Lorde x MAC

The Royal visit may be fast approaching, but Royals star Lorde has some amazing news – she is doing a range with MAC cosmetics.

Lorde will collaborate with M.A.C Cosmetics later this year on a limited edition collection for retail that we’re sure will sell out in New Zealand and abroad.

Unlike some celebrity colabs, this is a perfect fit as Lorde has been using M·A·C herself and since touring, has been working with M·A·C Cosmetics since 2013. On her current US Tour, her makeup look was designed by Amber D for M.A.C Cosmetics.

I love how they’ve drawn the face chart to look like Lorde. It looks regal, indeed. Below: the M.A.C face chart of Lorde’s current US Tour look designed by Amber D for M.A.C Cosmetics.

This is her now-famous look…

Snob no more…

“I have loved M•A•C Cosmetics since I was a little kid. I remember saving up to buy my very first M•A•C lipstick [Snob] at 14, and it was used by about 20 of my friends! M•A•C has a very clear aesthetic, that has always felt fashion forward to me. So I was really excited to work with them on these products, which I use pretty much every day and night. I hope you will too.” – Lorde

The colours have not been released yet, but we think the strong colours in MAC Punk Couture collection (below) would suit her look. Read more about MAC Punk Couture here on Thread.
