This campaign features an eclectic mix of stars -- including Martha Stewart, Julia Fox, Tiffany Pollard, Odell Beckham Jr., and Beabadoobee -- and strips makeup down to its essence, literally and figuratively. Unlike traditional takes on nude makeup, MAC’s approach is sensual, confident, and unapologetic. Each star brings their signature personality to the campaign from Julia Fox’s daring subway photoshoot to Odell Beckham Jr. sporting burgundy lipstick stains across his bare torso. The social rollout includes viral-ready videos, like Stewart’s [ASMR](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agatha-all-along-1) fruit-eating moment, making the campaign as attention-grabbing as its bold reinterpretation of nude beauty. More than just a product launch, I Only Wear MAC revives the brand’s legacy of merging celebrity culture with high-impact beauty, making MAC a beauty brand and a statement. The 'Nudes Collection' is available now.
