MAC Cosmetics // A Novel Romance Collection

The MAC Novel Romance collection clearly needs no explaining as the name and the visuals speak a thousands words. Does anyone else think the guy looks slightly like Phil Plea from ANTM? You know the one they made over to resemble Jesus? The line up contains romantic tones such as purple, pinks, nudes and cooler gray toned shades which were all inspired by romantic novels rather than the candlelight and sky writing version of romance.
