M.A.C. backs THISDAY’s all-star event to raise awareness on sustainability

LONDON M.A.C Cosmetics supported the recent THISDAY’s Africa Rising all-star event at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

Singers, songwriters and international superstars Christina Aguilera and Seal headlined a star-studded line up from the world of music and fashion when THISDAY, a daily newspaper and multi-media resource out of Africa, presented the Africa Rising grand finale in London. The event was held Oct. 14.

The occasion marked the final stop on the Africa Rising four-city, three-nation tour and featured catwalk shows from African and international designers, modeled by supermodels Naomi Campbell, Alek Wek, Tyson Beckford, Oluchi and Liya Kebede.

The M.A.C PRO Team, keyed by Terry Barber, director of make-up artistry UK and Ireland, was on hand to create the looks for more than 70 models, including Campell and Wek, for catwalk shows during the evening.

Africa Rising is designed to raise awareness for African issues by finding “sustainable solutions.”
