M·A·C encourages creativity and freedom 365 days a year, but there’s no better time than Halloween to truly explore the transformative power of makeup. This October, celebrates Disney’s most wickedly beautiful villain, Maleficent, with everything you need to recreate her iconic look.

In Disney’s “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil,” a sequel to the 2014 global box office hit, Maleficent and her goddaughter Aurora begin to question the complex family ties that bind them as they are pulled in different directions by impending nuptials, unexpected allies, and dark new forces at play. The years have been kind to Maleficent and Aurora. Their relationship, born of heartbreak, revenge and ultimately love, has flourished. Yet the hatred between man and the fairies still exists. Aurora’s impending marriage to Prince Philip is cause for celebration in the kingdom of Ulstead and the neighboring Moors, as the wedding serves to unite the two worlds. When an unexpected encounter introduces a powerful new alliance, Maleficent and Aurora are pulled apart to opposing sides in a Great War, testing their loyalties and causing them to question whether they can truly be family.

M·A·C provides the products to build a strong, stunning classic Maleficent look: bold and beautiful Matte Lipstick in Russian Red, ultra-shiny Clear Lipglass, deep purple Eyeshadow in Scene, smoky Eyeshadow in Print, In Extreme Dimension 3D Black Mascara and a #36 Lash set to build dramatic lashes, and Powder Blush in Harmony to emphasize cheekbones. To supplement and enhance, the Maleficent collection also includes Studio Fix Sculpt and Shape Contour Palette, Studio Fix Fluid, Lip Pencils in Vino and Cherry, Pro Longwear Fluidline in Blacktrack, and Pro Longwear Concealer.

To play upon the co-existence of darkness and light in the film, artists from around the world have created a how-to face charts inspired by Maleficent that show countless ways to interpret the Mistress of Evil’s trademark look. Regan Rabanal, from APAC chose to highlight vivid green eyes; others deepened brows or added a vinyl shine to lips.

“Maleficent is one of the most iconic Disney Villains of all time. People love the fact that she’s really just a good girl gone bad – a ferocious, refined fairy. What I love about my Maleficent-inspired look is that I really used the eye makeup look to communicate her characteristics. As a child I was fascinated by her sage colored skin from the original Disney film which inspired me to create a stronger, dramatic eye using the Art Library Palette in “It’s Designer.” Really go for that deep-set crease she has and add a soaring arch to your eyebrow. What I love about Halloween is bringing characters to life, and I think Maleficent is a timeless choice!” — REGAN RABANAL, SENIOR MANAGER MAKEUP ARTISTRY, COSMETICS APAC
