Care Blends Essential Oils in Sweet Orange + Lavender, or Grapefruit + Chamomile feels soothing and sultry when elements are harsh and extreme…add MAC signature innovation with Mineralize All-Over Moisture Lotion, a new permanent product, and see new radiance, revivified lustre, optimum health. Like going on retreat and communing with nature, it’s an earthly way to bring back what the city takes away, and a sensual solution to make life simple, but luxurious. Winter beauty begins here.

Q: What’s so special about Halloween?
A: Halloween is exhilarating makeup time! It’s the time of year when you can let all your alter egos come out! Whether your thing is drag, scary monsters or celebrity impersonations, just have fun!

Q: What are you planning to be for Halloween?
A: I don’t dress up! I just love watching all the action in the streets. I live in the East Village in New York, and the fun part is just watching everybody come out and play. Even if sometimes it’s hard to tell if it’s a Halloween look or just a colourful neighbour.

From villainous vamps to dolled-up demons, M∙A∙C Senior Artists Bianca Alexander, Luc Bouchard, Keri Blair, Sandy Joseph and Chantel Miller revel in the ghouls – and glamour – of Halloween

Q: What are the products you most often use during Halloween?
A: I would say I love MAC Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer as a base. That way, you basically have a blank canvas and you can create anything you want. Also, all the MAC Pro Lipmix colours are great if you want very rich, creamy colours that will make a statement. Prep + Prime finishing powder can set anything into place and make it last all night.

MAC Magic Mirth And Mischief

Brush Bags

The Magician’s tricks are all in the bag – a sleight of hand that provokes the question, “How did you do that?” The answers have been gathered together in three different techniques, with three different effects: Do-the-Trick Buff and Line Brushes, containing 168SE, 187SE, 209SE, 219SE and 252SE tools; Wave Of A Wand Sweep and Define Brushes, holding 129SE, 190SE, 212SE, 227SE, 275SE tools; and finally, Morning, Noon & Knight Everything Eye Brushes with 194SE, 204SE, 224SE, 266SE and 275SE tools. All sparkle with the irresistible spirit and decorative shine of the season.

High-tone metallic bags for Lips and Eyes, everything you need to make mirth, all in one place. Get your hands on Put A Spell On You Pink or House Of Mirth Deep Lip Bags, all with Lipstick, Lip Pencil and Dazzleglass in tow. Add Naughty Noir and Alakazam! Chocolate Eye Bags, both with Fluidline and 209SE Brush, Pigment and Zoom Lash accoutrements. lip eye and face kits Eight precociously pretty new holiday kits, presented and packaged with bubbly optimism, sophisticated and amusing as a New Yorker cartoon. For Eyes: 6 Devil May Dare Warm Eye Shadows, 6 Mystic Cool Eye Shadows, 6 Smoke and Mirrors Eye Shadows, and 6 Sorceress Eye Shadows. For lips: Heavenly Dish Neutral Lip Kit and Possessed by Pink! Lip Kit. Finally for face: Hocus Focus Colourful Face Kit and Fab-racadabra Bronze Face Kit. Each a world of wonder, to collect and give – but only to the most delightful of the deserving.

MAC Dazzleglass Creme: Flashing flecks of lustrous glimmer give lips a new kind of high-beam shine, while the balm-effect of the pillow-top comfort creme keeps the supple going and going.

Ultra-luxurious, no sticky smack or drag, Aloe and Vitamin E enriched, keeps lips lightweight but strong-willed, for long-lustre, ultimate luminosity. Wear it alone for medium-sheer, dewy coverage…. For dazzle with absolute comfort, it’s better than brilliant. And the accompanying applicator brush is a dream.

MAC DSQUARED2: Every season the fashion crowd is up and on the run, crazy for the fierce and sexy fun we’ve come to expect from designers Dan and Dean Caten, the Canadian twins who know how to pack a punch – and throw a party! With their haute hi-jinx and body-beautiful clothes for boys and girls, a collaboration with MAC simply could NOT be avoided!

“DSquared² and MAC are on the same trip!” says Dan. It starts with a strong, sooty, blackest-ever wild-child eye… a new Greasepaint Stick also in blue and violet versions, and Pro Gloss to create it. Neutral and perfected skin will get more drama with highlighting and low lighting from Sculpt and Shape Powders and the 165 Tapered Cheek/Highlight Brush all the better to achieve it. And finally, the totally nude Pro Lip Erase does its stuff, followed by a light Lipstick and Lip Conditioner to put the lilt and lift back in…. But the cynosure of this season’s scintillating collaboration is the daring, dramatic, slightly demented DSquared² eye. Have fun with it!
