Couture cosmetics

Chinese couturier Guo Pei dressed pop star Rihanna in a regal gown and cape for the annual Met Gala in New York in May and received global attention for it.

Riding on her popularity, MAC has teamed up with the designer for a limited-edition 22-piece make-up collection. It hits MAC stores at Tangs Orchard and Takashimaya Shopping Centre on Oct 2.

Guo designed the packaging - almost everything in the range is wrapped in satin printed with flowers sketched by her.

Life recommends the Brave Red lipstick ($60) and the quartet of eyeshadows Morning Light ($126). Prices start from $34 for a pot of gel eyeliner.
