The classic romance novel heroine may seem to trip into the arms of her Fabio and live happily ever after, but behind the scenes there's a bit more to it. A carefully curated makeup look is required to properly evoke lust on the helm of a ship and win over your hero. MAC's new A Novel Romance color collection contains everything you need to create seductive eyes, provocative lips, and flushed cheeks in order to become your best cover model self. Click through to be inspired by the rest of the campaign and start lusting over the new products, available online at maccosmetics.com starting August 14 and in stores August 21.
