Hollywood Glamour: MAC Marilyn Monroe Collection

MAC have just launched a new collection commemorating one of the most recognised, female icons of all time; Marilyn Monroe.
The collection consists of various eye shadows, false lashes, blushes and much, much more.
Famous for her fairly minimal make up look, MAC have reflected this in the focus on bright lip shades, dark eye products and perfectly groomed brows.

The Lipsticks

There are five lipsticks in the collection; an array of pink and red tones.

Pure Zen – a frosted warm nude, Scarlet Ibis – a bright orange red, Love Goddess – a midtone pink red, Charmed I’m Sure – dark true red, Deeply Adored – true scarlet.

(This gorgeous range of lipsticks can be bought at www.maccosmetics.co.uk for £15.50 each)

The Dazzleglasses

There are only two dazzleglasses in the collection which I’m slightly disappointed about as they are one of my favourite products from MAC, however, they don’t look set to disappoint.

Little Rock – soft, sheer white with pearl, Phiff – sheer, yellow peach.



(These can be bought at www.maccosmetics.co.uk for £18.50 each)

Lip Pencils

There are three shades of lip pencil in this collection.

(From left to right)
Redd – clearly red, Cherry- vivid bright bluish-red, Beet - vivid reddish-pink



The lip pencils, I think, are what you would expect from the collection after having seen the lipsticks.

(These can be bought at www.maccosmetics.co.uk for £12.50 each)

The Eyes Have It

There are four eye shadow shades in the collection These shadows are a whopping 3g each! So they’re twice the size of the standard MAC eye shadows which is a bonus.

How to Marry – soft white , Preferred Blonde – pale champagne beige, Silver Screen – true silver, and Showgirl – dark blue grey.



These shades all complement each other and I think some of these blended together would make perfect dramatic eye look for a night out. How to Marry and Preferred Blonde would be ideal for a neutral everyday eye with a touch of glamour.

(These can be bought at www.maccosmetics.co.uk for £16.50 each)


The Marilyn lashes (35 lash) are dramatic and full and just what you’d expect of the great lady herself.

Marilyn false lashes extreme black mascara promises to give thickness, volume and curl to your lashes and can be bought at www.maccosmetics.co.uk for £18.00)

The set also boasts a penultimate eyeliner (£16.00) Penultimate Brow (£15.00) Eye Kohl (£14.00) and the Marilyn Monroe Brow Finisher (£12.50) to finish of the dramatic and defined look of Marilyn.

Face Facts

There’s also a beauty powder, Forever Marilyn - a sheer pearl peach powder, which looks set to be a gorgeous highlight colour (£23.50) and two blushes, Legendary – a soft, pale coral and The Perfect Cheek – a neutral pinky beige (£19.00 each).
