If you love a matchy-matchy beauty look, MAC has created the solution to finding the exact same shade for eyes, nails, and lips.

You tweeze them, get them waxed, or even threaded, but do you also fill in your brows?

For Fall 2013, MAC senior artist Chantel Miller took a long and haunting journey with the designers of Libertine using kohl, eyeliner, and a lot of precision.

It was about the future at Theyskens' Theory's Fall 2013 show, from the minimalist clothing to the clean, fresh skin. Designer Olivier Theyskens worked with James Kaliardos for MAC to execute the woman of the future, putting the focus on a diffused, lit-from-within complexion. The hair, by Kérastase's Odile Gilbert, felt equally polished and yet untouched, with strands slicked back into a headband for a cool waterfall effect. Curious to see what we'll all look like in 2013? Well, check out our video now.
Rihanna turns 25 today sitting poolside in a Rasta bikini and celebrates the news of her deal to create makeup for MAC Cosmetics.
Let it be heard: Rihanna has inked a deal with MAC Cosmetics, which includes four collections, aptly named RiRi Hearts MAC, to be rolled out over the next year. The news comes fresh off the success of the singer's first runway show at London Fashion Week . . . as well as on her 25th birthday. Rihanna told WWD that the unprecedented deal for both was "a no-brainer."
The first product to drop will be a lipstick dubbed RiRi Woo, which was inspired by MAC's Ruby Woo, Rihanna's favorite shade. MAC will release the shade to coincide with the Grammy winner's stint at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on March 4 and 5, as part of her Diamonds Tour. The cosmetics giant will open a pop-up shop at the March 4 show to showcase the line. RiRi Woo will be sold at Rihanna's concerts as well as online and in conjunction with all four collections. Get the scoop on the full collaboration when you keep reading.
