MAC Cosmetics listened to the call of beauty enthusiasts everywhere and answered with a highly anticipated return, the "Nudes" Collection. The legendary brand is permanently reintroducing its iconic lip shades from the '90s — "Fleshpot," "Peachstock," "Folio,"  and "Stone." The shade "Cool Spice," which is the 2025 version of the color that Linda Evangelista made popular (with help from makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin's ), will also make an appearance. These cult-favorite hues, sported by the likes of Naomi Campbell, became the epitome of glam during this time. If you've ever tried to channel that signature nude look from this golden era, these are the tones that defined it. Now, they're back for good — bringing a supermodel-approved aesthetic to your routine.

This range is made up of five different products: the Lip Pencil, "MACximal Silky" Matte Lipstick, "Sleek Satin" Lipstick, "Powder Kiss" Liquid Lipcolour and "Lustreglass Sheer-Shine" Lipstick. Additionally, new colors like "Cool Teddy," "Chestnut" and "It's Personal" will be making their debut in the collection.

These renowned shades were makeup staples, integral in shaping the edgy beauty we still adore today. Cindy Crawford, Pamela Anderson, Courteney Cox and Mary J. Blige embraced these hues, catapulting the success of "Spice" specifically. In the late '90s and early '00s, "Spice" graced the lips of practically every celebrity, solidifying its place in cosmetics history.

Below, take a look through some photos of these stars rocking the famous lip liner and you'll see just how universal this color is.
