MAC DSquared Collection
MAC Cosmetics DSquared Collection
Every season the fashion crowd is up and on the run, crazy for the fierce and sexy fun we’ve come to expect from designers Dan and Dean Caten, the Canadian twins who know how to pack a punch – and throw a party!
With their haute hi-jinx and body-beautiful clothes for boys and girls, a collaboration with M·A·C simply could NOT be avoided! “DSquared² and M·A·C are on the same trip!” says Dan. It starts with a strong, sooty, blackest-ever wild-child eye… a new Greasepaint Stick also in blue and violet versions, and Pro Gloss to create it. Neutral and perfected skin will get more drama with highlighting and low lighting from Sculpt and Shape Powders and the 165 Tapered Cheek/Highlight Brush all the better to achieve it. And finally, the totally nude Pro Lip Erase does its stuff, followed by a light Lipstick and Lip Conditioner to put the lilt and lift back in….
But the cynosure of this season’s scintillating collaboration is the daring, dramatic, slightly demented DSquared² eye. Have fun with it! This collection brings us to the Ziegfeld Follies by way of Grey Gardens, a bit dishevelled, a litt le Girl Interrupted, both dramatically hip and dangerously sexy.

See more promotional photos…
ahhh im excited for this!
I can’t wait!
Lip erase, the 165 and contour/highlight duo!!!
Same here 🙂
just a head up. lip erase is a a permanate at the PRO so yep 😛
have a good day
I have the Blood Red lipstick, it’s awesome!
yet another collection I can’t wait for! LoL so far the greasepaint sticks and the lip sticks are calling me. Would like the lip erase as well. Actually…now that I went over everything listed…I think I wanted everything LoL.
i thought this collection was launching on October 12th in US stores?? thats what specktra and other beauty blogs said? Did they change the release date?
Yes — they want it to coincide with DSquared’s show in Milan on the 28th!
This is coming out next Monday? I thought that MAC only released on Thursdays….oh well, Monday works for me! I neeeeeeeeed Feline in my life 🙂
Yes! DSquared will show in Milan on the 28th so they’re launching it to match!
yeah,one of the ladies from my local mac counter told me yestday they had moved it to monday! i was like, “SCORE!” lol
I want one of the sculpting powders, and feline eyekohl (prolly get a couple of backups too)
Can someone please tell me what is a lip erase & the gloss. Whats the purpose for both products.
Lip Erase is to mute the natural lip color! The gloss texture… I’m not 100% sure, lol.
the gloss is good for getting a dewy finish on the complexion (highlighter etc…), or a glossy lid (with colour or not) look…
I really want some Lip Erase and the Contour powder looks neat. Is the Lip Erase going to be at all Mac counters? Or only Mac (or Mac Pro) stores?
I’m actually not sure – I believe it’s at all counters, though.
I will be picking up one of the Sculpting Duos, Blood Red l/s, and 3 Felines (I am down to only having 1 backup and I never ever ever want to run out!)
Sculpt and Shape is back! Yippee! I’m so purchasing that!
Christine, do you think the 165 brush is a must have ???
Yes, I do! I love it for highlighting! It’s my go-to!
thank you 🙂
I also thought this was going to be released in October…Would it really be released a week after Style Black in the US?
Regardless, 165 and feline for me.
Yes! I confirmed with MAC directly. It’s launching the 28th, because DSquared will be presenting their show in Milan on the 28th.
Thanks for this updated info Christine! Whew, thats a lot of MAC in one week!
TELL ME ABOUT IT! Argh!
How does feline compare to graphblack or any other black eyeliner?? I’m tempted b/c everyone raves about it..!!
It’s softer, blacker, and just has this really intense look. LOVE IT.
I remember when Gloss texture was a regular item around 10 years ago. This is when the glossy eye was very much in style, when Calvin Klein had is infamous eyewash. It looks great on the runways, and I like it on the browbone as a highligher for night looks. It also looks sexy on the liner of a smoky eye.
I never thought I would live to see the day when grundge came back in style. “It smells like teen spirit” LOL.
This will be a busy week for MAC! First Dazzle Cremes and Style Black comes out the same day and 4 days later D square comes out. I will be getting Feline and the 3 paint sticks in this collection, unless the black in this one is the same in style black. Everybody will be spoiled pretty!
They always have a month where they do this to us. I don’t like it! It’s just too much 🙁
I agree Christine. I just made a video about that,its like give us a break! If I go back 2 or 3 collections I probably havent touched that stuff more than twice because there was a new collection right around the corner that got me all excited and made me forget about it.
I don’t like when they release collects too close together too. I am always excited about new collections, but back to back release dates are finically exhausting and it doesn’t give me enough time to recover. And I thought there will be about a month of breathing room for me to try things from Dior, Chanel and Gurlaine because there are so items I really like from those collections.
Yeah, I can’t wait for the Sculp Powder. I hope the collection will be released on the 2nd in Germany.
Yea, early release! =) I’m getting all 3 GPSs, 8 Feline’s, 165 brush, maybe the lipsticks and a Shape & Sculpt powder.
What does the shape & sculpt powder do & which one would go with NW25
Accentuate/Sculpt – highlight and contour.
think i may get a blue or purple grease stick and check out feline
Its great that they are doing a release early. I have to see some swatches of the highlight/contour duos and lipsticks before i can decided if i should get them or not.
i dont like that they moved up the date, i was excited when it was first announced but the packaging and the overral products are nothing to be excited about. i still want to check out the 165 and feline
Whats the difference, if any, between the black grease paint stick from this collection and the one from style black? I want to get one!
I want to know this too! Please help us Christine!
I went to mac today and they swatched both grease paint sticks for me (they had their dsquared shipment in already), and they are the same. Both have a slight purple sheen to them!
They’re the same!
how is feline different from smolder eye pencil?
it’s a much more intense black…
however i find on myself it requires more work to make it stay in place all day in comparison to smolder.
Blacker, richer, wetter.
I was just wondering what is a grease paint stick used for? thanks!
I was wondering the same thing…is the same as an eyeliner???
Yes!
Liner or base!
I am SO excited about this! I can’t wait until I see the Feline Kohl Power Pencil for myself, I’ve heard nothing but good things about it! If I’m absolutely in love with it, I think I’ll will be buying two! I also definitely want the 165 brush, oh oh and the Sculpt and Shape Powder!
what does sculpt and shape do? I’m an NW25 so which should I get? I keep a rolling shopping basket on the mac website and right now it has over $200 of stuff in it without this collection – so unfair!!! I think I want the blue greasepaint stick, the lip erase, the feline, and the gloss.
It’s a highlighting/contouring duo. I’d recommend Accentuate/Sculpt!
Hey Scarlettholly. I went to my local MAC store to see what sculpt shape powder is for me, so if your a NW25 like me, my makeup artist said to go with the none biege/emphasize palest cream/tan.
So this will be on the website on Monday as well? Im definately not close to a Mac counter/freestanding store at all, closes one is 4 hrs away!! 🙁
Most likely! I know stores just found out yesterday.
Finally, Ill be able to pick up brush 165, and Ill probably pick up blood red l/s as well.
So excited to try Feline!! I also want the Nude Rose Lipstick, Sculpt and Shape in Bone Beige/Emphasize and maybe the 165.
Thanks for posting th pics!
Come to momma Feline, Blood Red, and both S/S powders!
What is the lip erase for? What is it supposed to be used for?? Thanks im not sure how id use this???
Crap. I gotta try that lip erase. I vary from NC35 to NC40 so that’s perfect. I guess with some of the money I’m saving on not getting nymphette and going with a drugstore dupe I might be able to go for it.
I want to buy the Sculpt and Shape, but my skin colour is dark. I am using NC35. which one is suitable for me?
Accentuate/Sculpt (Pale blushed beige/Soft taupe brown) would be good for your skintone as im nc35/40 and i use thhis duo thougth i got mines from the last collection!
Sculpt!
