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!

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.

End the Summer with MAC Baby Bloom.

Baby Bloom is such a fitting name for this light, hydrating, sheerly tinted new collection from MAC. The collection just contains two products, but both pack such a punch that it is certainly nothing to just pass over.

Designed especially for use with makeup, the new Studio Moisture Tint SPF 15 in Baby Bloom drenches skin in healing emollients. The finish is light as the tint gives off a soft glow, while it rescues skin from sun damage all in one. In addition to hiding small imperfections and discolorations, this makeup multi-tasker is packed with a plethora of preventative and reparative extracts as it is designed to boost skin’s health with continued use.

Studio Moisture Tint for the face is paired up with Suntints SPF 20 Liquid Lip Balm. This balm is beautiful with it's touch of sheer color, moisture and protection for the lips; in five soft, feminine shades.
