MAC x Harris Reed

By Brittany sinclair

Gender-fluid designer, Harris Reed, is designing the future of beauty. Reed had a breakthrough year in the fashion world, and is a celebrity stylist to the stars— including Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus, Troye Sivan and Solange. Harris also received Harper’s Bazaar’s 2020 award for Breakout Designer of the Year. did we mention he is only 24!

Inspired by glam rock romanticism, this limited edition collection invites you to express you individuality in any way you want. “Harris has curated a range of products based on their updated vision of glam rock and dandyish dressing,” says Terry Barber, M-A-C Directory of Makeup Artistry. “(The Colours are) elegantly fluid, with influences ranging from Renaissance painting to the iconic imagery of David Bowie and a young Mick Jagger.”

The packaging is gilded in golden borders and accented with Renaissance inspired imagery. The collection includes an Eyeshadow palette, cream colour bases, lipsticks, and a Gold Eye Kohl pencil that will complement anyone and everyone. I’m particularly excited for the gold cream colour base, the vibrant red lipstick, and there is a beautiful teal colour in the eyeshadow palette I know I can have some fun with.

Reed also just debuted his fist collection at London Fashion Week, which was also declared gender-neutral by the British Fashion Council last June because of the pandemic. The timing is perfect, and Harris Reed has definitely made his mark!
