Beauty news: M.A.C loves the magnificent Maleficent

There is definitely something to be said for Angelina Jolie’s marvellous Maleficent, with her perfectly arched eyebrows, piercing bright green eyes and blood-red lips. Consequently, it comes as no surprise that M.A.C Cosmetics has created a capsule collection to complement Disney's highly anticipated live-action "Sleeping Beauty" remake, and that it will inevitably be a huge hit for the brand.

This isn't the first time that M.A.C has used "Maleficent" as their muse. The company released a killer "Venomous Villain" collection in Fall 2010 inspired by four characters: Cruella de Vil, "Snow White's" Evil Queen, "The Princess and the Frog's" De Falicier, and  "Sleeping Beauty's" Maleficent.

The company has yet to debut the collection's photos, but I’m expecting a collection focused on dark, dramatic and eye-catching colours that mix glam with more than a touch of luxe goth. Toni G was Jolie's makeup artist on set, and legendary special makeup effects artist Rick Baker created added elements to complete Jolie's character look.

The eleven-piece assortment will have its global debut next Northern summer, and include face, eye, lip and nail products. M.A.C summed up the new product line in a few striking words: "Being bad never looked so good…” and I could not agree more.
