Date: December 10, 2009 - Posted in: By MAC Cosmetics, Spring 2010

MAC From Our Lips Collection

On February 25th, MAC will launch its newest Viva Glam campaign called, “From Our Lips,” which will feature Viva Glam Gaga Lipstick and Viva Glam Cyndi Lipstick. Both Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper are the newest confirmed faces of MAC’s AIDS Fund.

Cyndi Lauper and Lady Gaga have been named the latest faces of the MAC AIDS Fund. The newest campaign, dubbed “From Our Lips,” will break on Feb. 25. MAC Viva Glam Gaga Lipstick and Viva Glam Cyndi Lipstick, $14 each, will launch in North America on March 18 and globally throughout the month, with 100 percent of the proceeds being donated to the MAC AIDS Fund. The MAC AIDS Fund has invested more than $150 million to organizations in more than 67 countries since its founding in 1994. — WWD / Image

Thanks to all our lovely readers who shared the image with us!! :)

Please remember… to respect (not necessarily agree) everyone’s opinions and people in general–even if they’re famous.  Temptalia is a positive space! :)  At the end of the day, Viva Glam is about promoting awareness about HIV/AIDS and celebrities are a great way to draw attention to the cause and encourage people to purchase one of the many shades of Viva Glam lipstick and lipgloss–all of which go towards the MAC AIDS Fund.

    I love both GaGa and Cyndi…Gaga is just a younger version of Cyndi. What an awesome COLAB! Love.

    Does that mean that there will be 2 new shades of Viva Glam??? :-)

      I certainly hope that there will be new shades of Viva Glam. I didn’t like the color and finish of Viva Glam VI, and I couldn’t see Dita von Teese, who was a spokesmodel for Viva Glam VI, wearing that shade!

        Viva Glam VI with Redd, Cherry or Brick Lip Liner becomes an amazing pinup girl red worthy of Ms. Von Teese

    I think Lady Gaga would make a wonderful spokesperson for MAC.

    hello christine
    yest i mailed u coz m going for shopping today so pls help me with this m writing it here again –

    hello christine
    its rashmi again with a question
    what is the difference between
    iridescent powder / loose
    and
    select sheer / loose
    i am nc 40 my hubby dont like foundation on me but
    he really liked when i applied margin blush
    tell me can i use loose powder over that if
    i dont apply foundation
    and which one to go for ???
    and pls tell me good tinted moisturizer
    last time u told me abt mac but m still confused
    pls tell me …

      Hi Rashmi,

      Iridescent has shimmer in it, so it’s not like a foundation or a setting powder. I’d recommend Select Sheer or Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder for a loose powder. P+P Transparent Finishing Powder goes on invisible, basically, but it acts like a loose powder. You can definitely use Select Sheer or the P+P even if you don’t wear foundation.

      I like Korres or Kiehl’s Tinted Moisturizers best. MAC put out one recently, but it’s a bit thick for my liking.

      • rashmi

        Tuesday, November 3, 2009

        thanks christine
        now i remember in ur foundation tutorial i think u used prep + prime
        in the last
        yeah i will buy that only
        and for tinted moisturizer i think may be next time when sephora or mac will have sale hahahah

    Nothin’ personally against Lady Gaga But i’m quite disappointed w/MAC’s choice on using her. Someone CLASSY like Cyndi Lauper is a better fit.

    • txikitximeleta

      Thursday, November 5, 2009

      Totally agree, for me she’s not a good option.

    • Legend

      Sunday, November 8, 2009

      She’s been a headache to work with and she’s a flash in the pan. We won’t know anything about her when she disappears in a couple of years.

      Cindy is an ICON. I don’t doubt she’ll get re-signed for the next campaign.

    • Stacey

      Thursday, December 10, 2009

      I agree wholeheartedly.

    • Evelyn

      Thursday, December 10, 2009

      Disagree, hahaha but Lady Gaga would make a wonderful spokesperson
      She has many meaningful things to say, even in her songs though it doesn’t seem like it. you just need to look for the messages!
      Even though she doesn’t always have the most amount of clothing on, she does have an air of grace and maturity if you’ve seen any of her interviews
      She was amazing at the march for gay rights and she’s so genuine. When she performed, she said “I’m not going to perform one of my songs because this is about you”
      I think she genuinely and truly supports this cause
      She may not be considered an icon YET…but I think she’s well on her way there! Besides…who else can actually SING (you NEED to hear her live), write their own songs, and come up with their own performance concepts nowadays on top of being totally different, 100% entertaining and pretty to boot haha

        I agree with you, Lady Gaga is just amazing. She has pure talent.

    can’t wait to see swatches of the new viva glam colors….. yeah!!!!

  10. sonjiya

    Tuesday, November 3, 2009

    yay new viva glams! well, from the history of that line, mac has always chosen interesting and unique artists to launch the lipstick..i’m all for cyndi lauper, but lady gaga? i dunno..is she really suited for being a mac spokesmodel? i’m sure there are other fabulous ladies in today’s music scene that would have done it better…but i guess we’ll have to wait and see!

  11. Bridgette

    Tuesday, November 3, 2009

    Yay!!! Lady gaga as the new Viva Glam spokesgirl! Can’t wait to see what the new lipstick shades will be like.

  12. Princesa Livia

    Tuesday, November 3, 2009

    Omygosh!! I CANT WAIT!! Def buying both!!

  13. DevilishDoll

    Tuesday, November 3, 2009

    I will never even consider buying anything that has to do with Lady GagMe. She is beyond disgusting.

    • Aurora

      Friday, November 6, 2009

      LOL!!

    • Ceriene

      Friday, December 11, 2009

      :/ She’s advocating a campaign that will donate to the MAC AIDs fund.

      That makes her, at the very least, a decent person. Show a little respect.

      • Vijaya

        Friday, December 11, 2009

        Seconded. It’s beyond bizarre to me that because someone doesn’t like Lady Gaga, they would make it a reason not to contribute to a charity for people with AIDS JUST because she’s their spokeswoman. It’s not like this is for making HER money–it’s about the charity.

        Not to mention, I’m no fan of Lady Gaga myself. I just don’t like the lack of perspective people have when worthy causes involve celebrities they don’t like.

  14. Evelyn

    Tuesday, November 3, 2009

    lady gaga AND mac?? i guess i pretty much HAVE to get the lipstick even if its a colour i cant wear haha

  15. kayla

    Tuesday, November 3, 2009

    Lady Gaga writes really poor music. She also tries too hard to push the envelope with her fashion. Honestly, most of the things she wears are plain ugly, not groundbreaking. This is a makeup blog, why aren’t we talking about how ugly that same old black eye is on her. Or we could talk about what she might look like without cake face! (shudders) Poor choice MAC.

    • Ceriene

      Friday, December 11, 2009

      If you don’t like her music and fashion, keep it to yourself. Like you said, this is a make up blog. Let’s talk about the Viva Glam lip colors, rather than criticizing a celebrity that you don’t like.

      Christine’s never gone and made fun of star’s choices in make up, cake face or no. Keep it positive, or at least, about the lipsticks in question. A little maturity, please.

    wow this is exciting I’m sooo happy hope the colors are a little better as well

  17. Ellen K

    I LOVE Lady Gaga! Her make up is always awesome/different!

    I am SO excited for this :D hopefully the new shades are bright and crazy

  20. abbyL

    Tuesday, November 3, 2009

    does anyone know (or have guesses) as to what the colors will be like? i *think* i read somewhere that the lady gaga color was supposed to be something in between st germain and snob, which sounds AMAZING… my fingers are crossed.

    • Melissa

      Thursday, December 10, 2009

      It seems to me that the colors will probably be what they’re wearing in this ad photo. Gaga has a deep red one in her hand but she’s wearing a bright pink. Cyndi is wearing the red Gaga is holding.

    Tuesday, November 3, 2009

    Cool ! Hope therell be two new shades …. and hopefully bright and bold colors !!

  22. Sasha B

    theyre not in a pallette correct? 2 individual lip sticks?

  23. Christy

    Tuesday, November 3, 2009

    Ooh, Cyndi! Miss her, hope she puts out a new album sometime soon.

  24. Wilcoa

    Tuesday, November 3, 2009

    Love Cyndi!!!!!! Will get! (not sure about the Gaga one, personally no a fan but, you know, if the shade is nice… ;P)

  25. Tanya

    Tuesday, November 3, 2009

    OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVE both of these ladies! I think they are both really super duper cool persons,I am not a huge fan of Lady Gagas music but I can recognize her amazing talent as an artist and as a brand…and having grown up with Girls Just Wanna Have fun, I cannot help but love Cindi :) I cannot wait to see swatched and suppost MAC in helping fight AIDS/HIV.

  26. Bonnie

    Tuesday, November 3, 2009

    Ooooo, YAY! I love both, esp. Gaga… I cant wait for the colors… I hope theyre interesting, the sort of thing those two would wear.

  27. Alyson

    Tuesday, November 3, 2009

    I dont get the dislike for Gaga as a Viva Glam spokesmodel. Who could BE more appropriate than someone who is all for gender bending and makeup for everyone everywhere any gender any race? I think shes a perfect choice, personally.

    • Candi

      Tuesday, November 3, 2009

      I agree!!!

    • kpenn

      Wednesday, November 4, 2009

      I totally agree! I think it’s a match made in heaven!

      Hopefully somebody she’ll have a whole collection with MAC. I’m just about drooling just thinking about it…

    • Autumn

      Wednesday, November 4, 2009

      well said!

    • Sarah

      Thursday, December 10, 2009

      Her and Cyndi are big supporters of GLBT rights, which includes HIV awareness. I think it’s the perfect fit.

    • Ceriene

      Friday, December 11, 2009

      THANK YOU. Well said.

  28. Jacquelyn

    Wow! This sounds very interesting!! I’m getting both shades for sure!

    I adore lady GaGa :) I knew it would be a matter of time before she worked with MAC- I hope the color is something new and wearable =D

  30. laura

    i hope they’re purpley :)

  31. NuNu

    Please please please please can Lady Gaga’s be that opaque nude pink that she sports all the time.
    Please, I beg you.

  32. carriespooner

    Wednesday, November 4, 2009

    I LOVE GAGA! She’s a perfect fit for MAC. How can you look at her and not see that! She’s the embodiment of MAC.

    I saw on PerezHilton that she was wearing a very
    Barbie pink Lippie in the announcement. I wonder if it’s the VG Gaga color.

  33. Amy

    Thursday, November 5, 2009

    I am all over it! Love Gaga, love Cyndi! I can’t wait to see what their shades look like!!!

  34. Judy

    Friday, November 6, 2009

    Love them both!! I’m a MAC lipstick-aholic, I can’t wait. I agree with Laura, I hope they are purpley shades!!!!

    Lady Gaga <3333 I love her!

  36. Lorna

    Saturday, November 7, 2009

    wow! people are very polar on this topic; either they love lady gaga or they hate her. i am interested in seeing the new colors myself. i can’t wait either way.

  37. Rob

    Saturday, November 7, 2009

    I’ve seen the visual in one of our PR booklets at work, in relatively large scale (a full A4 page) and the Gaga shade looks like St Germain / Snob but more Amplified or Cremesheen in texture and the Cyndi shade is reminiscent of Red She Said lippy, but a little more plummed-out perhaps? They are both limited life colours (not an official VG #7) on counter for 12-months (like the rotating semi-permanent mineralise eyeshadows). Words cannot describe how flippin’ excited I am about having Gaga theme days at work in April (Aust release date is April 12th)!

  38. Ali

    Saturday, November 7, 2009

    I’m really excited for these to come out! Definitely picking up both!

  41. Helena

    I have a feeling that Gaga will be purple.

  42. Silvia

    Tuesday, November 10, 2009

    i just hope the new Viva Glam lipstick is not a luster.i prefer a matte, frost or satin.

  43. Greta

    Saturday, November 14, 2009

    SOOO excited :D !

  44. Cindy

    Sunday, November 15, 2009

    AH! This is a dream come true. I love ‘em both. Can’t wait to buy :)

  45. cloudburst

    Monday, November 16, 2009

    Not a fan of Lady Gaga – but she’s a perfect spokes model for the brand. I hope the colours are really nice.

  46. Jill

    Thursday, November 19, 2009

    I love Lady Gaga! I don’t wear lipstick too often, but I’m going to have to buy that! It’s a good cause.

  47. Camryn

    Tuesday, November 24, 2009

    Does anybody know what shades these two ladies will be doing for Viva Glam? I can’t wait!! I hope they are bold/rich colors and not something that we have seen before.

  48. Bella

    Wednesday, November 25, 2009

    Is it possible to pre-order these lipsticks?!

  49. Missy D
