"   Last night, M.A.C Cosmetics hosted not one, but three parties in celebration of their new fall color collection, Make-Up Art Cosmetics. But hey\u2014since M.A.C challenged three different artists\u2014Marilyn Minter (photographer), Maira Kalman (illustrator), and Richard Phillips (painter)\u2014to create works inspired by the new line, it only made sense to have a f\u00EAte for each! See below for star-studded party pics and, of course, the fabulous artwork.   \u2014Emily Hebert      Designer Isaac Mizrahi showed illustrator Maira Kalman some neighborly love (they live in the same building), and swung by her studio to show his support. The two posed for a pic with James Gager, M.A.C Senior Vice President/Creative Director.      Gossip Girl actor Ed Westwick showed painter Richard Phillips some love too\u2014via a demonstrative hand-smooch. Coincidentally, Phillips&amp;#039; 1998 painting, Spectrum, appeared on an episode of Gossip Girl.      Jessica Szohr, who came with Gossip Girl costar-slash-boyfriend Westwick, shared a laugh with NYC nightlife queen Amy Sacco.      Designers Cynthia Rowley and Erin Fetherston both made an appearance, as did models Ataui Deng and Siri Toller\u00F8d. Rowley, Fetherston, Deng, and Toller\u00F8d all popped by Phillips&amp;#039; latenight gathering.      Designer Ryan Korban and Zoe Kravitz posed with a friend at Phillips&amp;#039; party.     Marilyn Minter is a longtime fan of M.A.C\u2014and sparkle\u2014which explains how she was able to perfectly portray M.A.C&amp;#039;s new glitter pigments through the lens. After having a professional makeup artist apply makeup from the collection, Minter says she &amp;quot;went in and messed it up\u2014sprayed it with water and glycerin. I don&amp;#039;t like to retouch or clean up freckles or sweat. I like things to be gritty.&amp;quot;      Maira Kalman, whose designs have appeared in The New Yorker magazine\u2014and on friend Isaac Mizrahi&amp;#039;s fabrics\u2014thinks of M.A.C&amp;#039;s collection as &amp;quot;playful, pensive, elfin, and feminine&amp;quot; and chose to sketch a heroine who embodied these qualities.      Known for his oil paintings based on magazine photographs of fashion models and female celebrities, Richard Phillips chose to display the rich M.A.C hues as a close-up of a woman&amp;#039;s face.
