All about: M.A.C Cosmetics X Nicki Minaj

I love a poppin’ lip, and they didn’t come much bolder and brighter than Nicki Minaj’s pink-tastic creation with M.A.C for the VIVA GLAM 2012 campaign. An ultra bright, yellow-toned pink with a satin finish, it was the perfect choice for a statement lip and just a hell of a lot of fun, and quickly became one of the top selling Viva Glam collections of all time.

With that in mind, it was not that much of a surprise when M.A.C n’ Minaj mentioned late last night that they have collaborated again, and their newest custom-designed creations look set to be just as massive, if not more! A little while ago Nicki went through quite the epic make-under process, swapping her usual cartoonish, neon aesthetic for a more neutral, sleek vibe, and the world went nuts. Her two new M.A.C lipstick creations echo this vibe, and look thus far incredibly wearable for almost any skin tone. They come in the form of Nicki’s Nude and The Pinkprint, creamy mocha neutrals that the singer is often seen wearing. Nicki’s Nude is a soft corally pink, whilst The Pinkprint is a mid-tone creamy pink. The finish for both is Amplified.
