Miss Piggy For M.a.c
The Muppet Movie has exploded. Critics adore it (it got an incredible 90 percent fresh rating from Rotten Tomatoes) and the film has grossed $42 million so far—and it's up against Edward and Bella in theaters, no less.
Part of that critical acclaim and box office draw is certainly the return of Miss Piggy to the big screen. The porcine star's comeback comes complete with her own beauty line from M.A.C., featuring frosty pink eyeshadow, slick black liner, and queen-size false eyelashes inspired by the diva.
Miss Piggy Mac Cosmetics
For Allure's December issue, we asked La Piggy for a few of her beauty insights. You've experimented with different hair colors.
Why do you always go back to blonde? 'Blonde is the color of the sun and fun and high intelligence. I love how blonde hair reflects the light, giving off a golden glow that mesmerizes and, if your hairstylist is really good, temporarily blinds those around you.' Are you a natural blonde? 'That's impossible to say.
Even my roots have signed a nondisclosure agreement.' Is pink eye shadow your signature look?' Moi does look fabulous in pink eyeshadow, but I wouldn't call it my 'signature' look. That makes it sound like I have my name written on my eyelids.
Wait a second, that's not a bad idea.' The Miss Piggy-inspired MAC line features false eyelashes. Do you wear false lashes often? Eyelashes are the window treatments of the soul. No one can grow eyelashes this fabulous. It's physically impossible.
So why not give nature a little help—or in some cases, a lot of help.' Can we expect your celebrity fragrance anytime soon? What would you call it? 'I did a celebrity fragrance—and it was called 'Moi!' And it was such a big seller that they ran out.
But I'm always interested in new fragrance opportunities, just as long as I don't have to brew the stuff up in my basement.' You never age.
What's your secret? 'No original parts. Totally rebuilt from the chassis up.' You've embraced your curves. Have you ever dieted? It's an all-u-can-eat diet with only one rule: Never eat anything you can't lift. Fortunately for moi, I can bench press a dessert cart.'
What's your fitness routine?' I have a personal trainer.
He does all my exercises for moi. Hey, if I'm paying, he's sweating.' Onstage and on film, are you playing yourself, some version of yourself, a character? What vous see is what moi am. All great actresses play themselves. Playing someone else is cheating.
So the Miss Piggy you experience on the silver screen is the same one you would encounter if you were every lucky enough to meet me in person.' What did you think of your costar Amy Adams? Amy, if you're reading this: I hope you win an Oscar—unless we're nominated in the same category.'
