Dame Edna is the muse for MAC’s post-holiday collection this year and the flamboyant lady, played by Australian comedian Barry Humphries, was recently on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to discuss her upcoming collection with MAC. The line will be available in North America beginning December 26th and internationally January 2009. The packaging is quirky and will please any Dame Edna fans (you’ll find her signature glasses all over the place). That said, like the MAC Hello Kitty collection I’m not a huge fan of these kinds of collaborations and rather my makeup look sleek and simple. I couldn’t ever imagine myself pulling-out a lilac compact from my bag that was accented with outlandish glasses and glitter! For those that go for this collection though you’ll find heavy-on-the-lilac lipstick/lipglass, eye shadow, highlight powder and nail lacquers. If Dame Edna isn’t your style go for classic MAC with the MAC Chill collection where you’ll find no frills packaging and lips of Naked Frost, eyes in Arctic Grey, and a deep black velvety new Penultimate Eye Liner. More details on this and on the MAC Dame Edna line after the Jump!
