MAC And Marilyn: Match Made In Beauty Heaven

MAC Cosmetics has recently debuted a beautiful Marilyn Monroe-inspired makeup collection! It's a stunning 30-piece limited edition line about the late, sexy movie goddess.

The beauty icon's image is featured on most of the MAC Marilyn beauty collection products.

The makeup ranges in price from $15-27 with lipsticks, shadows, liners, faux lashes, polishes, and the like.

"Marilyn Monroe is an icon, plain and simple. Her look not only defined a generation but also is relevant today," says MAC senior vice president James Gager.
How very true!

The makeup is pure Hollywood glamour with a bit of a retro twist to the palette.

We found 2 interesting MAC Marilyn Monroe pieces:

The Marilyn Monroe Penultimate Brow at $18.50. SOLD OUT online.
"A liquid, pen-style marker for colouring and styling the brows to a well-defined, natural look. Easy to control. Tapered tip provides precision and helps to fill in and perfect the brows. Flow-through, quick-drying formula means no smudges. Long-wearing."

And the Marilyn Monroe Brow Finisher at $15. Also SOLD OUT online.
"A slim-line, wax-style grooming tool specially formulated to shape and hold the brows, providing them with a sheer, slick, polished and conditioned-looking finish. Smooth, non-sticky, easy to use."

Marilyn had nice full brows, and were probably made that way through the magic of a good makeup artist. But wax is an interesting addition here, and something movie screen goddess Sophia Loren also supposedly used to use to keep her amazing brows lifted, and in place.

Sounds like a gorgeous, classic makeup collection!
