Each month, I could dedicate at least one post to M∙A∙C Cosmetics. Their collaborations get better and better. This one is definitely to die for as I am a huge fan of the late legendary photographer, Helmut Newton. Limited Edition celebrates the erotically charged and elegant work of this icon. A regular contributor to Vogue and Vanity Fair, Newton is known for his precise, glamorous and empowering photography of women.

Helmut Newton, October 31, 1920 – January 23, 2004

This limited-edition color collection captures the photographer’s provocative, exquisite taste, dressing wine-stained lips in sultry rogue while darkening eyes in the black and white shades of his signature aesthetic. Nails are lacquered in colors inspired by Monte Carlo and Berlin, two of his homes. A selection of Newton’s most iconic photographs adorns the bespoke packaging – his work remains as distinctive and influential as ever.

For those who prefer timeless glamour rather than all-out flash, the sophisticated allure of matte reigns supreme. Now, M∙A∙C expands its offering of this classic suede-like finish with 12 new shades of Matte and Retro Matte Lipstick. These lipsticks promise a pop of colour that will linger on your lips with impressive staying power. Sophisticated and stylish!

To explore all new shades, please click here. My favorite at the moment is «D for Danger», a beautiful matte brick red (see photo above).

The collection will hit the shelves in Switzerland on August 13, 2015. Available at all M∙A∙C counters and online for CHF 28.00 each.

The most fabulous mother-daughter duo of Sharon and Kelly Osbourne come to M∙A∙C with a two-part collection of statement-making hues for eyes, lips and face.

Sharon Osbourne (61) brings her unmistakable warmth and wit to the mother of all colour collaborations, featuring feminine shades and must-have beauty tools.

Sharons Must-Haves: DUCHESS QUAD (Eye Shadow x 4 in golden nudes and fiery browns, CHF 66.00) complement a soft palette of LIPGLASS (CHF 28.00) and PATENTPOLISH LIP PENCIL (Ruby, a mid-tone rose, CHF 30.00) in caramel and rose. Peachy cheeks with a hint of rose (POWDER BLUSH in Peaches & Cream, CHF 39.00) give skin a subtle satin finish. The Face Blender BRUSH (CHF 54.00) is a must for all beauty lovers. Limited-edition packaging in Sharon’s trademark red with lavender signature.

Kelly Osbourne (29) collaborates on a collection of fearlessly vibrant hues that work perfectly for day and night.

Kelly’s Must-Haves: BLOODY BRILLIANT QUAD (Eye Shadow x 4 in pale lilac and blackened plum, CHF 66.00) complement LIPSTICK in bright pink, orange and light lavender (pictured: Strip Poker, a matte light nude, CHF 31.00). Cool beige and soft pink MINERALIZE SKINFINISH DUO (CHF 45.00) highlights skin in a luxurious, mineral-rich formula for a polished perfect finish. Try to apply it with Kelly’s Flat Buffer BRUSH (CHF 69.00). Limited-edition packaging in Kelly’s iconic light violet with signature in red.

Love Kelly and Sharon’s beauty musts for MAC as much as I do? You don’t need to wait much longer… the collection is in stores now. (In Switzerland exclusively at Manor or online at www.maccosmetics.ch).
