Rihanna, Mariah Carey And More Of Our Favorite MAC Collaborations Of All Time

While we never plan to fully ditch our tried-and-true makeup staples from MAC’s original lineup, the brand is now mostly known for their impressive range of designer and celebrity beauty collaborations (as well as some with the occasional fictional character). Here, we’re rounding up 8 of the most surprising and covetable MAC collections of all time as well as 1 anticipated project in the works. From a collaboration with a superhero to one inspired by a cult-classic film of the ’70s, these makeup-bag essentials look just as good in their cases as they do on your face.

Tell us what your favorite MAC collaborations of all time are in the comments below.

The Best Of MAC

Best Nostalgic: Wonder Woman

The MAC x Wonder Woman collection was bold and beautiful—and fit for a gorgeous superhero—with red, white, blue and gold pigments.

The Collection

Best Packaging: Giambattista Valli

The MAC x Giambattista Valli collaboration made life a whole lot easier with packaging to match the color of lipstick housed inside. We're not sure why nobody thought of this before but purse digging is no longer an issue.

The Collection

Best Holiday: Prabal Gurung

The ultra-luxe gilded packaging of Prabal Gurung x MAC collaboration made for a covetable holiday gift (to give or to receive).

The Collection

Best Designer: Proenza Schouler

True to Proenza Schouler's design aesthetic, this ombre-packaged collaboration was a must-have for any fashion girl. The limited edition collection of gorgeous bright ombre powder palettes, vibrant nail lacquers, lipsticks and eye and lip pencils were instant collectibles.

The Collection

Best Halloween: Rocky Picture Horror Show

The Rocky Horror Picture Show commemorated its 40th anniversary by partnering with MAC on a unique collection of products in a moody range of rich shades that reference the outrageous and unapologetic looks of the 1975 cult-classic film's iconic characters.

The Simpsons x MAC collaboration featured doodles by the show's creator Matt Groening and surprisingly wearable yellow hues coveted by makeup enthusiasts and cartoon fanatics alike.

No stranger to a good MAC collaboration (hello, Viva Glam 2014), Rihanna released her liquid metal-inspired collection in 2013.

The Collection

Most Unexpected: Iris Apfel

Showing age is nothing but a number, Iris Apfel—New York socialite and style icon—celebrated her 90th birthday with an unconventional and undeniably adorable makeup and nail polish collaboration.
