Una colaboración de horror que vas a amar

Por fin llegó a nuestra vida una colaboración de maquillaje para los fans from hell de la película de culto The Rocky Horror Picture Show, y a quien debemos agradecérsela es a MAC.

A partir del 2 de octubre llega a tiendas y en línea una colección que le rinde tributo a mi filme favorito de Susan Sarandon y Tim Curry, o mejor dicho, el magnífico, desquiciadísimo y maquilladísimo Dr. Frank-N-Furter.

La colección consta de labiales, esmaltes, sombras, delineadores, mascaras, glitters, polvos y hasta pestañas postizas, todas con el look & feel total de la película.

Y el timing no está nada mal, pues nuestros disfraces de Halloween se verán muy beneficiados con toda esta bonanza en forma de maquillaje.

Cuenta los días y luego lánzate por ella.
