Archie’s Girl Collection has finally launched yesterday and we are definitely pleased to be able to see the products with the adorable specially designed packaging. The collection took us down the memory lane as we reminisce the good ol’ day with Archie’s comic. Lipstiq team had the opportunity to do an one-on-one interview with the friendly M.A.C senior makeup artist Haritha Shan on the beauty look she created for Archie’s Girls Collection. Haritha shared some of the beauty tips and the explained the key features of the collection during the interview. Check out the interview below!
Q: Can you explain the key features of “Archie’s Girls Collection”?
Haritha: So, I will start off with Veronica first. The key feature is mainly her eyes. The liner is being really winged-up and it’s not only on the eyelet, but also on the crease area where we used purple liner to wing the line. Usually red lips always pop in any beauty look, but somehow for Veronica, her eyes are popping more which makes the lips look more subtle. So that’s the key look, which is her eyes.
As for Betty the girl next door, a lot of focus is always on her cheeks because of her ‘natural looking’ freckles, which was created by using the brow pencil. I think freckles are considered as beauty these days, so we are concentrating on her cheeks and lips. As for the eyes, the focus are not much on the eyes except for the fake lashes which I get the inspiration from Twiggy. Overall the focus is more on the cheeks below.
And now for Archie, there’s nothing to say much. He’s a natural beauty, with his little cheeky smile, dimples and freckles.
Q: How many beauty looks can you create with the Archies collection?
Haritha: You can create as much as you want. Yeah it’s just really depends on how you wanna create the look. Because I think personally anyone can be a make up artist and with any products, you can personalize your own look. So, with the Archie’s collection, I think you can easily create more than 10 looks.
Q: What are your top 3 favourite products in this collection and why?
Haritha: So, one of my top 3 products is definitely the Pearl Glide Eye Liner. The eye liner comes with glitter and it’s something that I can go really quick. If I want something quick and I don’t have time for eye shadow, I can just put on the liner and I can just run. The Opulash is also one of my favourites because it gives me a fake lash effect and it’s really nice. It gives me a really thick and long effect with it’s optimum blush. And finally, Pearl MAC Face Powder – gives you a very pearl finish on the skin, you look really flawless and you can put it anywhere on your skin, not only the cheeks area but you can dash it all over your face
Q: For a person who has just begun to play around with make up, which product in this collection would you recommend?
Haritha: Definitely eyeliner.
Q: What are the key make up trend for this summer?
Haritha: For spring summer season, you’ll see a lot of highlights going on the skin. But they’re not powder highlights because they are going to be lots of skin highlights. It’s going to be creamy texture and it’s all about cream story this season. You’ll see a lot of cream going on, even on the contour of the cheek is cream, but it’s not sculpted, it’s just a natural contour. As for the eyes, the eyes are very bronzy and you’ll see colour for spring such as pink and orange.
