MAC Art Supplies Collection
U.S. Launch Date: April 1st, 2010
International Launch Date: April 2010
Just as Art Supplies for Eyes invokes the vision, Art Supplies for Lips speaks to the ultimate in sensuality….Luscious lips drawn from innovative new Lipstain Markers and Pencils to use like a modern multi-media artist would – design and discover! Incorporating the concept of art tools into the world of M·A·C makeup, these pencils and markers create dramatically different lip looks. New Pro Longwear Lipstain Marker has the doodle-fun of a “pen,” but with sophisticated, light and long-wearing results. It’s all about artistic freedom!
Pro Longwear Lipstain Marker ($16.00 U.S. / $19.00 CDN)
A lightweight lip stain featuring the look and delivery of a colour marker. With its felt-tip nib, it goes on with precision to deliver a sheer, ins tantly abs orbed flush of colour that can last all night. Fills, defines and layers for more colour when wanted. No need for lip liner. All limited edition.

Monday, December 21, 2009more greasepaint sticks?? yes!
jennina
Monday, December 28, 2009Yes! I will be stocking at least two of each greasepaint stick and pearlglide eyeliners!!!
Just love this product so much.
Cant believe it will be available in other colors aside from black. It means I can wear it on my different day and different mood.
Stacey
Monday, December 21, 2009Oh sh*t. This is going to bankrupt me.
neeshie
Monday, December 21, 2009I echo that sentiment. I was going to post the same thing till I saw your post!
aksaiyo
Monday, December 21, 2009same here! I love my greasepaints and all of these sounds so promising! going to get dirty and slick black for sure. I’ll drool at everything else as well!! XD
Cayla
Tuesday, December 22, 2009Lol, I was thinking that as I looked at some of the other spring collections as well…..
And here I was trying to be good…=^P
Yushimi
Friday, March 12, 2010Funny, I thought of the exact same thing LOLZ
Make_up_maven
Tuesday, December 22, 2009Yup! I think I want the entire collection! LOL
Linda
Monday, March 15, 2010Me too! I drool at everything, expecially at Brown,now greasepaint and the brand new prolongwear lipstain markers!!!
Allie
Monday, December 21, 2009Oh, so excited for the greasepaint sticks! I love the ones I have.
viva
Monday, December 21, 2009OMG, look at all the Pearlglides. *drool*
And this really makes me wish I liked the greasepaint sticks better! They sound gorgeous.
Brian Kelly
Monday, December 21, 2009Am I the only one who was only excited by the name because I actually thought
this was going to be about actual art-related tools? I was so hoping MAC would stop with their Pro crap and just make the whole brand available by easier means…
Lorna
Monday, December 21, 2009i agree in that they should just have all products available to everyone. Just give PRO members a discount or something.
Dusty
Tuesday, December 22, 2009What’s Pro only in this collection??? Pro products are available to anyone – You can order them on-line and they are WILDLY good about returns! (trust me, I know from experience) LOL.
I was actually excited about this collection because of the name too though… And disapointed when I saw what they were offering. I was hoping for something more like the C-Shock collection.
I have a question though: Was anyone else as turned off as I was by the D-Squared greasepaint sticks??? They STINK! Smell like oil-based paint and I found that they would flake as they dried, causing little bits of D-Squared greasepaint droppings to fall into your eyes! (And yes, I returned them!) LOL.
Beto Kylie
Friday, March 12, 2010I actually really like them! The only one I’m not that crazy about is the V one because it doesn’t look as purple as I’d like! However, the blue definitely is recognizable as blue and doesn’t get lost when paired with black.
I’ve only used them on the lower lash line, though.
claudia
Monday, December 21, 2009I didnt get them !! But oh, I really want the GPS !!!
Saki
Monday, December 21, 2009oh god…there goes my money.
Roberta
Monday, December 21, 2009I see MAC will be getting my tax return money
Kierstin
Monday, December 21, 2009OMG!!!!!! (GASP) TEAR TEAR!!! MAC Y DID U DO THIS TO ME…. WEL THERE GOES MY B-DAY MONEY!
Christy
Monday, December 21, 2009Greasepaint sticks! Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!! & markers too :) :) Yea, more Pearlglides!
Victoria
Monday, December 21, 2009So excited for all those GPS!
Carla
Monday, December 21, 2009It looks like I might be spending over $100 on Greasepaint sticks. I won’t have an ounce of remorse either!!
cmferrets
Monday, December 21, 2009im very interested to see what the pro lipstain markers are all about! and i am glad to see they are coming with greasepaint sticks. bbut i hate it when mac comes out with a bunch of colors in am item and makes them all LE. WHY? why not just make them permanent… ? they eventually probably will in the future! i wonder if the greasepaint stick colors are gonna be diff from the ones from style black?
Lorna
Monday, December 21, 2009i want more greasepaint sticks. hope the colors come out good.
amy
Monday, December 21, 2009Holy moly! That is a lot of greasepaint sticks! I will pick up a few lip markers for sure.
Helena

stephanie
Monday, December 21, 2009love that there are so many greasepaints coming out! YES!!!
Wilcoa
Monday, December 21, 2009I’m interested in these stains… hope they’re as good as they sound!
yajaira
Monday, December 21, 2009Are the lip stain markers only going to be sold at pro stores?
Christine
Tuesday, December 22, 2009As far as I know, this is a regular launch and not a PRO launch.
yajaira
Monday, December 28, 2009Oh ok…thank you!!!!
Carrie
Monday, December 21, 2009AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

rowan

nasr1n

Ashley

Emma
Tuesday, December 22, 2009It sounds very fun with a new typ of stain :)
jolenz
Tuesday, December 22, 2009Yes! Greasepaint Sticks! Definitely going to grab some of those!
Erica
Tuesday, December 22, 2009aaw.. i seem to be the only one here not crazy about those greasepaint sticks! christine, what can you use them for? and i’m sadly probably gonna only pick up the black one and maybe the gunmetal or violet one :(
Christine
Tuesday, December 22, 2009Base or eyeliner, those are kind of the two big things you can do with ‘em.
ak
Monday, March 15, 2010aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah where are the lipstain markers baby? Yeah!
Anitacska
Friday, March 12, 2010I’ve never used greasepaint sticks, but their name alone (grease – yuck!) puts me off. :P Are the eyeliners as good as the Urban Decay 24/7 ones?
I don’t know if I’ll get anything from this, the lipstain markers don’t excite me either.
jillo
Sunday, March 14, 2010i know how you feel . Grease paint in makeup school was nasty. ..clown makeup, ick. But I hear such good things about these sticks that I might just grab the green one.
Lorna
Tuesday, December 22, 2009Yay! Greasepaint sticks- I want them all.
Maddie
Wednesday, December 23, 2009im so xcited for this collection
MAC has really outdone itself this timee
Kim
Thursday, December 24, 2009im looking forward to the lip satins and greasepaint sticks!
Vijaya
Monday, December 28, 2009I’m going to wind up buying everything, unless MAC really fails with the stains. Gosh, I love those Greasepaint Sticks!
Zinnia
Tuesday, December 29, 2009cant wait for the grease paints ;)
ak
Friday, January 1, 2010As usual everything on here sounds hot and intriguing; all that remains to be seen is which colors’ll suit me.
alyssa
Saturday, January 2, 2010Charred Mauve
Full of flare
Point of view
Stylesetter
Wow I did good lolz I thought I would have wanted more
Cnt wait for the grease sticks yay!
Inna
Sunday, January 3, 2010Hi I wanted to know how you get all these collections ahead of time it is cool.
yajaira
Wednesday, January 6, 2010Awww I wonder if those will be the only pearlglides for this year? I was kinda of hoping they’d bring rave out again (HG for me) and bankroll, which i didnt get….I wonder if undercurrent will be a regular teal color, it says blue teal and well, i know teal is a mix of blue and green Im just hoping it’s not more blue…idk, lol
aMy
Monday, January 18, 2010i am def looking forward to this collection! i heart gps!
Ellie
Friday, January 29, 2010excited for the lip stains!!!
Alison
Sunday, January 31, 2010Wondering what the difference will be between the slick back greasepaint and the black one that came out with Style Black ?
cmferrets
Friday, March 12, 2010yeah me too. i already have the black, violet and blue greasepaints from the style black collection, so how do these new ones diff from them?
i def want to get the grey, green, taupe, bronze, burgundy colors!
Maddie
Tuesday, February 2, 2010WHY MAC im going to go bankrupt :))
civa
Wednesday, February 3, 2010oh I’m gonna need to get some greasepaint sticks!!!
Mia
Sunday, February 7, 2010I can’t wait for swatches of this collection!
ak
Tuesday, February 9, 2010They talked about the lipstain markers when they showed a picture of one of them in the British edition of Vogue in either the January or February issue but they didn’t go into any details and they didn’t say when they’d all be out.
kfm
Wednesday, February 10, 2010I think I’ll need to grab a couple of the greasepaint sticks (greengrease, zinc zone, charred mauve and dirty all sound like they could look great). If I like the feel of the markers, I’d probably go for Runway Ripened.
Rosanna
Tuesday, February 16, 2010I’m excited for the greasepaints – I’d love to use them as eyeshadow bases since MAC isn’t putting out any colour paint pots anymore.
kpenn09
Friday, February 19, 2010Surprisingly, I think that I will get more from this collection than Spring Colour Forecast, MAC to the Beach or Prete a Papier. All of the stains are sounding appealing, as are many of the liners and GPSs.
nadine
Saturday, March 6, 2010When do you think you’ll be able to post photos of the actual product?
nadine
Thursday, March 11, 2010I am looking forward to the grease paint sticks. Not so sure @ the lip stains or the pearl glide liners? Does anyone know where I can view swatches??? Does anyone know where I can buy the Ripe Peach blush ombre or a good substitute? I’m an NC 50. It’s sold out everywhere and I missed it. I could kick myself.
Krys
Friday, March 12, 2010hey…i missed ripe peach too :s but i heard a good dupe is peach nuance by estee lauder.. check it out on the website, its currently out of stock tho
Daphnee
Friday, March 12, 2010Did you check Nordstroms, Dillard and Bloomingdales? I can’t remember if Lord & Taylor sold MAC Cosmetics?
SoVeryFabulous
Friday, March 12, 2010I can’t wait for this collection! I didn’t get any grease paint sticks when they’ve been out in the past, but am looking forward to getting a couple. Yay more pearlglides too!
Claudine
Friday, March 12, 2010Grease Paint Sticks! My ultimate weakness. I can’t wait.
Tanja
Friday, March 12, 2010I was also hoping, they would bring out RAVE again! I need a new one!!!
Rachel
Friday, March 12, 2010I have to pay tuition… This is not good timing. Agh… I guess I’ll have to limit myself to two or three things.
lauraaaaaaaa
Friday, March 12, 2010neeeeeeeed the taupe greasepaint
Chennel
Friday, March 12, 2010I don’t have any of the grease paint sticks from the previous collections. Are they really that great? They seem like they would crease a lot as a base… do they?
Q8Glam
Friday, March 12, 2010exciting
katrina
Friday, March 12, 2010i’m really excited with the lip stains! Can’t wait for this collection =)
Marcie
Friday, March 12, 2010cant wait to see the lipstains!
Casey
Friday, March 12, 2010I’m not big fan of multicolored liners so if I buy anything it’ll probably be the “Slick Black” Greasepaint Stick. I’ve never tried any of these..what are they like? =)
Sarah M
Friday, March 12, 2010Can’t wait. Love greasepaint sticks and pearlglide liners. :-)
Budget Beauty Bombshell
Friday, March 12, 2010I need to see swatches of the pearl glide liners. Does the shimmer transfer & show on the eye? Do they all have shimmer? If so, what color?
What about the wear, what’s it like?
Temptalia I expect all of this in your overall review report. LOL
I count on your awesomely detailed reviews to help me decide what to order. Luv ya girl!
Alix
Friday, March 12, 2010Uh oh, I’m in big trouble with this collection!
Chester
Friday, March 12, 2010This collection will cost me a fortune! But, who am I to complain when this is my chance to stock up on greasepaint sticks and colored liners? *insert innocent look at my bank account* ;-)
silverred09
Friday, March 12, 2010beautiful colors but…. not an interesting collection. i’d say nope.
Virginia
Friday, March 12, 2010Do the greasepaint sticks crease? I’ve never had one of these. Can anyone describe the texture? Are they like shadesticks or paint pots?
Annie
Friday, March 12, 2010Ooh, the purple & navy eyeliners look so pretty! I wanna see the lipmarkers though ^^
Leea
Friday, March 12, 2010WOW!
I will definitely be getting the Zinc Zone and the Charred Mauve Greasepaint sticks,
and the Almost Noir and Undercurrent Pearlglide eyeliners.
They all look beautiful, but unfortunately I promised myself I wouldn’t go crazy on MAC collections this year : ) haha, not doing too well with that right now, but hey I can still work on it!
kcrystal
Friday, March 12, 2010I wonder if the industrial pearlglide liner is similiar to wolf ?
However, the almost noir and deep petrol intrigues me.
LesleyKat
Friday, March 12, 2010MAC is taking me to the poorhouse
JD
Friday, March 12, 2010Yay greasepaint sticks!!!!!!!!!! I am going to try to get them all…I love love love the one I already have.
Alannah
Friday, March 12, 2010YAY NEW EYELINERS!
I am confused by the photo, though, because it looks like there is a green pearlglide on the end, but the names/descriptions don’t include a green liner. I don’t see a black liner in the photo (and there’s one in the descriptions) so maybe there’s a mix-up? I would LOVE a new green liner, that’s the only reason I noticed!
babicsek
Friday, March 12, 2010OMG these look so amazing:D
Meg
Friday, March 12, 2010I was hoping those were shadesticks and not greasepaints because the colors are lovely but the greasepaints just don’t work with my eyelids! The lipstains are very interesting though!
audrey
Friday, March 12, 2010MAC IS BREAKING MY BANK!!! The liberty of london, the art supplies, pret a papier!!! I AM BROKE!!
liana
Friday, March 12, 2010How do these greasepaint sticks wear? are they like shadesticks? Im more concerned if they crease?
Alexis
Friday, March 12, 2010Yay more greasesticks and pearlglide eyeliners. I love my Molasses and Fly by Bleu eyeliners and I would love to see all of these colors in person!
Dana
Friday, March 12, 2010Ooo! I want the Almost Noir Pearlglide liner!
Norma
Friday, March 12, 2010Oh thank god i don’t want anything from this one, well at least none of the grease paint sticks.
I bought some a while back from the Dsquared2 collection and i cant stand the way they smell, i wonder if it was just the ones i had boughten??
idk. =\
cmferrets
Friday, March 12, 2010yeah the greasepaint sticks DO smell funky, mine do anyways from the style black collection. i thought i was the only one , i smelt it and what like “what the frike” but i love the colors so oh well! i hpe they do change the smell, cuz my eyes dont want to smell like a tire.
Dusty
Saturday, March 13, 2010That’s what I was talking about it my post on here! I HATE the way these smell! Anyone who paints would recognize the smell right away as oil-based paint. ICK!!!! Yuk Yuk Yuk!
I actually found the ones from DSquared to flake a bit too – I used the blue one on myself and in five minutes I was getting flakes of paint-stick IN MY EYE! It was most uncomfortable.
Vanessa
Friday, March 12, 2010Drooling over the greasepaint sticks!!
Kerri
Friday, March 12, 2010Holy crap! I might need a second job for this one. I’ll wait for swatches on the lipstains but I know I’m getting all the greasepaints and pearlglides. I’m gonna cry because of how broke I’ll be but rolling around in all my new stuff will make me feel better though.
Lynniekae
Friday, March 12, 2010I’m sold on the greasepaint and liners. Not a fan of lipstains, so at least with this collection, I won’t do too much damage.
Sharon
Friday, March 12, 2010Lots of stuff I want from this collection… adding it up in my head it will cost over $200 CDN. Yikes! :)
Ashley
Friday, March 12, 2010I am totally buying Zinc Zone, Dirty, Brown Now, and Below Ground.
Alex
Friday, March 12, 2010I heart me some lip stains!!! wish there were pictures! This will be my b-day present to myself (04/07). I play up my lips more so the eye stuff doesnt grab me.
viv
Friday, March 12, 2010omg all the pearlglides. I am in so much trouble… eyeliner is my kryptonite.
Mia
Friday, March 12, 2010i might have to get all the pearlglides… -_-
Miss_Rona
Friday, March 12, 2010Dear MAC, you’re the reason I work overtime..hahahaha.
Alice
Friday, March 12, 2010Is it possible to sharpen greasepaint sticks?
Samantha
Saturday, March 13, 2010If you pull out the bottom it has a sharpener on it !
Tina
Saturday, March 13, 2010no pictures of the lip stains?
aradhana
Saturday, March 13, 2010the greasepaint sticks….looking forward to dirty, and maybe the black one. the black from dsquared2 turns a bit blue on me…
does anyone know what the model in the pic is wearing on her eyes?
Rosa
Saturday, March 13, 2010I have never used grease sticks…what exactly do you do with them. Are they like shade sticks or they just eyeliners?
aradhana
Saturday, March 13, 2010they’re a bit of a cross between the two…they’re a lot softer than shadesticks — i find they go on smoother. they can be used as liners or lid colour/base.
Rosa Napoleon
Thursday, March 18, 2010thanks…I really like the colors. I would probably used them as a base. I see several I might pick. Gunmetal looks great.
Kalee
Saturday, March 13, 2010im liking the sound of:
Greengrease
Zinc Zone
Slick Black
Charred Mauve
…..oh crap. my wallet is going to HATE me.
Kalee
Saturday, March 13, 2010ANDDDD i have that day off of work too, sooo…….guess how early im getting to the mall?
Vijaya
Saturday, March 13, 2010I want everything. xD
Helena
Saturday, March 13, 2010Excited :DD
Rosie
Sunday, March 14, 2010What is a greasepaint and how is it used?
Chiara
Sunday, March 14, 2010Love the pearglide pencils! And I’m glad they are repromoting greasepaints, I didn’t get one when they first came out but after hearing so many good reviews, I’ll probably buy one.
ms.mad
Sunday, March 14, 2010do you think they used greengrease for the promo pic? love th e look. thanks
kenneth alan
Sunday, March 14, 2010I regretted not buying a greasepaint stick from the style black collection so i’ll definitely be picking up a few of those
mars
Sunday, March 14, 2010I am buying every single thing from this collection. Greasepaint sticks I love as an eyeshadow (work quickly using a 242 brush directly from the tip). I didn’t know for months about the sharpener hidden in the base of them and now they’re my favorite to line with. I’ve tried the lip markers and they are amazing. A perfect stain that stayed put all day long and never faded or feathered 7 it doesn’t have any texture to it!!
Sarah
Monday, March 15, 2010whats a greasepaint stick???
ocelot1
Monday, March 15, 2010eeee!!!! this is the collex ive been waiting for. i love love LOVE greasepaint sticks! these need to be made perm for sure…
