MAC Beth Ditto

This month sees the launch of an exciting Limited-Edition Make-up collection from MAC. Beth Ditto will be joining the likes of Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj and Dita Von Teese by collaborating with the make-up brand and it's sure to be a sell-out.

The stylish, inspirational and confident lead singer of The Gossip has re-defined our image of the classic beauty icon. She brings plenty of colour to the collection, with shades ranging from bold brights to candy colours and pastels.

"Collaborating with MAC on my first make-up collection has been my dream. With music, there’s a long time frame, there’s a period of gestation – you do it, sit with it, let it grow and then give birth to it. But this make-up line was different, more immediate. I was like a kid in a candy store. It’s very colourful, but the idea is that it’s versatile. I didn’t have money as a kid, and now I travel a lot, so it’s about taking several things and merging them into one. With the Shade & Smoke Shadow/Liner you have black, pastel blue and navy to play with, and the face palette has four colours which you can blend together to create a bunch of other colours."

This colourful line features Pro Longwear Lipcreme's, Lip Pencils, Nail Lacquers, Zoom Lash Mascara in three colours and No7 Lashes.

The stand-out item is the 'Shade & Smoke Shadow/Liner' which will be premiering in this collection. The dual-ended sticks of creamy Eye Shadow and Greasepaint Liner are ideal for creating the perfect smoky eye and come in four beautiful colour-ways. Having already heard fantastic things about them, they are going straight to the top of my shopping list! The 'Beth Mask' shade in particular has caught my eye, blending a striking combination of brown-bronze liner and golden-peach shadow. The polka-dot 'Powder to the People' also looks irresistibly bright and beautiful!

Prices for this collection range from £9 for the 'Nail Lacquer' to £21.50 for 'Powder to the People'.

The MAC Beth Ditto Collection is available online at www.maccosmetics.co.uk or from MAC stores across the UK from tomorrow (7th June).
