MAC Cosmetic transforms faces into ethereal masterpieces at Gaurav Gupta's Spring/Summer '25 couture show in Paris.

Celestial Canvas

Make-up, once mere embellishment, has metamorphosed into a visceral language—a blend of colour and light that expresses identity and emotion.

Using war paint as a tool for storytelling; Gaurav Gupta's collaboration with MAC for his Spring/Summer 2025 Paris Couture Collection truly brought his vision to life. The ethereal beauty of the collection, Across the Flame, found its mirror in the make-up artistry, which turned models into celestial beings, embodying the essence of astral projection and mysticism.
