It’s difficult not to be drawn into the rainbow-bright world of French graffiti artist Fafi. With her seductive artwork that features girls gone wild graffiti that are pretty cute. And this exuberant and playful vibe is the ultimate fantasy for us, femmes — to ooze with sex appeal just like the Fafinettes.
Being miles ahead than Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Girls, Fafi is known for her collaborations with Adidas for jackets and sneakers and LeSportsac for bags and accessories. Now, her latest stint is creating a limited-edition makeup line with MAC Cosmetics.
Since Fafi creates really adorable Japanimation anime characters and this collaboration combines animation and creativity, expect the line to be sexy and playful. Because after all, you shouldn’t take yourself or makeup too seriously and just have fun.
Oh, the darnest cute thing about MAC’s Fafi collection is that her Fafinette personas have come to life. Just like French babe Ermine, who is a DJ that digs New York and Indian food. Then, there is Eriko from Japan who is in love with Paris and collects blue ashtrays from chic bars. Monoka is obsessed with Tokyo’s technology-driven culture, drinking shochu and collecting ’50s-era French erotica.
Expect this makeup collection to be exploding with bright colors, all to be worn loud and proud. For this beauty shoot, the idea was to create local versions of Fafinettes with funky hats and cool clothes by designer Mich Dulce.
Fafi’s Squeeze It look takes a walk into the green side with green eyeshadow and pink lips. Theater look plays with nude tones but is perked up with a heart drawing on the cheeks. And for the Beauty look, expect sassed up eyeliner reminiscent of Amy Winehouse.
Have fun in choosing a quad eye compact with colors of melon, cantaloupe and lemon with navy blue to a girly palette of pink and peachy neutrals. Dig the lip glazes with cool names like Flash A Dash and Fun N’ Sexy or Totally It. Because if you are wearing the same ‘ol pink, amp up the shade into something vibrant. Plus, all of these come in Fafi designs, which will make you want to hoard all MAC stores.
So, if you’re feeling sad, blue and bored with your usual makeup, now is the right time to live by the mantra of love and fafiness and let that be your energy.
