The creamy, rosy pink lipstick is appropriately
named "Finally Free," and
you can get your hands on it in April. But, we have to say, the best part about
it is that 100 percent of the proceeds will benefit M•A•C's AIDS Fund Transgender
Initiative.

"MAC was the first to come to me, and
a company, I realized, would really make a big commitment. I knew the VIVA GLAM
campaigns; I saw that the proceeds were going, in those cases, mainly to AIDS
and HIV causes, and I was wondering if they were interested in doing something
specifically geared toward trans issues because we need funding. M•A•C is a
global company. It's in places around the world where not just trans issues,
but women's issues, are a major subject that you have to talk about,"
said Caitlyn in an interview with
M.A.C. She reveals how beauty has made
an impact in her transition, and how the other women in her family have
influenced her beauty choices.
Caitlyn
also mentioned to the brand that collaborating on this lipstick has been her "ultimate fantasy," and even
explained why she chose the lipstick's powerful name, Finally Free.
"I wanted a name
that I use, and which represents the community. This is who I am: Finally
Free," she said.
"I wanted a lipstick that would be
universal, suited to more people, and was an everyday lipstick, not just a
high-glam, once-in-a-while kind of lipstick. I like a little color on my lips,
not a lot during the day. And this rosy nude is the colour I've gone to. To be
honest, I want people to use it every day so they have to buy more. I want to
raise a lot of money. It's very simple," she said.
