MAC Viva Glam x Keith Haring Collection

Release Date + About the Launch

Join the VIVA GLAM movement! This year’s celebration of our iconic giveback program honours Keith Haring’s artistic and philanthropic legacy.

Since 1994, M·A·C VIVA GLAM has raised OVER $500,000,000 globally – and counting! Celebrate 27 years of giving back 100% with three special-edition Lipsticks in Keith Haring’s signature primary colour palette. The artistic parallels between Haring and M·A·C are evident: Haring’s inimitable street pop art sprang into the epicentre of New York’s artistic subculture in the 1980s, right when M·A·C launched as the definitive rule-breaking Artistry brand. It’s our communal belief in equal rights and healthy futures for all that forms the most meaningful message for M·A·C VIVA GLAM x Keith Haring.

“As one of the most disruptive beauty campaigns of all time, M·A·C VIVA GLAM set the standard for giving back within the industry thanks to the support of provocative powerhouse talent, our Artists and community,” says John Demsey, Chairman of the M·A·C VIVA GLAM Fund and Executive Group President, The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. “For our 27th anniversary, we’re thrilled to honour the late iconic artist Keith Haring and carry forward his mission of using his imagery to drive positive change for those most in need of support. He was a true visionary who used his talent for purpose. While he sadly passed during the height of the epidemic, we are so proud that his iconic art and philanthropy lives on through VIVA GLAM.”

“Keith Haring was a good-natured, astute, symbolist artist who drew with the most minimal lines some of the best assets of human nature – symbols that everyone could read,” says Debbie Harry, former M·A·C Cosmetics VIVA GLAM Ambassador. “His optimism and humour were always there in his lines.”

Three special-edition Lipsticks in Keith Haring’s signature primary colour palette in Matte and Frost finishes come together for this year’s VIVA GLAM collection. Each work of pop art is expressed through Keith Haring’s symbolic street-style imagery. 100% of the selling price of VIVA GLAM Lipstick sold in the US is donated to the M·A·C VIVA GLAM Fund, supporting healthy futures and equal rights for all. When you buy any VIVA GLAM Lipstick, 100% of the selling price goes to support local organizations supporting women and girls, the LGBTQIA+ community and people living with or affected by HIV/AIDS.

Celebrating 15 Years of Temptalia with ColourPop

Christine — Tue, 26 Oct 2021 17:05:31 +0000

As they say… time flies when you’re having fun! Can you believe it’s been 15 years since I started Temptalia? Who would have thought back in 2006 that this would be anything resembling a long-lasting career?! It’s such a surreal moment to be here after 15 years and be able to celebrate the occasion with my dear readers! Thank you for still visiting, reading, and engaging with me here on the blog!

I wanted to do something special to commemorate the occasion, and I thought it’d be neat to go into the archives and work with a brand to bring back products that were long-lost favorites (from myself and from readers) based on data points like most loved, most wanted, products users still looking up to find dupes for, what is more unique/interesting, and so on and so forth. I reached out to ColourPop to see if they were game, and they were!

We weren’t able to bring back every single most wanted product on my list (look, I gave them the kitchen sink; my philosophy was might as well ask… the worst outcome would be no! like you can bet I tried for Getty!), but I think we hit on some really fun shades! A metallic red lip for the upcoming holiday season… a blue-based purple shadow…

These 10 returning shades will be available for a limited time (30 days) beginning today, October 26th, at 10AM PT. You can also get 20% off using code TEMPTALIA at this time!

Super Shock Shadow, $6.00 (Limited Edition)

Truth Satin beige
Koosh Metallic, silvery beige
Rest More Vivid, shimmering violet (previously only available in an ultra-limited edition mega set!)
Donna Shimmery emerald green

Super Shock Cheek, $8.00 (Limited Edition)

Voile Pearly copper (this ended up being brought back earlier this year as well, so you’ll have another chance to snag it)
Parallel Pearly cotton candy pink with contrasting shimmer
Spoon Pearly champagne beige with multi-colored shimmer

Lippie Stix, $7.00 (Limited Edition)

Climax Matte deep purple (Matte X)
Girl Gang Mid-tone, grungy brown
Let’s Play Metallic blue-based red

You’ll also find some currently-available products that are either ones I love or shades that have been popular with readers as well! These include:

Palettes: The Child, Going Coconuts, Just My Luck, Lush Life
Super Shock Shadows: Frog, Moonwalk, Free Reign, Amaze
