Blurred Cosmetic Campaigns

MAC Cosmetics and Ella Gross Promote Innovative Powder Kiss Formulas

MAC Cosmetics and Ella Gross, a member of the K-pop group MEOVV, are teaming up to appeal to a new generation of beauty lovers who appreciate artistry and self-expression through makeup. “Growing up between different cultures and creative worlds, MAC was the makeup I practiced with, the makeup I wore on stage and the makeup I kept returning to as I figured out my own style,” said Ella in a press release. “It’s always encouraged me to experiment, transform and express who I am in the moment."

Ella Gross' partnership with MAC Cosmetics kicks off with a campaign for the brand's new Powder Kiss Hazy Matte Lipstick and the lightweight, multi-use Powder Kiss Lip + Cheek Mousse. Both products seamlessly fit Gross' signature look—subtle yet fresh. MAC Cosmetics' new soft-focus, blurred colors and comfortable matte formulas make it easy to achieve coveted K-beauty aesthetics without the tight, drying feel.
