fashion shows around the world allows our Artists to exercise their craft
alongside the world's most renowned and esteemed makeup artists. They have

FASHION SHOWS ARE A PRODUCT TESTING GROUND

In addition to creating the beauty trends on the runway, fashion shows
around the world play a critical role in the M-A-C Cosmetics Product
Development process. Artists use this unique opportunity to test-drive
product prototypes sometimes years before they reach consumers. The Artists
put these formulas through the paces at shows in New York, London, Milan, and
Paris. They then report back their findings to the Product Development team
with feedback on texture, colour and ease of application. The end result is a
tried and tested formula fitting the needs of the professional makeup artist
and the regular customer.

The Autumn/Winter 2010 season is no different as the M-A-C Product
Development will be busy backstage focusing on products that provide
immediate perfection and lasting results. The Artists will be testing the
following selection of products that work as hard as they do, from the early
morning through to the wee hours of the night.

    - Prep + Prime Skin Compact (working name) - A creamy primer to
fill fine lines and even skin tone while plumping and softening.

- Backstage Balm (working name) - A luxuriously rich moisturizing
balm suitable for the driest face and body, serves as a soothing base
for pigments, oils, etc.

- PRO Longwear Foundation - A lightweight and comfortable liquid
foundation which yields 15 hours of continuous, fresh and natural

- Studio Moisture Powder (working name) - A cream-like powder,
hydrates and nourishes the skin while providing smooth and even
coverage.

- Studio Moisture Bronzer (working name) - An extremely silky and
cream-like powder that adds a healthy bronze color to the skin, while
providing a blend of antioxidants that treat the skin. This bronzer is
comfortable to wear, easy to blend, and has great adherence to the skin.

- Mineralize Skinfinish Bronzer (working name) - Bronzer shades
that are a natural extension to the Mineralize Skinfinish/Natural. These
bronzers add a healthy glow with a natural finish.

- Pro Longwear Lipcreme -The product Artists use to create their
statement look. No need for a topcoat, this lipcreme is equip with
instant colour release and 12 hour wear.
