MAC and Proenza Schouler to release spring makeup line
Beauty (and fashion) news alert!
MAC Cosmetics has joined forces with design duo Proenza Schouler to create a limited-edition spring makeup collection, MAC announced Tuesday. The line will include ombre face powders, lipsticks, Pro Longwear eyeliners and lip pencils, nail lacquers and a 129SE powder brush.
According to MAC, the makeup line will be inspired by one of Proenza's past collections and will feature "extremely unique" packaging. The womenswear and accessories label was founded in 2002 by designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, who attended Parsons School of Design together.
"Beauty has always played a huge role in what we do on the runway and MAC has been one of our biggest supporters," McCoullough and Hernandez said in a joint statement. "We wanted to create something that the Proenza Schouler woman could relate to off the runway, and the MAC brand is so deeply rooted in fashion that we knew they would understand our vision."
MAC exec James Gager added of the fashion world darlings: "I have always respected Jack and Lazaro's keen vision and point of view. We've worked together backstage creating beauty looks for their runway shows for many years and it has been fascinating to me watching them evolve. They have a very particular perspective on their makeup look each season. It has been a great experience collaborating with them to bring their beauty vision off the runway to our customers."
The collection is slated to hit MAC stores in April.
