Wonder Woman is swooping in to save you from plain Jane beauty fate.

DC Comics' most iconic heroine of all time is teaming up with MAC Cosmetics for a Spring 2011 makeup collection inspired by Wonder Woman's blue, red and gold bustier leotard, her cunning super power-meets-glamazon charms, and a strong punch of what the beauty brand is calling her "kick-sass" girl power.

You'll get more pretty for your penny with this collection, as must-haves like the berry-toned lipglasses, metallic shimmer pigment powders and mineralize skinfinish compacts will all come in oversized packaging meant to mimic the larger-than-life heroine's taste for all things big.

(Ad visuals show our favorite lady's bustline and raven locks aren't left out of that Texas-like bigger-is-better equation. Take that, She-Ra!)

Metallic makeup pouches and clever "tool belts" come equipped with limited-edition blue short-handled makeup brushes, because you'll need to powder your nose and touch up that sexy eyeliner smudge in between your bad guy slaying kicks and inter-galactic battles.

With clever names like "Lady Justice," "Insurmountable," "Bold Babe," and "Deep Truth," we're obsessing over the sleek eye quad palettes that feature pearlized highlighters and deep plums, metal blues and gun grays that will make for the perfect "kick-sass" smoky eye.

Other highlights include super-sized colored mascaras, trademark red and blue nail lacquers, and adorable lipstick bullets hugged in corset-like gold with a red star emblem, that come in vixen shades of red, grape and fleshy nude pink.

Can you say fun?

The inspiration behind the creative partnership came from a distinct type of feminine energy that experts say you'll see more of come springtime.

"For spring, we have seen that one of the biggest outstanding trends is a very early, fresh '70's look. Think a shampoo commercial from 1972, or a Cheryl Tiegs or Farrah Fawcett type of girl," says Gordon Espinet, vice president of global makeup artistry for MAC Worldwide.

The collection will be on MAC counters February 10 through mid-April, with prices ranging from $14 for Nail Lacquer to $21 for Pigment powder and $35 for Mineralize Skinfinish.

As to how to pull off the bright bursts of color in the collection, Espinet advises that you focus on one feature.

"I love a rich lip, and an easy-to-wear technique is to concentrate the color near the center of your lips and fade as you get nearer to your lip line. That way, you avoid a heavy outline and create a bright lip that's still kissable, not threatening," says Espinet.

Powerful, kissable, yet non-threatening? Rock on, Super Woman -- and we can't wait to come play, too.

And in other spring makeup news, Dolce & Gabbana is celebrating another kind of femininity -- the seductress.

Watch the video below for six easy smoky eye makeup steps, and you'll have a smoldering gaze like Wonder Woman in minutes.

Is this for real? Let me check my calender to make sure it's not April 1st. If that compact is an example, the whole line will look like some kind of children's toy. Of course, it'll go over big at comic book conventions. W.W. fans will snatch them up for their collection. Outside of that, I don't see this line going anywhere except down the crapper IF it's real.

This isn't supposed to be for men. Especially Republican cranks like you & all those comic book fanboys.

Leave it to a dumb blonde democrat to be able to determine your party affiliation based on your observation. I guess when you that much hate stored up inside, it just spews out no matter WHAT the topic of conversation is. I'm a woman, and considering what MAC charges for makeup, I expect a slick, expensive looking product, not something that looks like it belongs to a clown. You're right, I think the only people that would buy something like this are comic book collectors. I wonder if they are going to come out with a line for Trekkies?

This can't be for real!! It looks like it's targeting little girls, no self respecting young woman would take that out in public OR buy it in public. If it's going to make it they have to change the packaging.

I'm a nerd AND a makeup junkie. Also a sucker for packaging. So yes, I do adore the look of the product. The only thing a makeup lover should really be concerned about is the quality of what's inside.

Stop taking yourselves so seriously. I have self respect, I am a woman, and I'm confident enough to be myself and not care what anyone else thinks.

Also, considering the popularity of superheroes (think of the blockbuster movie trend), I doubt it will fail.

For the two dumb azz complaining people who i can tell don't know crap about the MAC makeup brand. Here a little info for you. through out the year mac puts out special edition products. so happen this year the Wonder Woman collection is the newest special edition. the previous collection was the venomous villain collection that feature some of the disney female villains. Maybe she thought the other person was a republican cause they are usually some of the most close minded people who form opinion on things without having all the facts.on the other-hand Politics and makeup has no business being discuss together, it's just wrong!!!!!!!
