The new MAC Peacocky makeup collection will be available from January 6, 2011 through mid February, 2011.

Arrogance or elegance? The showy display, the undeniably sexual spectacle, the iridescent irreverence…it’s awe-inspiring. We fetishize the exotic peacock as a symbol of extreme beauty, an act of elaborate nature, raging against everything simplistic.

As part of M·A·C’s Artist Relations’ constant support of the film, theater and television industries, they have the unique opportunity to have their products be featured in some of the most memorable scenes in our culture.

Black Swan the movie makeup by M·A·C Cosmetics

Marta Walsh is excited to share with you a Q&A from the film’s makeup department head Margie Durand and makeup designer Judy Chin on the finale Black Swan look.

Q: How does a makeup artist prepare to work on a film? Do you receive guidance from the director or collaborate with the costume designer/art director/key hair stylist on the makeup look?

It’s a Monster collaboration: Pink 4 Friday by MAC Cosmetics and Nicki Minaj. The Trinidadian hip-hop diva has personally designed a LIMITED EDITION MAC Lipstick, Pink Friday, to celebrate the release of her highly anticipated debut album of the same name.

Best foundation and best foundation brush. MAC Pro Longwear SPF 10 Foundation and Brush 187SE my new LOVE. The foundation itself has a great feel and finish and is super long wearing. I prefer this brush (187SE) on a regular flat foundation brush for applying liquid foundation.

What I do is I dispense few pumps of liquid foundation on the back of my hand then tap brush 187SE on to get liquid foundation on brush and then tap (not brush on) on my face. This way you are not caking your face with foundation. The effect is more like an airbrush effect. The brush bristles diffuse the foundation and allows for sheer yet buildable application. Also it cuts down foundation application to 30 seconds! I’m big on quick yet effective makeup. I’m a busy lady you know:)))
