Owning a Sherman just got a whole lot cheaper: the conceptual photographer and filmmaker will release an artistic collection with the make-up brand come September.

Sherman's Untitled #96 might be the most expensive photo print ever purchased (it sold for $3.89 million at a Christie's auction), but her products for the cult beauty brand can be yours from $14.50 for a lipstick to $38 for an eyeshadow palette.

MAC has released three visuals to tease the range, depicting the artist in exaggerated looks (one is very literally clownish) meant to demonstrate the "power of transformation": she embodies an "off-kilter Hitchcock heroine," a "fresh corpse," a "Caravaggio Portrait," and a "Park Avenue Plastic Surgery Maven."

While these personae - who again question women's role in society and the media, the leitmotif of Sherman's work - inspired three different collections, each coming with lipsticks, eyeliners, and eyeshadows, it is up to you whether to combine them for a more avant-garde or classic look.

The limited-edition collection becomes available on September 29.
