The new Marc Jacobs Beauty Collection will launch exclusively at Sephora on Aug. 9, showcasing the designer's makeup vision and creativity through a wide range of colors and innovative formulas and textures.

As with the designs in his own eponymous designer collections, and as creative director for Louis Vuitton, his work embodies the spirit of youth, confidence and experimentation, inspiring others to push boundaries and create their own style, here by indulging in provocative shades and new textures to suit his definition of beauty as "imperfectly perfect."

In a press release quotation, he said, “I see beauty in many things and I am attracted to all sorts of imperfection. ... It's unexpected and surprises you."

In coming up with the color collection, he considered the makeup ritual, and said, “I think the idea of transforming into this person you want to be, is a lot of fun.”

The assortment of 16 complexion and color cosmetics, and makeup brushes, includes:

>> Genius gel super-charged foundation ($48): Hydrates skin with coconut water extracts, available in 16 shades.


Marc Jacobs Remedy Concealer Pen is intended to combat signs of overindulgence and late-night revelry.

>> Remedy Concealer Pen ($39): An all-in-one corrector and brightener to fix flaws and erase the aftermath of an all-nighter. Available in seven shades, plus one Universal Brightener and one Universal Corrector.

>> Perfection Powder Featherweight Foundation ($46): Ultra-light powder foundation diffuses flaws and removes shine for all-day wear or mid-day touchups. Available in 10 shades.

Marc Jacobs Style Eye-Con No. 7 "The Vamp" palette with seven hues befitting its moniker.

>> Style Eye-Con Nos. 3 and 7 Plush Shadow ($42 and $59): Richly pigmented shadow palettes with shimmering metallics, buttery mattes and lustrous sheens with a creamy finish.

>> Magic Marc'er Precision Pen Eyeliner ($30): Waterproof liquid liner in a shade so intensely black, it's been dubbed Blacquer. Calligraphy-shaped pen enhances ease of use for a precise line every time.

>> Lash Lifter Gel Volume Mascara ($26): This formula works like Spandex to lift lashes without a lash-plucking curler. Intended for extreme wear to be flake- and run-proof, yet wash off in warm water.

Marc Jacobs Lust for Lacquer Lip Vinyl in "Lust for Life" red with gold shimmer.

>> Lust for Lacquer Lip Vinyl ($28): Plumping lipgloss with shine and a champagne-grape infused formula that moisturizes, available in 12 music-inspired sheer and full shades.

>> Lovemarc Lip Gel ($30): Highly pigmented, gellified lipstick plumps with 3-D optical volumizers. Available in 16 shades inspired by the designer's favorite films.
