Not just someone who is pretty, glam or popular. For that reason, I think I'd object if anyone under 40 were chosen to make an Icon collection for. People like (say) Kate Hudson, Angelina Jolie, Beyonce or Scarlett Johansson may be icons in the making, but they haven't paid their dues to ascend to that level yet. Naming them as icons just seems as wrong as when critics call new movies or novels "instant classics!" It's oxymoronic!

good point...well i'd definately stick with my goldie hawn suggestion then

she's be amazing!
maybe john travolta then too...saturday night fever lol

 

[Pink_minx]

Gwen!

 

[scissor_sister]

MADONNA!!!!!!withmakeup names like: frozen,music,vogue,fever,rain,deeper and deeper, erotica, three different eye palettes Like a virgin, Ray of light and who's that gir. Stop me I'm going insane!!!!!!!!!!l

 

[Shawna]

I definitely think they need to use more men. I would love to see RuPaul and Elton back, and I would be all over the Marilyn Manson project. *drools thinking about the reds in that collection*

 

[MACgirl]

i agree with the being to young to be icons, while they are all good candidates, they are "icons in the making" but the icons i would LOVE to see and think mac proab is or has considerd them are :

Sophia Loren
Madonna
Cher
Cyndi lauper
Pat benetar
Twiggy
Deborah Harry

and as for the icons inthe making i think they shoudl release a "Young Hollywood" realese every year profiling the stars that arent yet icons but have and will make an impact in the industry, those on my list are:

Scarlett Johanson
Gwen stefani
Nicole richie
Christina Aguilera
Tyra banks
Dita Von teese

 

[banana]

Gwen, Kylie, Kate Moss, and I'd love to see a Bollywood stars collection even though I don't know them, they are so beautiful

 

[pumpkincat210]

I agree with you on Nicole Richie, she's like a transformation queen, I'd love to see MAC do some wild make up on her. She could pull anything off.
Twiggy has also been one of my favorites and i was sooo excited when i found out she was gonna be a judge on America's Next top model. She's so beautiful!

I love this idea. I was thinking the same thing when I read the question.

I also like the Cyndi Lauper, Debbie Harry, & Pat Benatar picks. Joan Jett would be cool too.

 

[supko]

I totally agree with all the great lady rockers from the 70s-80s: Joan Jett, Cyndi Lauper, Tina Turner, Cher, Debby Harry, Pat Benatar - and Chrissie Hynde too (I can never have enough black eyeliner!)

I'd also love a classic Charlie's Angels or Dynasty (Crystal and Alexis) collection.

Love the Bowie and Iman / Marilyn and Dita ideas -- I'd also love a Grace Jones & Duran Duran campaign too.

Along the lines of Catherine Deneuve - Sophia Loren, Ava Gardner, Jane Russell, Rita Hayworth, and Josephine Baker would kick a$$ too.

Not that they could be American icons but before Bollywood was called Bollywood there were some classic faces of the Indian movie scene including the glamorous Rekha, Zeenat Aman and Sharmila Tagore. The actresses now are soooo Blandy McBland with their peroxide-orange hair!

I agree with you on ALL of these. I would freak out with the Twiggy, Cyndi, and Debbie collections especially...can you imagine the amazing packaging they would use for Twiggy? All mod and amazing...I'm hyperventilating.

 

[EmGloss]

I would love to see Gwen Stefani, Cyndi Lauper or Debbie Harry.

 

[marissa]

Gwen! I think her collection would include an amazing red lipstick and 4 cute eyeshadows of love, angel, music and baby

 

[jess98765]

Angelina Jolie, Gwen Stefani, Brittany Murphy, Drew Barrymore- anyone really who has natural beauty!!

Gwen Stefani. I am not a fan of her style cuz she's really out there but it totally works for her. She's got something really unique about her. I think she would be perfect.

Dita Von Teese would also be really nice. Very glamourous. Take a step back in time.

I would love to see Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai. She is so beautiful but she is signed on with Loreal.

 

[Copper_Sparkle]

David Bowie/Iman *would* be a great idea, but, don't forget... she has her own makeup line(s)

 

[Sushi_Flower]

Aishwarya Rai would be amazing for a glamourous, ethnic/Bollywood inspired collection with colours that i would probably love if they were made for Indian skin tones. But yeh she's with L'oreal!

 

[openscrt]

Cyndi lauper hands down for me. She is totally unique and absolutely stunning at the age of 50+. A true original who has used make up to express herself through the years. LOVE her!

With a quad or other item named "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!" How perfect!

 

[chocula]

David Bowie!
Gina Gershon and Sophia Lauren together
Madonna, Gwen, Cher

I'd like to see a tribute collection to Kevyn Aucouin, maybe with a special item or items whose proceeds go to the AIDS fund in Kevyn's name.

I love the Marilyn and Dita idea. His makeup is always fantastic to see.

 

[MeganGMcD]

80s rocker chic collection would KICK A&&!!!
