NYX Professional Cosmetics is tapping into the whimsical wonderland of Cirque du Soleil for its latest Halloween collection. The brand revealed the "It Was All a Dream" collaboration on Sept. 29 with a range of 12 products that are sure to get your creative juices flowing.
The line includes new, limited-edition special-effects face and body paints, jumbo eyelashes, and a face stamp, as well as two new shades of the cult-favorite Lip Lingerie XXL lipstick in an intense black and a moody purple. The prices of the items range from $8 to $14, making them incredibly affordable.
The brand collaborated with renowned special-effects makeup artist Mimi Choi to showcase the boundless creative possibilities that can come from the products in the new line. Though these are pro-level pigments, you don't need to be a special-effects makeup artist to play. With the paints coming in easy, wearable colors like pink, red, green, and gold, you're sure to find a new product that will make your Halloween costume stand out.
The entire NYX x Cirque du Soleil range is now available to shop on nyxcosmetics.com as well as Ulta.com. See the entire lineup ahead.
