If you never thought you'd see Nicki Minaj and Ricky Martin advertising makeup together, think again. The popular rapper and Puerto Rican pop star have been chosen by MAC Cosmetics as the faces of its 2012 Viva Glam lipstick campaign.
In case you're one of the five makeup lovers worldwide who haven't yet heard of Viva Glam, it is a program geared towards supporting the MAC AIDS Fund. The entire sale price of each lipstick is donated to the fund to help fight HIV and AIDS. Since the Viva Glam's institution, the campaign has raised $224 million for the cause.
Following such successes as the ever-popular Viva Glam Gaga and Viva Glam Cyndi come the wonderfully named Viva Glam Nicki and Viva Glam Ricky. The picture for the campaign features Nicki Minaj leaning on a motorcycle while Ricky Martin flexes his biceps in front of a graffiti-like background splashed with hot pink. It's an advertisement that's pretty hard to miss. The lipsticks, both in shades of pink, make their debut in February, retailing for $14 at department stores and online at MAC Cosmetics.
