MAC Cosmetics launches limited‑edition Basquiat‑inspired makeup collection

MAC Cosmetics has released a limited‑edition six‑piece makeup line created in partnership with the estate of late artist Jean‑Michel Basquiat. The collection, described by MAC global creative director Nicola Formichetti as a "love letter" to Basquiat, features eye paints, a multipurpose eye‑and‑face chalk, a crown‑adorned lipstick, and a set of artist‑style brushes. Prices range from $29 for loose powder pigments to $120 for the brush set.

The products become available on 7 August 2026 in selected MAC stores and through major retailers such as Ulta Beauty, Nordstrom, Macy’s and Selfridges in the United States and United Kingdom. The launch follows MAC’s recent Viva Glam campaign and precedes the release of a Netflix documentary on Basquiat.
