and the M.A.C PRO Team can be booked for 'on-call' private makeup
appointments through M.A.C's Artist Relations Team.

All celebrities receiving the M-A.C experience will leave with a
'touch-up kit', including key M-A.C products to maintain their stunning red
carpet look. This year MAC Cosmetics and the BFI will also be introducing
the Style Suite in the sleek W Hotel, London Leicester Square for the
entirety of the festival where MAC will be offering makeup appointments to
film and industry talent and VIP guests. Aveda and Clinique will also be on
hand to offer male hair appointments and male grooming.

MAC Artist Relations actively liaises with the world's film, television,
music and theatrical industries. The

MAC PRO Team, comprised of MAC's stable of senior make up artists, can
be found on-set at photo shoots, backstage at the international fashion
shows, behind the scenes at award nights, creating the onscreen looks for
top celebrities or supplying techniques and tips to the world's media. MAC
Cosmetics and the MAC PRO Team have become a permanent fixture in the film
community, providing their services at other industry events including:

M.A.C's hot top five products used in the world of Film and TV over the
last twelve months for dramatic moments include M.A.C Careblend Pressed
Powders and M.A.C PRO Performance HD Airbrush Foundation for a camera
flawless look! Hot spot proof M.A.CBlot Film is a favourite for sticky
moments and quick as a flash application. M.A.C Fluidline Blacktrack is a
must for a smudge-proof look during those tear jerking story lines. As
always M.A.C Wipes were a must on all sets to remove all traces of makeup at
the end of the day.
