Cindy Sherman for MAC Cosmetics

Conceptual photographer Cindy Sherman has teamed up with MAC for their latest campaign. Last we mentioned her was a year ago when she did this for Balenciaga if you remember. Basically MAC sent her the A/W colours and she did her thing presenting them in a way that only she can. First we have The Plastic Surgery Maven - a person who has went overboard on staying eternally young thru plastic surgery, ending up a sad clown and an embodiment of the times we live in. Secondly there is Caravaggio Corpse, a social comment we're guessing based on Caravaggio's Death of the Virgin in which he used the body of his drowned lover Lena who was a prostitute. The comment being to us a woman being dead on the inside and being used to sell things. Lastly we have Hitchcock Heroine, a nod to Hitchcock's notorious way to portray women in his films (we think). Do you like this campaign? MAC are known for pushing boundaries, and we like this not being another airbrushed to death beauty series convincing people to buy more stuff by promising fluffy dreams. Instead this disturning series made the blog rounds anyway.
