Rant -MAC Rodarte Collection
If not for the whole controversy, the new line is actually quite beautiful. However, given the situation and how this makeup was inspired, I can’t bring myself to purchase any of it. $100,000 is nothing to MAC and Rodarte, it really trivializes what’s happening in Juarez. Even though MAC has decided to donate all proceeds to a non-profit organization that works to improve conditions in Juarez, I feel like this is quite after the fact. Plus, they still gain publicity from ppl buying products from this line. I feel the only way for MAC to show their sincerity is to destroy the entire line and donate proceeds they would’ve made to non-profit organization to help Juarez.
Perhaps to many makeup gurus/collectors, this is very extreme. But we need to send a message to companies that they need to be socially responsible. If you want to know more details about this, please see below link.
