A-Mei MAC Collection


















MAC Cosmetics' latest collaboration brings major Asian pop star A-Mei into the international spotlight with a color collection inspired by her native Puyuma tribe in Taiwan. The line's rich palette and distinct cultural feel are a tribute both to A-Mei's Austronesian features (which means she has genetic ties in the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia) and this spring's decidedly global ethnic influences.

Each product comes in a bold hue and a more subdued neutral: Eye shadows are electric blue or delicate beige, and on lips, the deep red "Ruby Woo" contrasts the flesh-colored "Siss." Meanwhile, the packaging's stitch motif was inspired by her tribe's traditional costumes. The line will be available in select MAC boutiques throughout the world—backup dancers and screaming fans not included.
