M.A.C Cosmetics Pitches up at the 2011 Isle of Wight Festival!

LONDON, June 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

M.A.C Cosmetics and the M.A.C Pro Team decamped to the legendary Isle of Wight Festival to keep a host of top celebrities, performers and guests looking refreshed from dusk until dawn.

As the festival celebrated its 10^th anniversary in its current incarnation, the M.A.C Pro Team were on hand to provide the ultimate festival makeup facilities for guests in the coveted IOW Festival Hospitality area and in the Artist Village all weekend.

M.A.C Pro Artists also had their brushes at the ready backstage in the festival green rooms where they provided makeup services to key talent performing over the weekend. They created a dazzling theatrical look for singer Pixie Lott who opted for a nude lip created using M.A.C Pencil in Boldly Bare with M.A.C Clear lipglass on the top.  She also chose M·A·C Eyeshadows in Contrast and Electric Eeel, as well as M.A.C Glitter in Reflex Teal finished off with M.A.C Technakohl in Graph Black and M.A.C Fluidline in Blacktrack to create a bold blue hued eye. Pixie also wanted a festival touch to her look so M.A.C Pro Trainer Dean Rudd painted ornate blue flower buds on the side of her face using M.A.C Pro Acrylic Paints in Marine Ultra and Pure White.

Female singer Imelda May requested M·A·C Lipstick in Ruby Woo (which she "can't live without!"), M·A·C StudioFix Fluid in NC20, M.A.C Mineralise Skin Finish in Light and M.A.C Liquidlast Liner in Point Black to create her signature Rockabilly look.

Performer Sharon Corr wore M.A.C Eyeshadow in Copperplate, M.A.C Eye Kohl in Smolder and M·A·C Opulash Mascara on her eyes. M·A·C Lipstick in Cosmo and M·A·C Lip Pencil in Soar were applied to her lips.

M.A.C provided the make up for new girl band Parade who took to the stage on Saturday night. Sian opted for a bright pink lip using M.A.C Lipstick in Impassioned coupled with a black flick on her eyes using M.A.C Fluidline in Blacktrack. Bianca chose a black smokey eye which was created using M.A.C's Eye Kohl in Smolder, M.A.C Paint Pot in Blackground, M.A.C Fluidline in Blacktrack and M.A.C Zoom Lash Mascara in Fast Black for full fluttering lashes. Emily decided on a black winged out eye and a pale pink lip using M.A.C's new Sheen Supreme Lipstick in Behave Yourself. Lauren selected a bright neon lip which was created using M.A.C Lipstick in Morange with M.A.C Neon Orange Pigment packed on top for extra drama. Last but by no means least, Jessica selected a grey smokey eye using M.A.C Paint Pot in Blackground and M.A.C Eyeshadow in Reflects Antiqued clubbed with M.A.C Zoomlash Mascara in Zoom Black. M.A.C's Viva Glam Lipstick in Lady Gaga 2 was applied to her lips for a subtle peach look.

Breakthrough singer Laura Steel opted for a pop-punk look. Her fierce eyes were created using M.A.C Paint Pot in Painterly, M.A.C Eyeshadows in Gesso, Silver Ring, Carbon and Embark. M·A·C Fascinating Eye Pencil, M·A·C Zoom Lash in Zoom Black and #33 Lashes were also applied. Her dark rimmed red lips were a combination of M.A.C Lip Pencil in Nightmoth and Brick and M·A·C Lipstick in Ruby Woo.

Many of the VIP's and Talent that visited the M.A.C area in hospitality requested glitter… and the colour of choice for lips was M.A.C's Lady Danger Lipstick. M.A.C Paintpots in Groundwork and Constructivist were some of the most popular requests.
