This year’s MET Gala saw a sea of reds, black, and sparkles. It was, however, music superstar Rihanna who made all fashionistas gasp with delight with her lavish, golden yellow fur-trimmed cape. The pop diva’s red-carpet winning look was the masterpiece of Chinese haute-couture designer Guo Pei.

Now, Guo Pei’s excellent artistry will receive worldwide attention once again with her upcoming work with MAC Cosmetics. As the company’s latest collaborator, Guo Pei joins a long list of revered fashion heavyweights, including Giambattista Valli, Proenza Schouler, and Prabal Gurung.

The 16-piece MAC-Gui Pei collection will feature lip gloss, eye shadow, and blush in shades of coral, pink, and blue and will be available in fall. The collection will also be housed in an exquisite packaging embossed with a delicate flower pattern. In fact, the preview photo of the collection is creating a lot of buzz online, with some confessing that the MAC-Gui Pei collaboration is “so beautiful you will want to buy it just for the packaging.” Not surprising given that the packaging is inspired by eight of the Chinese designer’s couture dresses.

To say that MAC fans are not excited about the collection is an understatement. The collaboration with China’s beloved couturier is another sure hit for the cosmetics giant, one that will be coveted by the brand’s loyal customers and makeup aficionados.
