As promised, artist and designer Daphne Guinness has teamed up with to launch a colour make-up collection.
This collection is a window into my imagination,” Guinness said of the collection.
Including pigments, lip colour, eye pencils, eye shadows, blush and nail lacquer, the collection is launching in Australian M.A.C locations in January 2012.
M.A.C senior vice president and creative director James Gager said the brand was drawn to Guinness for her originality and elegant style. When she walked into the office for the first time to talk about the collection, we were all just blown away,” he recalls. You instantly understand how seductive she is as a person.”
Gager also says Guinness was a natural in creating the products. When we first started working on colours, she pulled a tiny watercolour case out of her handbag and, using her own saliva, began mixing colours immediately! She gets very excited about the creative process. She also named many of the shades,” Gager says. The result is a collection of colours that are so beautiful and quite sophisticated.”
