Elton John, Mary J. Blige and Shirley Manson, from the rock band Garbage, are featured in the new MAC Viva Glam IV campaign. The 6-year-old Viva Glam project raises money for AIDS charities through the sale of a $14 lipstick. So far, MAC has raised more than $23 million. Each celebrity partner will take action over the course of the year on behalf of the MAC AIDS Fund. John's own AIDS foundation will team with the MAC AIDS Fund to work on the broader repercussions and issues of the epidemic; Blige will address the effects of HIV/AIDS on women, especially black women; and Manson will work with teens and young adults around the world to help reduce transmission rates.
