Exclusive: MAC Debuts Marilyn Monroe Makeup Collection

Blonde bombshell moment: MAC Cosmetic has unveiled plans for a special makeup collection inspired by Marilyn Monroe’s glamorous beauty. The limited-edition line (in partnership with Authentic Brands Group) includes nearly 30 products -- eye shadow, lipstick (think retro red and hot pink), nail lacquer and eyeliner -- and will arrive in stores in October.

Irreverent and a living image of provocative fashion – Carine Roitfeld. M·A·C announces our collaboration with the fashion visionary and muse, editor and image-maker. M·A·C partnered with Carine on every aspect – from the chic shades and Good Luck Star to the packaging and the tools to achieve her signature look – nude lip, bold brow, and the smoky eye elevated to a new art form.

DAPHNE GUINNESS FOR MAC

Iris Apfel for MAC Lipstick

Though MAC seems to announce a new fashion-crowd-courting collaboration every other month, this one is worth a lunchtime detour to your nearest MAC boutique. Design icon Iris Apfel’s bird-inspired collection launched yesterday, including five shades of splashy, unapologetically bold lipsticks. There are three standouts of the bunch: Scarlet Ibis, a bright, high-drama red that approximates Apfel’s signature bold lip; Pink Pigeon, a neon pink (we've been admiring this shade since Fashion Week); and Party Parrot, a rich red-pink blend. The matte sticks have a soft, creamy consistency that doesn’t dry out lips in cold weather or require retouching after one drink. Four of the five hues are sold out online already (all but Morange, a traffic-cone orange), but they’re still available in stores.
Iris Apfel for MAC lipstick, $14.50 at MAC Cosmetics.
