Brooke Shields Collaborates With MAC Cosmetics On Largest Icon Collection to Date

Model, actress and author Brooke Shields just added something new to her long list of accomplishments: a collaboration with MAC Cosmetics.

In an interview with WWD, Shields explained how her newest venture came about. "There's this little place I go to get coffee after I drop my kids for school and after a yoga or spin class, where I think no one will see me without makeup," she said jokingly. "Of course, who do I run into but James Gager, (MAC's senior vice president and creative director)? After we talked a few times, he approached me about the next Icon line and asked if I would consider designing it with them."

Shields couldn't wait to get started. "In every palette I've ever bought, there always seems to be something missing- like a highlighter or a crease color," she said. "I always have to get a second one. So I wanted to make sure we got it all in one with this."

According to Gager, this is the largest Icon collection to date, with 15 products ranging from $17 to $85. The $85 offering is a 16-shade eye-shadow palette, ranging from "Pretty," a soft golden peach beige, to "Carbone," a matte black shade. This is the first time the brand has done a celebrity palette so large.

Shields also helped create a brow product called, "Veluxe Brow Liner" in a midtone muted gray, $20, and a brow set with clear gel, $17. Two Veluxe Pearl Fusion Shadows, $44 each, as well as a Cremeblend Blush Duo, $31; two shades of lipstick, $22 each; a bronzer, $27.50; two Lipglasses, each $22; two shades of nail lacquer, each $17, and Optimum Black Opulash mascara, $17.

The collection became available to North American MAC stores on October 2 and will be available internationally, in 76 countries, later this month.
