Kabuki worked on all the amazing makeup looks on Sex and the City as well as on Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Gwen Stefani and Katy Perry.

“MAC gave me complete freedom with this collection and I turned my wish list into reality. Whether you’re a make-up artist or if you just like getting dolled up, I think you will love the colours, textures and long-lasting wearability of these products,” he said.

Kendal’s collection focuses on a creamy bronze lid and strobed cheeks with a bold lip. Unsurprising considering she’s collaborated with Calvin Klein in the past and worked for Balenciaga, Roberto Cavalli and Alexander Wang on their fashion shows.

“I’m very excited to have been asked to collaborate on this collection with James & Kabuki as we all have our own distinct styles which will compliment and show case the collection to its fullest,” she explained.
