The mad marketing phenomenon that was Barbie and their ridiculously cute collaboration with NYX was one of the biggest makeup + movie collaborations we’ve ever seen. The fusion of movies and makeup has created a trend that most brands seem desperate to follow and fans seem desperate to buy – for good reason!
From Urban Decay’s tribute to “Game of Thrones” to the vibrant hues of MAC’s “Alice in Wonderland” collection, these collaborations are more than just products – they’re a celebration of our favourite on-screen moments. As a makeup enthusiast, I can’t help but feel drawn to these collections, not just for their utility but for the sheer joy of owning a piece of the cinematic universe.
Twilight x ColourPop
ColourPop, a brand synonymous with pop-culture collabs, finally heeded the call of the Twilight fans. Their newest collection, featuring a lip oil, highlighter, shimmering body oil, and metallic palette is a nod to the series’ iconic (overdone?) vampire glamour. Just like Edward’s sunlit skin, these products promise a shimmer that you cannot resist.
NYX Cosmetics x Barbie The Movie
NYX Cosmetics x Barbie released a collection is a celebration of vibrant, doll-like beauty. With products like the “Turn up the KEN-ERGY!” eyeshadow palette and pink ombre lashes, this collection was a dream come true for anyone looking to bring a bit of Barbie Land into their makeup routine.
Cover Girl X Hunger Games
The “Hunger Games” series wasn’t just a cinematic sensation, it achieved the status of a fashion and beauty trendsetter, thanks to its extravagant Capitol styles. Cover Girl’s Capitol collection brought the screen’s flair to your makeup bags with looks inspired by the districts. Mascara, lip gloss, nail polish – this collection had it all, and each piece felt like a tribute to the film’s unique aesthetic.
Makeup Revolution x Lion King
The Makeup Revolution x Lion King collaboration is one of the cutest ones out there. This collection has a little something for everyone – from warm-toned palettes inspired by the Pride Lands of Africa to sand-coloured highlighters, this is a Disney collab I can totally get behind.
MAC X Alice In Wonderland
Tim Burton’s imaginative flair in “Alice in Wonderland” found a perfect partner in MAC’s vibrant and whimsical collection. From the topsy-turvy packaging to the bright, adventurous colours, this collaboration was like diving down the rabbit hole into a world of fantastical makeup.
Maybelline x Archies
Up until last week, Archies was everywhere – including my vanity. One of the biggest collaborations of the year was Archies X Maybelline New York. The limited edition collection marries Maybelline’s makeup mastery with Archies’ retro charm, offering a unique fusion of fashion, beauty, and the classic, heartfelt Archies touch we all cherish.
MyGlamm Rocky Aur Rani Dhindhora Baje Combo
The MyGlamm Rocky Aur Rani Dhindhora Baje Combo is a set of products that will give you that flawless Rani look with minimal effort. The kit includes the Super Serum Foundation, the Superfoods Kajal and the Ultimatte Long Stay Matte Lipstick – you’re done with just three products!
Whether you’re a fan of the fantastical, the whimsical, or the downright dramatic, there’s a movie-inspired makeup collection out there that’s perfect for you. So, next time you see one of these limited-edition beauties, remember, it’s more than makeup – it’s a piece of history.
