shellac MAC is calling foundation. In addition if your foundation is too heavy how can you achieve that natural sun kissed glow (you know when the sun actually can reach your skin), which should be the basis for any summer look. A Barbie at the beach can never be attractive, unless it is “make pretend” at your daughter’s digression. Ok, to sum up an otherwise lengthy soliloquy, Barbie make up-- BAD, Sun kissed glossy look -- FAB.
