The much anticipated MAC Marilyn Monroe makeup collection appears to be well worth the wait. Check out the alternatives the renowned label brings to help us recreate the diva's iconic look.

If there's one diva that has massively influenced the definition of sexiness over the decades it's definitely Marilyn Monroe. The diva has become a symbol of sultriness and it comes as no surprise that her amazing beauty has become the source of inspiration for many products. MAC Cosmetics is currently paying a tribute to the diva with a collection which helps women recreate a similar sultry look. The collection will only hit the shelves later this year, but this doesn't stop us from enjoying the offerings, at least visually, right now.

The new collection comes with a multitude of fun choices and an ultra classy packaging that fits the diva's allure. Artistic touches and a series of ultra flattering tones are the focus of the newest MAC collection which proves fairly comprehensive. Here are some of the alternatives the label brings for the new season:
