Gareth Pugh's New Makeup Collection For Mac
WWD announced today that Beth Ditto is the latest quirky MAC muse. The brand and the singer have a bit of a history: Ditto performed last September at the MAC store in NYC's Soho neighborhood for Fashion's Night Out, making it one of the top stops on everyone's FNO agenda. The match makes a ton of sense--MAC loves a strong makeup statement and so does Ditto.
Gareth Pugh Collections
MAC approached Gareth to do a collection after many seasons of successful runway shows and an installation at Milk Studios. 'If I was going to do something with MAC I wanted it to be something special, and quite specific,' Gareth told us. 'The collection is very all-encompassing and versatile. It has the scope to go to the extreme with it. Agatha christie games for mac. You can really play around with it. I’d rather people do that than copy what we’ve done for the ad images,' he said. He also acknowledged that his own experience with wearing makeup helped him decide what he wanted to do with the collection.
And that story brings together what Pugh describes as 'two opposing elements that can be merged and mixed. Numerology for mac. You've got a very dark, quite full-on element, and then there's an ethereal, silvery grey side to the collection.' A promotional film has been shot with Kostromichova playing two different characters. 'It's a bit like a fight.
MAC is teasing us mercilessly about the brand’s impending collaboration with Brit designer Gareth Pugh. News leaked a few weeks ago that the designer and MAC, who have worked together on runway shows since the beginning of the designer's career, are doing a limited edition makeup collection which will hit counters in November.
MAC’s latest designer collaborator is London-based Gareth Pugh, who created “futuristic yet primal” shades of cream shadows, lipsticks, powder blushes, nail lacquers, and more (think silvery nail polishes and electric purple lipstick). MAC has so many collection comin out before the new year. I really want the lipglasses & lipsticks. I see that purple/berry lips are the new fall/ winter color! Either way i love the collection.

The Gareth Pugh (a British fashion designer) for MAC Collection will be released at the end of November and I don’t know about you, but a lot of this collection gets me REALLY excited! Look at the nail lacquers!!

MAC hosted a party last night to fete Gareth and the collab, and left us wanting to know much, much more--which we suppose is the whole point. This collection is going to be major, whether you’re a makeup nerd or not. What do Johnny Weir, Daphne Guinness, Iris Apfel, and Beth Ditto have in common? They all have a distinct style point-of-view, and now they all have MAC collections.
It's a bit like having a perfume, something that's entry level, a lot more inexpensive but still part of me. It's really satisfying for me to do something beautiful that a lot of people can buy.' Gareth Pugh for Mac will be available at selected Mac locations nationwide and at maccosmetics.co.uk from December 2011 Irish Independent Belfast Telegraph.

There was a hematite rock that I'd picked up in Evolution in New York. I can't resist that place. It's full of dead things and crystals. I sent Mac the feathered head-dresses from my spring/summer 2010 show – light grey feathers, that's how we came up with that colour. It's all come from the same place so it works as a collection, I think. It tells a story.'
Gareth wore them layered and it had this amazing beetle-like finish with an iridiscent sheen. The three lacquers are Inert (creamy mid-tone grey/nude), Ascension (grey with blue violet reflective pearl), and Hyper (deep blue with violet pearl). If you're in North America, you can get the collection starting November 23, and internationally in December.
Then showed us an example of how you can achieve subtle vs. Extreme with the collection. He was wearing nail varnish from the collection (which we were forbidden to photograph, much to our chagrin). It's an iridescent shade that looks green or purple, depending how the light hits it.
