The thing about MAC stores right, is that they’re wallpapered with pictures of beautiful women sporting the most lurid, Dulex paint advert shades known to humankind. The truth is, I’ve been really enjoying all of these burnt bronzey tones of late and I chose to see the shoe situation as the opportunity to take the theme and run with it. I’d never go there for, say, a nudey beige or a soft brown which Maybelline Colour Tattoo do just as well at a third of the price.
I only ever go in to MAC when the colour I want is slightly left field and likely unavailable elsewhere.
What’s a girl stuck with snakeskin slip ons to do? I emailed Claire with a picture, and while I waited for her response went in to MAC to find a suitable eyeshadow to go with my orange footwear and orange hair. Suffice it to say I had already parted cash and jauntily chucked my receipt away (not for the first time) before it occurred to me that I live in Clapton not the Arizona desert, and that I am not Lupita Nyong’o and even if I was I’m not convinced I would wear these ORANGE MULES.

Only one thing for it: new and unnecessary high heels from Carnaby st round the corner.īefore my better judgement had woken up I had come away with a pair of orange snake skin mules, a bold choice in three respects which I’ll repeat:īut good taste was still on snooze and I figured that I could probably pull them off in a ‘Lupita Nyong’o does a shoot in the Arizona desert’ way. I had just finished an early morning voiceover job in Soho, where I riotously flirted with the sound engineer, and was feeling a peculiar combination of tired (because always) and sassy.
