Introducing MAC Make-up Art Cosmetics.

M·A·C is getting back to core of it's vision - makeup as an art form. In doing so, they have selected three individuals who exemplify this idea through both the subjects they choose, and the wildly individual styles and colours used to convey them.

Take a look at the latest collection on counters now. Bold, heroic, big; giggly, playful, clever; dramatic, original, abstract: Fall ’09 as seen by Richard Phillips, Maira Kalman, and Marilyn Minter. Be inspired!

RICHARD PHILLIPS, PAINTER

 MAIRA KALMAN, ILLUSTRATOR

MARILYN MINTER, PHOTOGRAPHER

As each collection is unique, visit each link to my feature on each one:

FALL ’09 AS SEEN BY RICHARD PHILLIPS, PAINTER

Using the expert skills of a photo-retoucher, Richard subjected his own painting to a M·A·C makeover with the new eye shadows, blushes and lipsticks. A collection of Eye Shadow quads, Lipsticks, Lipglass, and The Perfect Cheek Blush just leap off the canvas!

FALL ’09 AS SEEN BY MAIRA KALMAN, ILLUSTRATOR
Famous for her whimsical visual diaries, Maira Kalman performed a bit of magic with M·A·C's new Technakohl Eye Liners and Eye Shadows, instantly drafting a captivating look at a stranger.

FALL ’09 AS SEEN BY MARILYN MINTER, PHOTOGRAPHER
Minter’s erotic imagery zooms in on a succulently wet, red lip, a dappled, sequined eye, or a silverized stiletto splashing in the mud. Pigments in Push the Edge and Copper or Gold Glitter have the power to make anyone feel like they WILL be seen – and desired. That gift for sparkle is one reason Minter was a natural for the high-key glitter pigments in Make-Up.

All collections are online and on MAC counters now, but for a limited time only.

Loving the Tri-Color Lipgloss!

Tri-colored lipgloss is nothing new. What is new is how much better they are done now-a-days. With brands like MAC making the tri-colored lipglass and now Estee Lauder jumping in with their own elegant version, there is so much to love.

I was showing a great beauty friend my favorites and it left her wanting her own.

End the Summer with MAC Baby Bloom.
