DAPHNE GUINNESS FOR MAC

Heiress, fashion icon and visionary Daphne Guinness also has a collection with cosmetic brand MAC, featuring nail polish, mascara, MAC’s famed lipglass (which Daphne is “obsessed with”).  The fashion muse was inspired by the Old Master painters like Titian, Zurbarán, and Michelangelo, the greyish green Hyperion Nail Lacquer came straight from the famous “Whistler’s Mother” painting!

 

A far cry from MAC’s usual bright/warm tones, Daphne says it’s ALL about the cool tones. “I’m not a real primary color person, and warm colors do not become me. Anyway we can’t all be bouncing along the beach looking sunkissed. I’m never gonna be that girl. I wish, but it ain’t gonna happen!” The campaign shot by David LaChapelle is a cool blue-hued image showing off Daphne’s fierce beauty game. The 24-piece strong line includes Azalea Blossom blush ombre in light cool pink (£22); pro longwearing lipcreme in blue-pink Red Dwarf (£15.50); and Hyperion Light (grey blue green) nail lacquer (£9).
