On-screen characters are the hottest new beauty influencers, if the recent spate of buzzworthy movie and television-inspired makeup collaborations is anything to go by. Here are three you won’t want to miss.
“Game of Thrones”
After weeks of teasing, cruelty-free cosmetics brand Urban Decay recently lifted the lid on its upcoming limited edition “Game of Thrones” collection, which now has a confirmed global launch date of April 14. The HBO series, which will unveil its eighth and final season this month, is being immortalized as a six-piece makeup collection inspired by the brand’s “favorite places in Westeros and the strong women of the Seven Kingdoms.” The line-up features a 3D pop-up eyeshadow palette divided into four sections to represent each house in the story, boasting 20 different shades, including shimmery and holographic finishes. There is also a “Mother of Dragons” highlighter palette, four lipsticks, three eye pencils, a lip and cheek tint and a pair of eye shadow brushes, all designed to fit into the show’s theme.
“Avengers”
Ulta is celebrating the upcoming “Avengers: Endgame” movie (which hits screens on April 26) with a brand-new makeup series dubbed “Ulta Beauty Collection X Marvel’s Avengers”, as reported by Allure. The retail giant is channeling a superhero vibe with a colorful collection spanning products for eyes, lips and face, including a 15-pan eyeshadow palette that includes shade names such as “Save the World”, “Legend” and “Built for Battle”, as well as a four-hued highlighter palette, four lip glosses and four liquid lip colors. A trio of makeup cases emblazoned with famous faces and symbols from the movie franchise completes the lineup.
“Aladdin”
MAC Cosmetics is taking beauty fans on a magic carpet ride with its highly-anticipated “Aladdin”-themed makeup collection, thought to be slated for release around the time of the unveiling of Disney’s new live-action version of the classic story on May 24. Disney “Aladdin” Collection by MAC “highlights the self-determination and confidence of Princess Jasmine in the upcoming live-action adaptation,” according to the brand. Fans can expect a powder blush compact, a hot pink bullet lipstick and an eyeshadow palette.
With these fandom-meets-beauty collections, fans of “Game of Thrones”, “Avengers” and “Aladdin” are sure to glam up while sporting their favorite shows. CE/JB
