See more photos!
OMG! I'm excited~! bright colors, please!
i ALSO JU
I'm not a fan of Beth Ditto and the promo pic looks like it will give me nightmares. I'll pass. I'm all for female empowerment with class, and Beth Ditto does not do it for me. But then again, MAC's collaborations in the past few years have not shown any discrimination in favor of taste.
omg i la la love beth ditto! so excited to see this collection!
I think people need to keep in mind that MAC, being an international company that aims to reach all races, all genders, and all styles, not EVERY campaign is going to be something that appeals to one specific group or individual. But the comments such as "ick" or "classless" are really uncalled for. There's nothing icky or classless about makeup. And that's really all this is. It's not like Ditto is going to smear her body odor over every eyeliner or pan of eyeshadow. Come on. Let's be realistic here. Ditto is known for her off the wall fashion choices and throw back makeup styles that are reflective of 70's/80's punk era, as well as disco. In all honesty, if you appreciate color and luxe you may very well end up appreciating what this collection has to offer (perhaps with the exception of eyeshadows based on MAC's recent string of poor pigmentation in such). I'm not saying people need to sway their opinion of Beth Ditto. Hate her all you want if it makes you happy. Just try to have an open mind about what the collection has to offer. Deciding to hate this campaign overall because of the person attached to it is silly. And really, you might just miss out on your new favorite lippy or liner.
Well said. :)
I agree. Class is something that has almost always been associated with money, wealth and privilege. Coming from a background of poverty I really respect that she took that punk, gritty aesthetic and used it to push back on the whole "classy, ladylike" ideal that really, was implemented by men to keep women in line.
um.. this is horrifying and does not make me want to know more about this collection...
I dont know who Beth Ditto is....but just looking at the picture alone appears to be artistic but really weird for a renown makeup company....those blue dots reminds of something contagious.....not something attractive for me to buy makeup.
O.M.G.... is it me or does that lipstick look similar to "petals and peacocks"/"gladiola"??!!! Ah! Repromote please!
Yeah, Beth! Lol@ "classy" comments.
Ooh, yes! Love me some Ditto. Can't wait to see the product list.
Hot dang! Beth Ditto & MAC collaberating?!! I am so ready for this collection. I wish we didn't have to wait until June. I love how creative the promo photo is. I love that MAC goes unconvential. They chose to work with people from all walks of life. All ages. All sizes. All ethnicities. I don't see too many other cosmetic companies doing the same. That is why I heart MAC so hard. Keep up the amazing work MAC.
Well, they have not worked with a person of colour yet.... We need an Alek Wek collection.
@Sexy Sadie. I agree. Or even Grace Jones!
Sooo... I guess I'm the only one who doesn't know who this is.
I don't know her. You are not alone!
I didn't know who Beth Ditto was, so I had to google her. I am very psyched for this collection. I'm hoping for some more dramatic colors and some purple lippies.
I am so excited for this if only because I love Beth Ditto! I think it's so amazing that were getting someone so unapologetic about who they and what they do and is so badass as being a singer in a rock band! I think it's a great to bring back MAC's more alternative, edgy essence.
Ick, Beth Ditto? No class at all.
Woah... that picture is so cool/freaky/weird!! The more I look at it the more it freaks me out!
I spy another matte blue-pink lipstick on the horizon.
I'm over all of these "MAC for X" collections. They've all been really underwhelming.
As am I Gina! These celebrity-helmed mini campaigns seem like a poor use of company resources. It seems to make more business sense for MAC to invest time and money into developing new, high quality products, or improving existing ones, rather than spending resources on marketing a small campaign that consumers will likely forget about soon after the release. On a side note, several of these more recent mini campaigns have been announced as "MAC for Beth Ditto/MAC for Daphne Guinness" etc. rather than " for MAC". The latter is the correct form as MAC is the company with the product release, and the person being involved in that particular campaign is a guest contributor rather than the brand themselves. What can I say, an irrepressible pet peeve for a MAC devotee such as myself! :)
Eh, I guess it'll be interesting. I would have rather seen an Adele collection.
WHO?????????? :\
I am curious to see this!!!
Her nails are FLYYYYYYY.
I love Beth Ditto and have for years. She holds space for a different narrative of femme/feminine, and I look forward to this collection!
I don't know,got a strange theory but bare with me here, I somehow suspect that the Penultimate Eyeliner is involved with this.
OH EM GEE! I love Beth!
Love the promo pic. Looks like a Picasso (=
Ugggh, Beth Ditto? Yuck. They could at least do someone a little more classier
"More classier"? Do I even need to comment on this? Beth is amazing as an artist and a person.
So licking your foot on the cover of Rolling Stone makes you an amazing person...?
I guess Nicki Minaj and Venomous Villains and Wonder Women represent Class for you.
YAY!
Yaaay! I'm looking forward to it!
I love Beth Ditto! I wonder what her MAC will be like? I imagine very strong pinks, blues, and yellows, and a black cat-eye... just guessing.
the promo pic is somewhat frightening to me :<
Conversation from Facebook
Not feeling this collection at all. :(
I'm actually pretty stoked for this one. :) I'm seeing a lot of pink nudes and soft colors that I adore!
So excited! Looks so fun! Even though I love colors I think this time, I'm just gonna get the You're Perfectly Already and In Synch liner
another mac collection?nooooooooooooo
Thank you for disabling comments. There were some pretty nasty classist comments floating around. Definitely not cool. That said, I expected the collection to be a bit more exciting. This seems kind of phoned in and tame for Ditto.
Love Beth ditto.
It's ok, not really my cup of tea. Christine have you heard any news for the upcoming Marilyn Monroe collection?
Loooove it!!!
A wild Ditto appeared! Go, Charizard!
Looks like one of their quick throw it together collections!
