MAC Cosmetics is to collaborate with Italian fashion designer Giambattista Valli on a collection of lipsticks, due to release in 2015.
There will be five colours in the range: mandarin orange, pale pink, peony pink, rosy red and cherry (matched to a single cherry that Valli showed the MAC team for reference). MAC's usual black packaging has been replaced by coloured tubes that match the colour of the bullet, making them easy to distinguish.
The lipsticks are matte in texture and there is also a lipgloss.
MAC announced the deal on its Instagram page. “The best thing about make-up is that a lipstick can really change your look,” Valli told Vogue. “If you never wear colour on your lips and then one day you wear red, everyone just goes ‘wow!’. I made these for a woman with personality, a woman who lives her life and isn’t afraid to wear colour and isn’t afraid to kiss!”, he said.
