MAC Holiday Collections focus on festivities and the fabulous this Holiday. Shimmery silvery compacts, makeup bags and boxes adorned with playful bubbles encase MAC’s most merry hues. There is something for everyone with holiday makeup shades, gifts that give back and holiday gift ideas!

MAC Holiday Colour:

Magic, Mirth, and Mischief

Inspired by a holiday spirit that’s impromptu, unstuffy and informal, this Holiday collection focuses on FUN! Cheeks are coloured with Mineralize Blush featuring a crescent full of sparkle to add Holiday wonderment. Choose from two of the most popular glosses: lusciously moist Cremesheen Lipglass or startlingly sparkly Dazzleglass, each creating a polished pout that stands out. Or choose from seven pouches to target eyes or lips or fulfill all your makeup brush fantasies. And there are Lip, Eye and Face Palettes that put a bevy of glorious colours in your palm. Available October 15, 2009 at all MAC locations.

MAC Viva Glam: Gifts That Give Back:

Miracles Can Happen Viva Glam Lip Kit

Believe in miracles large and small, in magic of all kinds, and give a gift that also helps others. Featuring Lipstick in Viva Glam V and VI and Lipglass in Viva Glam V, this deep red compact contains some of our most popular shades. Every cent of the selling price of Viva Glam Lipstick and Lipglass is donated to the MAC AIDS Fund to support men, women and children living with HIV and AIDS. Available October 15, 2009 at all MAC locations.

Purple is in and everywhere. Probably the hottest makeup trend this season. We see purple nail polish, smoky eye, and now purple lips. Quite a nice shade for fall and winter. Here is lovely Rihanna in purple glossy lips.

To get Rihanna’s inspired purple lips try: MAC Faultlessly F/W Lipstick: a Blackened blue violet Amplified (image on left). Or, MAC New Berry Lipglass: a Deep plum Cream (image on right). Both from the NEW MAC Trend F/W ‘09. Wear then alone or mixed them up. I like to always apply the lipgloss first then the lipstick on top. You get a more sheer effect and you are not ruining your lipgloss brush.

This season MAC celebrates the idea of the Artist in every shade and stripe…makeup as art form. MAC has selected three individuals who exemplify this idea through both the subjects they choose, and the wildly individual styles and colours used to convey them. Bold, heroic, big; giggly, playful, clever; dramatic, original, abstract: Fall ’09 as seen by Richard Phillips, Maira Kalman, and Marilyn Minter. Be inspired.

MAC Make-Up Art Cosmetics will be available for a limited time starting August 20, 2009.

FALL ’09 AS SEEN BY RICHARD PHILLIPS, PAINTER: Using the expert skills of a photo-retoucher, Richard subjected his own painting to a MAC 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!
