MAC Makeup Art Cosmetics Collection for Fall 2009
MAC Makeup Art Cosmetics Collection
U.S. Launch Date: August 20th, 2009
International Launch Date: September 2009
Everything we do at MAC is built around the idea that anything is possible when self-expression is honored, exalted, allowed to rise to its ultimate aria. This season MAC celebrates the idea of the Artist in every shade and stripe…makeup as art form. We’ve selected three individuals who exemplify this idea through both the subjects they choose, and the wildly individual styles and colours used to convey them. Bold heroic, big; giggly, playful, clever; dramatic, original, abstract: Fall ’09 as seen by Richard Phillips, Maira Kalman, and Marilyn Minter. Be inspired!
Make-Up Art Cosmetics Fall ’09 As Seen By Richard Phillips, Painter
Andy Warhol did a cameo on The Love Boat in 1985…and in the same spirit, Richard Phillips! 1998 painting, Spectrum, made its debut on the scandalous Gossip Girl a sign of the times! Need we say more? Recycled and re-imagined ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s ads and images, and every colourful issue ever considered when pondering the question of “identity” is what Richard Phillips is all about. Highly technical, a refinement of precise, academic painting, his gold and beautiful portraits seem so relevant to everything MAC artistry is all about. A collection of eye shadow quads, lipsticks, Lipglass, and The Perfect Cheek Blush just leap off the canvas!

Make-Up Art Cosmetics Fall ’09 As Seen By Maira Kalman, Illustrator
We still chuckle (along with all of Manhattan) over the now-famous New Yorker cover illustration of “Newyorkistan.” Cheeky, witty, always amusing, Maira’s illustrations are cute and colourful, wonderfully child-like, playful…and sophisticated all at once. Technakohl Liners and Maira’s Magical thinking Eye Shadows are made for the MAC Artist with a sense of mischief and a deep desire to be defiantly different. Warm and eccentric at the same time, Maira’s faces are full of cock-eyed optimism, with the tiniest smidge of city-girl-snobbism…simply, scrumptiously, stupendously sublime!

Make-Up Art Cosmetics Fall ’09 As Seen By Marilyn Minter, Photographer
There’s that famous close-up of Tom Ford’s belly button, part of the “Pathology of Glamour” that this artist renders with luminous, almost hallucinatory colour and painterly photo-realism… Erotic imagery that zooms in on a succulently wet, red lip, a dappled, sequined eye, or a silverized stiletto splashing in the mud. The Whitney Biennial Artist says she’s “Never met a model who actually thinks she’s beautiful,” and that observation goes a long way to explain how she connects to what MAC wants to say about all-inclusiveness we’re ALL beautiful sometimes. Pigments in Push the Edge and Copper and Gold Glitter have the power to make anyone feel like they WILL be seen and desired.

the quads and single e/s’s sound interesting. I’ll be saving my money from passing on the other collections for this one.
WOW sounds like an amazing collection I’m really excited for this one. I can’t wait to see pic of the products
Sometimes I wonder why I don’t just mail my paychecks to MAC. :))

Would love to see the pictures first……

Kind of a dull name… But it sounds like an amazing collection… *drool*
Oh, i already know im buying 2 of every flippin thing. well, just the Mariah collection. (the one with the bright collection like haunting and crest the wave)
and all technoliners. bold and brash. i have wayyyyyy too many lipsticks and lipglosses, ill just dup everything.
I need this collection in my life, it is just a cruel twist of fate that it is due to be released in September here in the UK just before term starts back…
Saw these today swatched on paper. The eyeliners are AMAZING!!! if you like bright colors you will love these!! The lime is so pretty and so is the fuschia!! i thought I would be able to skip most of this but no way! I also saw the pigments and the “brash and bold” and “push the edge” are gorgeous!!
Lots of fuchsia this fall. hmm
Why’d they have to be soooo PRETTY! I’ll be getting a lot of this collection!
Wow a collection named after themselves.
Makeup Artist Cosmetics= MAC cosmetics
I want 2 quads :]
In The Gallery Quad
Maira’s Magic + Hauting Eyeshadow
Artistic License Technakohl Liner
i have tried very hard to narrow down into that wishlist(:
I want everything from this collection but I’ve limited myself to only TWO things that I really need: (all the other colours I can just mix and create or dupe) Colour Matters and Graphblack technakohls. I’m saving up for Assemblage MES, and with what money I have left over from gift cards and such (I’ll be perusing my MAC counter around Christmas/birthday) I’ll probably buy Vegas Volt lipstick and some Sonia Kashuk brushes and makeup.
My b-day is a few days after this collection comes out. I know what I’ll end up spending every cent of my money on!
I think I am in love with this … everything sounds amazing!!!
ok so im skipping out on like every collection until this one so that i can buy a ton of stuff from here especially the quads! im def. getting the three quads though!
This collection is going to burn a MAJOR hole in my wallet. I can already tell.
oh my f’ing gosh…they’ve just released Color Craft now this one. I’m going to be so broke. I love all the eyeshadow shades.
i want most of this collection im so hyper about it i gotta wait till September though 🙁
I can’t wait for this collection. Thank you for the details of each item. Definitely eyeing 2 quads, 2 lipglass, one of the single shadows and 2 pigments, and the gloss texture!
when can we see preview pictures of the products?!?
My Wishlist:
Makeup Art Collection
– Lipglass: Personal Taste
– Eyeshadow Quads: Notoriety or Photorealism
– Perfect Cheek blush
That’s all for now, I think. Although, I sort of like Cool Reserve from the nail polish collection but I’ll have to check it out in person.
Thanks for your videos and contest, Tiffany! 🙂
ok so after swatches I’ve modified my wishlist and things are looking good for me because I’ve managed to narrow things down

Blush: The Perfect Blush
E/Liners: Artistic License, Full of Fushia, Obviously Orange
Pigments: Push The Edge and Cocomotion and the Gloss Texture. Thank God for the pro discount!
Tonight I stopped at the Mac counter to pick up a few items and was able to see some of the colors from this collection that was behind the counter -not yet on the counters for display. The colors are gorgeous. I plan on purchasing all the single eyeshadows, all the pigments and all the eyeliners except for the black- I just got the pearl glide eyeliner in Black Russian so I don’t need the black. The Violet trance eyeshadow is unlike any I have seen in previous collections- so vibrant and beautiful. After splurging on the recent Color Craft and Love that Look collection and now this one coming up- I think I should be good for a while.
Hey
i was just wondering if the swatches and reviews are going to go up for this collection? just curious
Thanks
They’re up, Nadia! 🙂
