One of the reasons why I can associate well with MAC is because I share their values. MAC is about non-discrimination and non-judgmental. As you know, the brand’s credo is “All ages, all sexes, all races” and that is something I fervently believe in. We really shouldn’t judge others for their lifestyle choices and the last thing we need to be is a moral guardian.

That brings us to the collaboration between MAC and Caitlyn Jenner. Caitlyn has come to represent courage, fearlessness, honesty and compassion — characteristics long-prized and celebrated by MAC. I admire the fact that Caitlyn faces the world with such aplomb and confidence, she gives hope and courage to others like her.

The new MAC Caitlyn Jenner lipstick is in mid-tone rosy nude (cremesheen) and will be available exclusively online in April at RM74. One hundred percent of the sales from her signature shade, Finally Free, will benefit the MAC AIDS Fund Transgender Initiative to expand its support of much needed grants to organizations and programs dedicated to improving transgender lives.
