Get ready for Brooke Shields for MAC cosmetics









Brooke Shields, aka the eyebrow queen of the world, has just been announced as MAC cosmetics' latest collaborator. The actress has been a style icon for decades and has perhaps been best known for her natural beauty. Need I mention Blue Lagoon? It's hard to believe Brooke Shields needs any makeup at all, but alas, we all grow up and of course past the age of 14 she would be playing with cosmetics to enhance what nature gave her. Although, let's be honest - could you ever imagine those world renowned brows ever needing any help? We always picture Brooke Shields sitting at home looking at Cara Delevingne and shaking her head. Really, the eyebrows began with Brooke.







Whoops, getting off track here.







So, the Brooke Shields for MAC cosmetics collection is hitting stores in October. WWD tells us it will feature a very different look for MAC, being presented in gray and orange packaging. Oh, and just to put any speculation to bed, Brooke does offer a product or two for the brows. Can you say instant best seller?
