Be prepared to drop some money alright — we can’t get over how it feels like LISA, of BLACKPINK fame, is singing directly to us in her latest solo single, in reference to this latest beauty collaboration of course. After just over a year of being named the Global Ambassador of M.A.C Cosmetics, she now lends her mega star power to M.A.C x L, her first makeup collection where she had creative freedom over each product and shade, right down to the glorious sparkly purple packaging, embossed with her signature in yellow.
“I’m so excited to reveal to you one of my biggest projects so far as Global Ambassador of M.A.C Cosmetics: my very own full-face makeup collection!” exclaims LISA. “I curated the collection myself and designed every piece after things I absolutely love. Every shade, product, name and even the packaging design represents something very special to me.” The collection will be available here from 12 November, debuting at M.A.C boutiques and Sephora.
Along with LISA’s mesmerising stage presence and penchant for scene-stealing dance moves and rap lines, the k-pop artist looks to channel a similar bold expression to this makeup series. She shares that the Powder Kiss Liquid Lipcolour is her go-to formula on stage and in music videos, and here, we get the liquid lip formula in three new shades — Rhythm ‘N’ Roses, a warm pumpkin; a dusty rose Swoon For Blooms; and Pink Roses, a sweet soft pink. Some of her other favourite items make the edit too, including a Powder Blush in Melba and two Brushstroke 24-Hour Liners in Brushblack and Brushbrown, ideal for creating her signature winged liner.
The M.A.C x L collection has also gone above and beyond, in making sure there are plenty of personal touches to delight fans. LISA says that she “channelled the same passion, joy and creativity I give to making music into creating this exclusive collection for my fans”, which you’ll note on the M·A·C x L Eye Shadow Palette, a highlight of the collection. The versatile shades here are meant to empower the wearer, with the idea that the balance of mattes, shimmers and glitters allow one to confidently flaunt soft, sultry, and glam looks alike.
Several eyeshadow shades here are “inspired by my beloved cats and favourite ice cream flavour, with names such as Leo, Louis, Lily, Milk Tea Ice Cream and Candy Rapper,” she explains, while we also heard that the Extra Dimension Skinfinish comes in LISA’s favourite gold shade, now exclusively embossed with her favourite flower, the edelweiss blossom.

Much thought has been given to the product packaging as well, which reflects LISA’s bold, streetwear vibes. “I chose purple and glitter as the main look to give off a modern and glamorous feel,” she says. “Of course, my signature on the packaging had to be in one of my favourite colours – yellow! But instead of regular yellow, I went with a special fluoro-yellow to represent neon lights that give a cool, hip-hop and urban vibe to the collection.”
