MAC-ximum Exposure

M.A.C. Cosmetics sheds their usual elegant black motif for shocking pink glitterati in their new collection from New York fashion house Heatherette.

With items named Fleshpot(lipstick, B750), Mood Ring(eyeshadow palette,B1,550) and She’s Good/She’s Bad (fake lashes,B500) it’s the perfect excuseto embrace the inner BoyGeorge in all of us.
