Nearly two months after unleashing her wildly successful capsule M.A.C. Cosmetics collection, Taraji P. Henson teams up with the beauty brand again for their 2016 #VivaGlam campaign.

And if you’re already familiar with the annual crusade, you know this collaboration has major meaning.

One hundred percent of the proceeds from every lipstick and lipglass sold go towards helping women, men and children living with or affected by HIV/AIDS.

This year, supporters can look forward to wearing this beautiful matte fushcia with pearl lipstick and matching shimmery gloss. It’s the perfect lip duo for those who want to make a bold statement with their makeup. 

I'm excited to announce @tarajiphenson and I are working with @MACCosmetics on the #VIVAGLAM campaign! @MACcosmetics through the #MacAIDSFund is on a mission to end AIDS and since the 90s, they’ve raised $430 million through the sales of #VivaGlam lip products. Every single cent of the sales of these products help to end HIV/AIDS. I believe that together we can end this epidemic once and for all. Love y'all. ✊🏿✌🏿️

In the ad campaign, Henson’s looking fierce in her black moto jacket and poppin’ pink pout alongside Empire co-star, Jussie Smollett, who isn’t just eye candy. He’s also a face for the collection, launching in February 2017.
