This month, MAC revealed who is heading their latest make-up collaboration, and Talent Management couldn’t approve more of their choice – fashion icon Iris Apfel.

Being a brand that always surprises us with their pick of collaborators – other favourites with Talent Management have included Gareth Pugh and Lady Gaga – the quirky and super-influential Apfel seems a fitting choice.

Her colour collection, which debuted on January 5, features a mascara, lipsticks, lip liners, beauty powder, nail lacquers and eye shadows with “as much flair and joie de vivre as the woman who helped create it”.

Considering that back in the day, Apfel used to use melted moustache wax as mascara, giving a very heavy and striking ‘Miss Piggy’ look, we can’t wait to try her mascara, ‘Opulash’. Its giant brush promises to give you big, fat, full, bouffant lashes that will make your eyes pop even through the thickest of glasses!

Not only do we love the look of this range and the products’ ornithological themed names – Pink Pigeon, Silver Gull, Toco Toucan – but we’re also big fans of Apfel’s modelling efforts.

At an incredible 90-years-old, Apfel looks amazing and we think she will have mass appeal from young to old.
