Rezensionen / Stimmen
"There is almost no text in this oversized, 250-page hardcover, but the photos speak volumes. Models in Candycolored eyeshadows and lipsticks showcase the boundary-pushing aesthetic that has been MAC's signature since its 1987 launch. While the makeup looks in this book may be too bold for you to copy completely, they just may inspire you to be a little bit more fearless when you're getting ready for your next Saturday night out. If you're looking for a gift for a beauty addict, this is it - you know she has enough makeup." -Metro NY
"...an ode to the paring of skin with makeup and a feast of inspirational portrait ideas. The book's 200 chroma-driven images comprise a lustrous swipe file of unconventional, ingenious makeup treatments-some over the top, some surprisingly elegant-each with a different iteration of Aldridge's well-developed sense of fantasy." -Rangefinder
"Forget about tutorials and trends -- James Gager, MAC's Senior VP and Group Creative Director, isn't interested in showing ready-to-wear, traditional makeup looks. He's more interested in storytelling. And with the help of high-fashion photographer Miles Aldridge, Gager has done just that with Miles of MAC, a compilation of epic poetry, imaginary characters, and voyeuristic vignettes, all told through striking images that showcase the makeup giant's artistic prowess. Since its start in 1984, MAC, has intrigued and inspired countless artists, all of who come together to discuss the impact that the company has had on their lives and work in this striking tome. Filled with pages of vibrantly styled images, Gager and Aldridge's book perfectly captures the innovative, risk-taking spirit that has carried the brand through the past 30 years." -Nylon
