Cindy Sherman Partners with MAC Cosmetics on Limited-Edition Makeup Collection
Just before the weekend, the MAC Cosmetics brand has announced that it will be collaborating with artist and photographer Cindy Sherman on a limited-edition collection of what looks like borderline theatrical makeup. It makes sense, of course, given that Sherman is the undisputed queen of artistically rearranging her own face to look like different people, but the three images that will serve as the campaign for the new line are a touch off-putting. Though we suppose that’s what makes the whole thing edgy and artistic, like this chunk of the press release about the collection which, in the second paragraph, features words but doesn’t really say anything:
With the help of props, makeup, prosthetics, wigs and sets, artist Cindy Sherman embodies this Power of Transformation — from off-kilter Hitchcock heroine to fresh corpse, Caravaggio Portrait to Park Avenue Plastic Surgery Maven — all elaborate exercises in trying on different personas.
