MAC Cosmetics have just announced yet another exciting
collaboration that they’re set to take part in – they’re teaming up with Disney
to create a special collection just for the upcoming Maleficent film which
stars Angelina Jolie. The collection will feature 11 pieces in total with eye,
lip, face and nail products being created for the new film. The special effects
makeup artist for the film, Rick Baker, commented on the MAC products,
revealing that he hopes to make it look very realistic and even quite simple:
"There are things that you
can do in a drawing that you can't necessarily do in the real world in a movie,
and this is a really kind of different take on Maleficent too. They [Disney]
didn't particularly want that."
He adds that the look isn’t
typical because Angelina will appear quite natural besides the horns they have
given her for the part and he has worked with the actress to translate her
ideas into reality regarding her beauty look:
"I actually would have loved
to have duplicated the Maleficent that we all know and love. But also when you
have Angelina Jolie you don't really wanna cover up that much or do that much.
Frankly, I said I don't think we should do too much of anything to her except
for the horns. Angie had some very specific ideas that she wanted and my job
was to try and interpret her ideas and put my aesthetic into it and make it
work."
He is happy with the final result:
"The makeup that we did I
think is cool."
