Henson took to Instagram to share the good news with her fans, noting in her caption that the collection will be available in September, both online and in select stores. “So excited to share this! My @MACcosmetics collection is coming! Online & at select stores in Sept. #MACTaraji #VirgoSeason” The collection will include a black eyeliner, mascara, two shades of MAC’s signature Mineralize Skinfinish highlighter, a face brush, and a lipstick coyly named, _Strip Me Down_; if the announcement photos are any indication, Cookie’s glow is going to be a hot commodity this fall. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4463102/taraji-p-henson-is-launching-a-makeup-collaboration-with-mac-cosmetics/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4463102/taraji-p-henson-is-launching-a-makeup-collaboration-with-mac-cosmetics/"},"headline":"Taraji P.
