For the past year, Ariana Grande has been the MAC VIVA GLAM spokesperson, promoting four lipsticks and glosses. Since its inception, 100 percent of the VIVA GLAM proceeds are donated to the MAC AIDS Fund. Empire stars Taraji P. Henson and Jussie Smollet are the new MAC VIVA GLAM reps for 2017, as the brand changes ambassadors for this product annually. MAC and the actors shared the incoming 2017 MAC VIVA GLAM shades and they are utterly gorge. There's a hot pink lipstick and matching fuchsia Lipglass with which you will want to paint your pout. Henson's Empire -themed MAC collab sold out earlier this year and it makes total sense for the brand to extend its relationship with this stunner. When are the Taraji x Jussie MAC VIVA Glam lippies available to buy?
According to the press materials Bustle received from MAC, the Taraji P. Henson and Jussie Smollet MAC VIVA GLAM lipstick and Lipglass will be available in February 2017. The brand did not confirm the exact date that the lippies will be on counters or online. But at least we know they will be available to our lips in just a few months.
Observe the new VIVA GLAM hues.
Is that not the hottest pink you've ever seen? It's so rich and ripe. VIVA GLAM lip products offer a passive way to do good — drench your pucker in hot pink tones while your purchase helps men, women, and children living with AIDS.
Check out how the new VIVA GLAM pops against Henson's skin. That color was made for her. It's such a bold but wearable hot pink.
Previous VIVA GLAM lippies... all beautiful in their own way.
The current Ariana Grande x MAC VIVA GLAM lippies are $16 for the gloss and $17 for the stick. I expect the same prices for the newbies when they cruise into MAC outposts in the winter.
The Arianas are limited edition and will leave counters eventually. So while you wait for the Taraji x Jussie-repped lippies, why not grab the Ariana x MAC VIVA GLAMs before they are gone for good?
