Megan Fox is gracing the cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine October 2009. Wait, it’s not October yet! Nonetheless, I don’t mind the sneak peek to Megan’s cover. I approve Megan’s hairstyle. You can never go wrong with straight smooth hair parted in the middle. I do it all the time, lol:)

Wonder how to get Megan Fox’s look on the cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine October 2009? Here are some tips! 

I detect grey nail polish. To get Megan Fox’s grey nails try MAC Hello Kitty Nail Polish in On The Prowl.

To get Megan Fox’s sexy long eye lashes try ÔSCILLATION POWERBOOSTER by Lancôme: A two-in-one vibrating lash primer and conditioner that boosts the appearance of lash growth. HYPNÔSE DRAMA Instant Full Body Volume Mascara by Lancôme: The ultimate instant-volume mascara for lash drama. I use both the lash primer and mascara by Lancôme and they work amazing in getting my lashes super long, full, and Hollywood worthy.

To add more drama and difintion to eyes use a black eye liner to upper lash line, and the corner of eyes try: Prescriptives NEW Longwear Kohl Liner in black hohl. Or, Givenchy Magic Kajal Eye Pencil in magic black.

MAC Cosmetics, the iconic global makeup authority, has teamed up with none other than the International pop culture phenomenon Hello Kitty, to create a colour story that takes its cue from both the fantastical world of Hello Kitty and the glamorous fashion scene. Somewhere between a coy girl and sexy siren, MAC Hello Kitty represents the desire in all of us to be both innocent and mischievous. More Angelina Jolie than Shirley Temple, the feisty new colour collection takes its inspiration from the complex, yet elegantly feminine sensibility. Please welcome MAC Hello Kitty available everywhere MAC is sold February 12, 2009.

In celebration of the partnership, MAC has taken it to the stylish next level and tapped into its fashion reservoir of friends and assembled a team of 30 internationally renowned designers, to create one-of-a-kind pieces that are inspired by the Hello Kitty collection.

“Since the inception of the brand, MAC’s roots have always been in fashion,” says John Demsey, Group President, MAC Cosmetics. “We support both up and coming and established designers by providing makeup artistry for their runway shows or creating limited edition designer colour collections. It was a natural fit to fuse two iconic brands with fashion, and give both MAC addicts and Hello Kitty obsessed fans something that will keep them talking for a long time,” says Demsey.

MAC asked designers to work within the colour palette of the Hello Kitty collection of black, grey, white and pink and posed the question, “What would MAC Hello Kitty wear if she were a fashionista?” And make no mistake, she is a girly, girl! Designers were given creative freedom to create pieces in their own aesthetic and on February 5th in New York, MAC will unveil the exclusive designs to the world with a global Hello Kitty cocktail party and fashion exhibit showcasing the ensembles. It will certainly be a MAC Hello Kitty Commotion!

Here is a Q &A with Jennifer Balbier SVP Product Development, MAC Worldwide about the latest from MAC Cosmetics: MAC Hello Kitty.

How did the MAC Hello Kitty partnership inspire your own product development process?
To me, MAC Hello Kitty embodies the ultimate beauty icon: No one is more alluring yet incredibly cute and at the same time appeals to a wider range of customers than she does, it doesn’t matter how old you are. Hello Kitty is the ultimate girly girl and guys like her too. She is coy and I couldn’t help but be reminded of how you never really know what she’s thinking. We wanted to reflect that mysterious quality through a sweet side, but also something slightly mischievous when it came to the colours. I started out by creating a palette of pinks, since they fit and always trend well in the spring, but we also incorporated black into the collection to give it a sophisticated edge as well, and moved forward from there.

Can you tell us more about who this girl is?
I see her as a playful, coquettish girly girl with a rocker edge, but she also likes to pamper and take care of herself. I think the actual products evolved to reflect this character.

In terms of the makeup collection, what does she look like?
Since Hello Kitty does not have a visible mouth, the first quality that came to mind is that she must have lashes that make a statement: They are wispy, flirtatious, and crisscross – because she is all about batting her lashes. It’s so much about the eyes that we did two eye shadow quads that combine classic, more traditional colours such as a smoky, taupe brown and a slightly sparkly black with shades that really pop, like turquoise and a violet, bright plum juxtaposed with coral and a hot, hot pink which is very playful. We incorporated glitter eye liners because she loves anything that twinkles, and we took the coral and hot pink theme and did pretty, poppy blush. Playing on pink is a nod to her girliness but it is less of a baby-pink and more of a grown-up fuchsia shade. To appeal to the younger Hello Kitty fan we created these fabulous lip conditioners in colours like yellow pink and dusky rose that were all over the runways, and made the gloss extremely translucent by taking the heavy pigment out and making it almost see through and dimensional, reminiscent of cellophane. We didn’t think that a matte lip properly represented MAC Hello Kitty’s  eminine nature, so we created products that project glaze and lustre by skipping the sumptuous, sensuous mouth that could be perceived as heavy or campy and opting for light and glossy instead. The collection is for all ages, but it’s about a younger attitude. It is light, fresh and fun.

Tell us more about those sharp lacquered nails.
Nails are very important to her! We’ve created an amazing pepto-pink, and a really special flat gray.
There is also a beautiful stark white. People will love wearing all the shades and they’re absolutely perfect for spring.

And Q & A with James Gager SVP/Creative Director, MAC Worldwide:

Why MAC and Hello Kitty? What is the connection?
First of all, both MAC and Hello Kitty are globally loved. There are Hello Kitty-obsessed fans and MAC addicts, and both represent high-end as well as street fashion, inexpensive items and couture. Each brand represents a pop culture phenomenon. MAC’s incredibly coveted limited edition collections coupled with the public’s 30 plus-year addiction to all things Hello Kitty makes the partnership a no-brainer.

When you first encountered the project, what was your inspiration?
SANRIO didn’t come to us. We went after them! We simply felt that there was a great synergy that existed between us. Of course, we considered the idea that for all of the interesting partnerships they’ve participated in they had never done makeup before, and I was certain that all those women who already own a bit of Hello Kitty would also want to own branded makeup. Hello Kitty is completely universal: Millions of people are in love with her and they can’t get enough.

Who is the MAC Hello Kitty girl?
She is absolutely our customer, and she’s unusual in that she could be 14 or 75 years old. Within that broad range of women (and even men I should say), you’ll find an individual that loves to play with makeup in an offbeat, original way.

The Hello Kitty beauty visuals shot by Nick Knight are stunning. Can you tell us about the two images?
The more ethereal image is of the blonde holding a black vinyl Hello Kitty doll that we’ll sell as part of the accessory line. We were imagining this wonderful, almost Alice in Wonderland – like character with a definite MAC edge, standing there looking at this doll and wondering what she encompasses. If you look at the other visual, it’s more of a dominatrix, va va voom, fetish kind of creature; and each of these two characters is wondering what it might be like to transform into the other, which is how we show that makeup can be incredibly transformative. Overall, it’s an Alice in Wonderland meets Wizard of Oz fairy tale narrative.

There are a lot of fun accessories that will accompany the M·A·C Hello Kitty Colour Collection. How did you come up with the packaging and concepts?
The accessories collection is both cool and affordable. Additionally, we have created Hello Kitty Kouture, a very exclusive, limited edition luxe line done with Swarovski crystals. We worked very closely with Hello Kitty’s parent company, SANRIO, to develop the accessories and the idea behind the line. We have something for everyone! Personally, I love the adorable Hello Kitty Plush Doll, and there’s also a black bracelet with three charms, makeup mirrors, a brush holder, makeup bags, and a tote that’s printed in a Pucci-esque pattern among other items. And that brings me to the packaging of the entire MAC Hello Kitty collection: It’s very graphic and fashion-forward. In fact, all of the makeup colours in the collection have come from runway trends for spring and the collection connotes a very glamourous vibe that plays up the more fashionable aspects of a woman. It’s fun, too. Most importantly, we are certain that this collaboration will put a smile on people’s faces!

Introducing MAC Hello Kitty!

MAC Hello Kitty Colour Collecton: All that’s girly and sparkly. This sophisticated colour story takes its cue from both the fantastical world of Hello Kitty and the glamour of the spring fashion shows. It will feature plush pinks, rich purples, turquoise for extra pop, three-dimensional lickable lips and lashes that were made to bat, all packaged in a sophisticated yet adorable graphic black design to give the line that baaaaaad kitty edge.

MAC paired six playful Lipstick shades with six sparkling Lipglass glosses, two Tinted Lip Conditioners that will have your kisser covered, and two bright and punchy eye quads that can be accented with reflective eye Glitter and Glitter Eye Liners, all of which are perfectly framed by the thickest, most decadent Plush Lash Mascara. Beauty Powder Blush in shades of pink and peach will give the MAC Hello Kitty woman a demure, rosy flush and nails are decorated in fabulous shades of pepto-pink, modern grey and creamy white Nail Lacquer.

She has been a fashion icon for 34 years, has lived in London, is currently a tourism ambassador for Japan, and while her obsessive fan base may be 7-34, there’s no question that she transcends age and generations

She is cute and sweet, but has an edgy side and a celebrity following that would intimidate any Hollywood actor. Hello Kitty continues her reign as an international pop culture phenomenon by stepping into a bold new stride as the face of a glamourous and exclusive collection for none other than MAC Cosmetics.
Somewhere between a coy girl and sexy siren, MAC Hello Kitty represents the desire in all of us to be both innocent and mischievous.

More Angelina Jolie than Shirley Temple, the feisty new colour collection takes its inspiration from the complex, yet elegantly feminine sensibility. In keeping with Hello Kitty’s lifelong mission of putting a smile on your face, it incorporates a collection of exclusive, limited-edition accessories that will appeal to both MAC addicts and Hello Kitty-obsessed fans.

The MAC Hello Kitty packaging is very graphic and fashion-forward, the makeup colours are inspired by what was seen on the runways for spring.
