Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away, a movie was made which inspired the amazing hairstyle – The Princess Leia.
Four decades and 2 trilogies later, girls are still getting their beauty inspiration for the women of Star Wars.
As the new Star Wars film, The Force Awakens, is making it’s way to our screens in December, CoverGirl will be releasing an awesome limited edition collection of makeup. This collection will beg the question: Are you on the Dark side? Or are you on the Light side? The constant war that happens between light and dark, good versus evil has always been an inspiration with makeup artists. The theme frequently pops into fashion from time to time.
This collaboration will have all you fangirls geeking out!
As CoverGirls introduces this collection, there will be 19 makeup pieces. Within this collection, you will find mascaras that come printed with iconic movies quotes on the tubes. There will also be metallic lipsticks and vampy nail polishes. The red polish being a bright as the red lightsaber.
CoverGirls global creative designer director Pat McGrath, also a makeup to the stars, has created, in total, 6 inspired beauty looks from iconic movie characters from what is an epic franchise, for this unique ad campaign.
There is 3 different looks for each side. Of course there is a Mystic, Droid and Jedi on the Light side. For the Dark side, The Stormtrooper, Dark Apprentice and Chrome Captain.
And if that wasn’t enough for all you Star Wars fans, there is also a bonus look, A Resistance Pilot.
Each are all different but chic and beyond this galaxy.
McGrath created these looks to inspire the female fans of Star Wars. To celebrate, experiment with their makeup and create different sides of their personalities through it.
McGrath used the CoverGirl Star Wars Lipstick in Gold for the gold Droid shoot, which was inspired by C-3PO.
Metallics are a hot trend this season and fit perfectly with the new upcoming films. Why not have a little fun and play around with a silver or gold look.
The Stormtrooper is intercut with strong, powerful graphic eye makeup (including a black brow). The makeup has been structured with a dark plum lip. This colour is the CoverGirl’s Lipstick in Dark Purple.
The makeup collection includes, 6 lipsticks- one for each of the campaigns, 3 nail glosses and 10 supersize mascaras. Half of the mascaras are for the Light side, which means their are waterproof. The other half are for the Dark side, with regular formulas. All of the mascaras feature iconic quotes, on the tubes, from the movie.
The colour palettes were chosen based on the films, the characters, landscapes and the costumes.
