M·A·C Cosmetics and China’s best known maximalist fashion designer Chris Chang, have collaborated on an extravagantly colorful cosmetics collection inspired by Poesia, Chang’s vibrant and bold ready-to-wear line.

“China’s most outlandish fashion designer puts an acid-soaked twist on her modern M·A·C collection, featuring a vivid kaleidoscope of cutting-edge colour, inspired by the ancient Chinese art form Kunqu. Surreal hues of Lipstick, Cream Colour Base and Eye Shadow, and uniquely designed packaging, are saturated with her signature dramatic flair,” commented MAC’s creative team.
