Actually, Yes, I think you are!

Originals have a lust for life that can never be squelched! Some classics can’t be improved upon – from Carol Channing to Björk to Blondie, Bowie, and every glam rocker and tightrope walker in-between. This season M•A•C pays tribute to all the high flyers, in the shades, shadows and styles that have stayed with us for all these years, and some of the late-greats we discontinued all too soon. It’s a throwback to the future. Originals are now and forever.

As most of you have heard (and from the hauls I’ve seen on some of the beauty blogs), the M•A•C Originals collection is out on counters and in stores now. And to celebrate everyone’s individuality, M•A•C is running an “Are You A M•A•C Original?” contest.

Launching nationally through the M•A•C website, the contest will also run regionally in 6 key cities across the United States: New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Las Vegas, San Francisco and Houston.

Here’s how it works:

National Contest – To enter the “Are You A M•A•C Original?” contest on a national level, consumers can visit www.maccosmetics.com starting now to submit a picture of themselves wearing their favorite M•A•C products, along with 50 words on what makes them a M•A•C Original. The winner will be determined by votes online and will receive a $1,000 M•A•C gift card and the complete Originals collection.

Regional Contest – On a regional level, M•A•C will hold the “Are You A M•A•C Original” Contest in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Las Vegas, San Francisco and Houston on the weekend of January 4th-6th – that’s THIS weekend! M•A•C customers can visit designated M•A•C locations for a complimentary makeup application and get a professional photograph taken. Customers can then enter to be the MAC Original winner of the city and will also be automatically entered into the national contest. The regional winner will receive a $250 M•A•C gift card, the complete Originals collection and a story in a local publication – hot diggity!

I know each and everyone of you are an Original and I’d love to see some of your pictures up on the M•A•C site! Good Luck!!
