Well, here we were impatiently waiting for spring and warmer weather, when we heard news of the Nars x Steven Klein collection coming this holiday season, and suddenly we just want to skip over everything and go straight to November 2015. Announced today, the brand has partnered with the legendary photographer to release a line […]

We didn’t really need another reason to be excited for summer, but M.A.C has just upped the ante. The global cosmetics brand announced yesterday that a collaboration with our latest beauty crush, Lorde, is forthcoming. Cue major squeals of excitement.

Lorde, a longtime fan of M.A.C products, has worked directly with the brand for over a year now, with senior Artist Amber D having created some of her most eye-catching looks. Remember her stunningly vampy look for the 2014 Grammy Awards? Or how about her black lipstick from the Brit Awards? Amber D and M.A.C were behind both. Lorde has proven that bold makeup isn’t exclusively synonymous with bright red lipstick or a smoky eye—and to the same effect, she’s proved that a dramatic dark lip is no longer reserved for the high school goth. It is now perfectly suitable for a formal event like, oh you know, a major awards show.

It terms of “collaborations we’ve been dreaming of” M.A.C Cosmetics’ just-announced partnership with Proenza Schouler certainly sits at the top of the list. While little information is available—and the launch date is a whole season away—the cool-girl campaign imagery is enough to get our imaginations running.

But let’s talk details before we start speculating. Proenza Schouler has had a longstanding backstage beauty partnership with the brand, with makeup artist Diane Kendal keying many of their all-natural looks. “Beauty has always played a huge role in what we do on the runway and M.A.C has been one of our biggest supporters,” said Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez via press release. “We wanted to create something that the Proenza Schouler woman could relate to off the runway, and the M.A.C brand is so deeply rooted in fashion that we knew they would understand our vision.”

Since hearing about the collaboration between Lanvin’s creative director, Alber Elbaz and leading French cosmetics house, Lancôme, in January, we’ve been batting our lashes prettily and patiently.

Launching at the end of June, the Lancôme Show by Alber Elbaz collection is finally coming to beauty counters—and our vanities. A true believer that luxury triggers joy, Alber Elbaz has created a limited collection that not only features Lancôme’s four worldwide best-selling mascaras and colourful Hypnôse eyeshadow palettes, there’s also a set of false eyelashes that come in a box designed by Elbaz himself.

After the success of last year’s Andy Warhol collection, Nars Cosmetics announced today that they’re launching a collaboration inspired by French fashion photographer Guy Bourdin. The collection, created on behalf of the Guy Bourdin Estate, will feature Bourdin’s innovative and provocative work in a set of unique Nars beauty products. Specific product details have not been released yet, but the collection is said to include new packaging, formulas and shades based on Bourdin’s photos.

Right on the heels of the announcement that a Marc Jacobs makeup collection is coming, Lancôme revealed today that they have teamed with Lanvin creative director Alber Elbaz.

“Alber Elbaz is, without a doubt, one of the world’s most influential fashion designers. But beyond that, he is also the most talented” said Youcef S. Nabi, Lancôme president, via press release “ We are extremely proud and happy that, with us, he is set to channel his universe into the world of make-up for the very first time.”
