Daphne Guinness For MAC

Fashion icon Daphne Guinness has partnered with MAC Cosmetics to produce a 24-piece limited edition makeup line.

The eclectic fashionista, renowned for her extensive couture collection, says she's always been fascinated with makeup, and chose to partner with MAC because she "loves" the brand.

"I'm obsessed with the Lipglass and the Mascaras," said Daphne, who explained that her own collection was inspired by history and the universe.

"I'm absolutely fascinated by butterflies and outer space– the smallest things and the largest things, and I explore that through colour," said Guinness. "This collection is a window into my imagination."

James Gager, Senior Vice President and Creative Director of MAC Worldwide, said Guinness' was a genius with colour. "She has a very stylish way of looking at colour and she's also opinionated about texture, so the (product development) process was quite easy."

Guinness' extensive collection, which includes blushes, eyeliners, lipsticks and powders, is available in a variety of cool-toned hues. "I'm not a real primary colour person, and warm colours do not become me," explained Guinness. "Anyway we can't all be bouncing along the beach looking sunkissed. I'm never gonna be that girl!"

Regardless, Gager says Guinness "represents couture" on the highest level. "She is living the moment, living the life. When she arrives at an event you can't keep your eyes off her. Her persona is beyond definition; she's timeless and yet personifies modernity."

The Daphne Guinness for MAC collection is available from January 2012.
