She's bigger than pre-meltdown Britney, pre-divorce Jessica, and pre-pregnancy Christina combined—and so is her fan base. MAC Cosmetics' latest collaboration brings major Asian pop star A-Mei into the international spotlight with a color collection inspired by her native Puyuma tribe in Taiwan. The line's rich palette and distinct cultural feel are a tribute both to A-Mei's Austronesian features (which means she has genetic ties in the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia) and this spring's decidedly global ethnic influences. Each product comes in a bold hue and a more subdued neutral: Eye shadows are electric blue or delicate beige, and on lips, the deep red "Ruby Woo" contrasts the flesh-colored "Siss." Meanwhile, the packaging's stitch motif was inspired by her tribe's traditional costumes. The line will be available in select MAC boutiques throughout the world
