Make-up that’s Marge approved! But no yellow face paint and a giant blue beehive are required! Here is another odd couple partnering together, one that you might have never thought of: M·A·C collaborates with The Simpsons™ on a limited-edition makeup line launching in Switzerland as an online exclusive and other countries in September 2014. (It had been pre-sold before for one day only during the San Diego convention COMIC-CON in July).
The ten-piece collection contains eyeshadows (CHF 66.00), blushes (CHF 36.00), false eyelashes (CHF 21.00), lip glosses (CHF 28.00) and some fun nail stickers (CHF 25.00).
