First came Latte, then Espresso - and now it's time for Chestnut Makeup to shine. With rich monochromatic browns and expensive brunette hair on the rise in beauty and fashion, it makes sense that we'd see a chestnut revival. But for M·A·C, chestnut never left.

"Lip Pencil in Chestnut has been legendary since the early 90s — it's one of those colours that put M·A·C on the map," says Terry Barber, M·A·C Creative Director of Makeup Artistry. "From early hip-hop videos to today, it's a timeless classic shade that's part of every new generation's makeup staples and is constantly getting reinvented." This month, that reinvention includes a brand-new product extension: M·A·CStack Mascara in Chestnut Stack.
Like the lip colour, this chocolate brown mascara has all the makings of an icon. "With brown mascara, I usually think, 'Why bother?" says Barber. "But there's a certain colour tone in this new Chestnut shade that does something quite magical. It brightens, it sharpens the whites of the eye and it intensifies any eye colour."

Paired with juicy brown glossy balm and a soft smoky eye, the sultry makeup look goes way beyond neutral. "In addition to being an absolute timeless classic, Chestnut Makeup carries an attitude with it," says Barber. "It just gives you a bit of swagger."
