DEADLY PONIES

Nicole Thompson AKA Pinky led the MAC team backstage at Deadly Ponies. I am a huge fan of Nicole and it was a delight to hear about the look from her.

“We are creating a shiny, happy hippy cult!” Nicole said. “We are creating a character rather than an overly-glamorous makeup look.”

The makeup is more of a ‘creative feeling’; not over the top. The models’ natural state is left showing, in keeping with the inspiration of a group of people in a happy hippy collective without lots of artifice.
