And you thought science fiction was just for cheesy novels written by the Captain Kirk’s of the world. Maybe you thought science themed makeup means ugly facial prosthetics or weird facial implants to produce a lovely Klingon forehead. And that’s all true. But MAC Cosmetics has taken on its own spacey twist with the Neo Sci-Fi line of lipsticks, eye shadows, blushes and nail lacquer. They call it a magnetic field of hot fluorescent, with oranges, beiges, flesh tones and neutral pinks making up most of the products. It’s not exactly what I’d call fluorescent, but it has a certain appeal. I’m really actually only loving the nail polish shades, which really are hot hot hot. There is a vibrant yellow the colour of sulphur, and a shade called Plasma Blue that is fantastic. I also like the burnt orange shade. If you only get one thing, go with that. And avoid the whole Klingon thing.
