MAC Cosmetics Launch Party: A Night to Remember in West Village
Friday night in New York City saw an influx of downtown it-girls flocking to People’s, a hot spot in the West Village, to celebrate the collaboration between Alex Consani and JT with MAC Cosmetics. The duo, known for their chic style and vibrant personalities, played the role of gracious hosts as they mingled with friends, posed for photos, and danced the night away.
The venue was adorned with sculptural floral arrangements inspired by lip gloss, a nod to the beauty products at the center of the collaboration. MAC touch-up stations were strategically placed throughout the space, allowing guests to refresh their looks and keep the party vibes going strong. The menu featured a playful mix of caviar, burgers, and fries, reflecting the glamour and authenticity of the muses being celebrated.
As rap tracks filled the air and cameras flashed, guests enjoyed the company of friends and the opportunity to indulge in some makeup magic. For Alex and JT, both longtime MAC fans, the evening was a dream come true. “It’s just a really special moment,” shared Consani. “Especially for little me, who used to go to MAC and swatch everything. Now I get to have my own and be part of the creation process—it’s amazing.”
JT echoed the sentiment, expressing gratitude for the surreal experience of seeing her face on MAC products. “It’s a dream come true,” she said. “Seeing all the girls in stores buying my lip kit with my face on it? Even my mom sent me a photo from Macy’s—she was buying it too. It’s a dream come true.”
The lip kits, personalized with the creators’ signatures, offer a curated selection of must-have products for achieving the perfect pout. Alex’s kit features a sun-kissed neutral shade with hints of coral, topped off with a clear gloss for a lacquered finish. “I wanted it to be about feeling gorgeous,” she explained. “When I do a lip, it’s really just an extension of myself.”
JT’s lip combo includes a chestnut liner paired with the iconic pink lipstick Snob, finished with a clear gloss for a juicy look. “Being myself is Snob—because I’m a snob,” JT joked. “I’ve been wearing Snob forever. Before I even knew how to put on foundation, I had a Snob lip.”
These gloss kits are perfect for summer adventures, whether it’s studio sessions and performances for JT or seaside celebrations for Alex. “I’m going to Ibiza with my best friends in a few days,” Alex shared. “It’s my birthday on the 23rd, so I’ll definitely be wearing my lip combo. I’m excited to go out, have fun, and look sexy doing it—now that I have my little combo.”
