The shade names are too good! 😂

To qualify as a basic bitch, you must:

  1. Love ‘gramming your Starbucks Frappuccino
  2. Watch The Bachelor religiously
  3. Own a pair of ugg boots

Are you nodding in agreement? Good. Us too.

It’s a well known fact among women that a lot of us are basic AF, but there ain’t nothin’ wrong with dat. Girl, we feel ya. So, when we heard that MAC Cosmetics had hinted at the release of a Basic Bitch eyeshadow palette we mentally prepared for the internet to explode – and it basic-ally has.

MAC senior makeup artist Netta Szekely trialed the lust-worthy palette backstage at Milan Fashion Week.

From what we can tell, it appears to feature eight stunning new eyeshadows and a pink-based iridescent highlighter dubbed “Love This Bitch”.

The shades themselves are not-so-basic, and range from a soft grey named “Me Me Me” to a fierce, rich plum called “Hell In Heels”. 

According to the swatches, the texture looks incred and the pay-off is amaze.

Refinery29 reached out to MAC Cosmetics to find out when this baby will be hitting shelves, but they said it’s just being tested for now. Watch this space, biatches!
