Beauty news: M.A.C X Zac Posen to hit February ‘16

I know it doesn’t take much to get me excited when I hear the word “M.A.C”, but their collaborations of late have been above and beyond awesome. News of the Charlotte Olympia collection really got me dizzy with delight, but I think the announcement of Zac Posen X M.A.C has officially pushed me over the edge!

After dazzling women with his modern but timeless designs on the runway for 13 years, New York designer Posen is presenting his debut colour collection for M.A.C. x Zac Posen is one of their most perfect, makes-total-sense partnerships yet. The designer has never been shy about his love of old Hollywood glamour, which takes the form of the red lips, winged eyes and sparkly shadow that M.A.C. makeup artists have created backstage at his shows each season. Come February, the wait for the collaboration between the two is over and you can stock your bag with inky liquid liner, deep red lipstick, a purple eye palette, a bronzer/blush duo and more.   

"Over the past 15 years I have learned a great deal from M.A.C. about beauty,” says Posen. “Fashion and beauty go hand-in-hand and I have always wanted to create a makeup collection to complement my designs and brand. It was only natural to work with M.A.C. to create my first ever signature collection. I wanted to keep it luxurious, a little mysterious and clean with a large dose of star wattage.” Hallelujah to that!

M.A.C Senior Vice President/Group Creative Director James Gager is also clearly pretty damn excited about the whole thing too, saying: "Zac Posen has been a part of the M.A.C family for over 15 years, as we’ve been supporters from his first very first collection in 2001.  Zac’s classic designs and deft hand in draping, textures and overall femininity evoke a kind of throwback glamour that still feels modern. This collection is the perfect encapsulation of both of our worlds, with something sophisticated and sexy for every woman out there.”

Bring on February 2016, huh?
