Makeup is a form of self-expression and is a great way to embody different aspects of your personality, and the Cindy Sherman for MAC Collection takes that idea quite literally.
MAC Cosmetics is not known for being shy or understated and their previous collections have included such iconic figures as Wonder Woman, Barbie and Hello Kitty. This time around, MAC has teamed up with revolutionary artist Cindy Sherman for the Cindy Sherman for MAC Collection.
According to the official press release, in the ads, Sherman portrays an "off-kilter Hitchcock heroine to fresh corpse, Caravaggio Portrait to Park Avenue Plastic Surgery Maven." Sherman uses different color palettes to create different personas.
The Cindy Sherman for MAC Collection hits shelves on September 29th, just in time for fall 2011 makeup launches.
