Makeup for opera, concerts...

On 4 July 2011, British makeup artist Neil Young introduced the team of the Salzburger Festspiele (27 July - 30 August 2011, Austria) under the direction of Costume and Makeup Director Elke Wolters to some special tricks with MAC Cosmetics.

It's the third year that the makeup is exclusively contributed by festival partner MAC Cosmetics.

"The M.A.C and Salzburg Festival partnership is a natural fit and in line with the professional positioning of our brand. Both companies continue to re-invent and discover new boundaries of expression in various forms of performance art with artistry. Having products backstage is a tremendous testimony to M.A.C." John Demsey, Global President, MAC Cosmetics.
