Today’s the day! MAC’s Antonio Lopez palettes are out and aren’t they stunning – inside and out.

The lids are decorated with Lopez’ famous illustrations and the palettes contain lip, eye and face colours. Also in the collection are make-up bags, a powder/blush brush and a mirror. They go on counter and online today.

Quote of the day: Anna Sui on Antonio Lopez




“It’s not about fabulous anymore. It’s about having 500 friends on Facebook and the same American Apparel outfit to wear to a festival. It was kind of the opposite then. Freak was the preferred genre.”
Anna Sui in Guy Trebay’s excellent New York Times piece on Antonio Lopez

Other things I learnt:
Rizzoli is publishing the monograph, Antonio Lopez: Fashion, Art, Sex & Disco by Mauricio and Roger Padilha next week
