They aren't all celebrities I'm crazy about (I can live without Paris and Avril collections), but they were fun to make nonetheless. I'd really love to see Gwen and Stevie collections.

[Indigowaters]

Wow That's awesome! And original.

[Glitziegal]

Wowser, I have to say I was thinking Prince (gotta love that man) but I can't match what was already done.
That said I would so buy the collection

These all sound do fabulous gals.

[Ella_]

Oh wow. I would so buy the gwen, debbie, david and robert collections. Yeah Im too lazy to type out full names

But wow. So creative.
I might give this a go later on.

[MAChostage]

I absolutely love Pigment Junkie's idea for Prince as an icon and her collection named for him! He'd be a great icon!! All you guys have been pleasantly creative! Fun thread!

[MAC_Pixie04]

Fairies Quad
Fairy Dust - clean white with green/blue duochrome.
Magic - intense, bright blue with purple reflects.
Sprite - foiled silver with green undertones.
Pixie - bright, girly pink with icy shimmer.

Elvenpath Pigment Set (these would be in those little vials that the holiday sets come in; also, I realize pigments sets don't get named, but it's my colour story )
Green Brown.
Vines - deep green with bronze reflects.
Enchanted - warm beige bronze.
Vanilla.

Mineralize Skinfinishes
Ethereal - ivory white with lots of gold veining.
Shimpagne.
Merlin - muted red with bronze and gold veining.

Lipstick
Flutters - pale, delicate pink.
Evenstar - intense red with silver frost.
Fantasy - muted rust with golden shimmer.

Lipglass
Tinkerbelle - sheer pink with gold pearl.
Unicorn - white with fuschia shimmer.
Treasure - 24karat gold.

I would buy this entire collection- that's beautiful, you are so creative!

[GalleyGirl]

Ooh, I would so buy the Robert Smith one, so original! And don't laugh, but I like the Paris Hilton one too! However, these types of collections are so love or hate - like if you hate the artist chances are your interests won't be piqued in the collection (Mariah Carey as a person makes me gag, so my bias would probably cause me to overlook a collection of great makeup!)

[SHARKIA]

GREAT JOB LADIES THEY ALL SOUND REALLY NICE

[Henna_Spirit]

oh man... real shame these colelctions aren't real!! Some of the products described would be soooo lovely to have!

And I started coming up with products, colors, clever product color names etc etc, similar to how MAC's themed color stories do.

So in like 15 years or something, if I were working at MAC, I'd name Christina Aguilera as Icon number like...25 or whatever we'd be at. So an Icon Collection color story would be in order. And here are my hypothetical products...

Dirrty Eyes Quad
Blonde Bombshell - shimmery beige with gold frost (Frost)
Trouble - emerald green with silver and gold glitter flecks (Velvet)
Dirrty - chocolate brown with emerald green duochrome/frost (Veluxe Pearl)
Chrome Yellow - Repromote (i loved the use of this in her Viva Glam look)

Beautiful Eyes Quad
Shroom -Repromote
Sharptongue - Jet Black with pink glitter flecks (Velvet)
Beautiful - Deep Carnation Pink (satin)
Heartsong - Icy pearl ivory (frost)

Lipstick
Xtina - Juicy blue-red with gold frost (Frost)
Baby Jane - Little girl pink with pearl (lustre)
Fighter - Deep Eggplant (Satin)
Overflow - Warm neutral brown with pink duochrome/frost (Frost)

Lipglass
Grown Woman - Clear gloss with reflected red pearl
Unbreakable - Plum with pink pearl
Stripped - Fleshy pink/brown
Overjoyed - Hot Pink with Silver Pearl

Blush:
Hot Pants - Warmed up Hot Pink (matte)
Hello, Lover - Neutral pink/taupe with pearl

And that's my late night creative expression.

What would your ideal color story be? I'm anticipating big ideas from all you MAC fanatics here!

This is such a good idea...you've got me wanting products that haven't even been invented yet The Fighter lipstick and the Unbreakable Lipglass sound so gorgeous! I would kill that Hot Pants blush!

[Chic 2k6]

ok i thought up a collection, not great but i tried lol, It's called The Great Pretender based on a band called The Pretenders, the face of the collection would be Chrissie Hynde. I played with some pics for the collection

Promo Pic - (clickable thumbnail)

The Adultress Palette:

Sweet Lust - Repromote (Frost)
Thumbelina - Medium Pink (Velvet)
Tequila - Hot Pink with baby pink duotone sparkles (Lustre)
2000 Miles - Pale Pink with silvery duotone sparkles (Veluxe Pearl)
The Adultress - True Red with duotone reflective red sparkles (Frost)

Brass In Pocket - Medium Brassy colour MSF with gold and hint of silver veining (Lighter than Shooting Star, darker than Shimpagne)
The Great Pretender - Pale pink with medium pink veining and gold flecks
The English Roses - muted deep pink with silver veining through it

Shadesticks

Money Talk - muted deep green, shimmery
No Guarantee - Neutral pink with reflective red shimmer


Well thats my feeble attempt at a collection, btw i made the colours in the palette lol

[Turbokittykat]

This thread is really cracking me up. There are some great ideas here but really, Christina Aguilera, Mary J. Blige, Gwen Stefani, J.Lo and a lot of the rest of the names mentioned on this thread as icons? LOL! None of them have been around remotely long enough to be considered iconic!

If MAC ever start doing a "Famous for no Reason" collection, a "Flash in the Pan" collection or an "Almost no Impact in the Grand Scheme of Things" collection I can see the likes of Paris Hilton having a chance. Otherwise I really hope they stick to genuine icons!

I don't think everyone was saying that these people were to be considered icons. And correct me if I'm wrong but didn't MAC use Mary J. Blige along with Lil' Kim and Elton John as part of their Viva Glam promotion ?

Umm.. I've never considered those as icons- people who aren't icon's get collections with MAC (ie. Fantasia Barino from American Idol)- Madonna doesnt have a MAC collection and she is considered ICONIC. These are Idea's for free thinkers...

[ShadowyLady]

Nice work, Chic2k6! I would so buy that palette! Great shades, very coordinated and wearable.


Turbokittykat: As for the "Icons" thing...I don't think anyone was implying that. Women look to celebrities for beauty ideas, and I think people like J.Lo, Gwen, Paris, Mary J., Mariah, Christina, Madonna, etc. are all good examples of that.

I think MAC is going to be doing a lot more celebrity-inspired stuff. They're already doing a celebrity Holiday collection (Dita) and it seems to be what many MAC fans really want to see.

[Sophia84]

Turbokittykat I would prefer to see from Mac younger famous people as Icons since most of the times are more into younger ages, as a "mu Icon" I would say and not as Icon because of their career.

I chose JLo because I love her mu styles everytime and I would love to see a collection based to that kind of mu looks, JMO!
