• Accent colour : “ Every room can benefit from an accent of black to bring contrast and depth . The best way to do this is to use black to accentuate a feature , such as a staircase or fireplace , to draw your attention to the architectural highlights of your home .”
Tash Bradley , Director of Interior Design and Colour Psychologist at Lick said : “ I ’ ve always been fascinated by the unique role black plays in our lives . In fashion , it represents elegance and sophistication , however , in the world of interiors , many view black as a colour that requires a level of bravery and boldness to decorate with . We are challenging that perception , showing that M · A · C Black 40 is the colour that everyone can have in their homes . This rich , matt hue absorbs all natural light , so if you ’ ve got a room that lacks sunlight , such as a bedroom or small space , lean into that by colour drenching your space to create a calming and cocooning effect .”
Developed through Lick ’ s industry-leading formulation process , M · A · C Black 40 has unrivalled depth of colour and is made with the highest-quality pigments . This limited edition hue is inspired by M · A · C ’ s iconic branding and the new M · A · Cximal Silky Matte Lipstick in the shade Caviar .
Dom Skinner , Director of Make-up Artistry at M · A · C said : “ Celebrating M · A · C ’ s 40th year with Lick has been an honour , as black is at the heart of M · A · C ’ s DNA . What has been the most exciting part of this collaboration with Lick has been exploring the versatility of black . Showing how it can be harnessed in multiple ways from fierce rebellion to clean minimalist , from a simple sheer sweep to dynamic overdrawn intensity , black can go from cool to chic and proves why it ’ s a must for any trendsetter .”
Whether used as a dominant colour on your walls or as an accent colour on your woodwork , M · A · C Black 40 is the perfect choice for creating bold and timeless spaces . This elegant and empowering black pairs seamlessly with Lick White 02 for a high-contrast monochromatic look or Lick White 05 for a softer , neutral scheme . M · A · C Black 40 is the new go-to for interiors lovers and beauty enthusiasts alike to celebrate and elevate their style identity .
For minimalists and maximalists alike , M · A · C Black 40 is the one colour that fits all .
