Influential make-up artist, Pat McGrath has unveiled her second collaboration with Star Wars – themed to celebrate the original trilogy.
“In 2019 we launched our first Star Wars x Pat McGrath Labs collection and it was a major hit. So much so that we just knew we had to do it again,” Pat commented. “The original trilogy is what started it all for me, it’s how my love of Star Wars and the fantasy genre really began. So I just had to revisit the original trilogy for this collection.”
The make-up itself is a mix of fun, edginess and innovation. The collection includes shimmery lip glosses and special edition metallic lipsticks, ‘Dark Star’ mascaras that come in classic black or bright, bold colours, plus a new product – the ChromaLuxe Artistry Pigments, that can be applied on the eyes, lips and face.
All of the products feature unique artwork from the original trilogy – from Darth Vader’s helmet on the Sith Seduction 5-pan to The Empire Strikes Back artwork on the collector’s edition Mothership VI: Midnight Sun.
As well as the packaging, the colour scheme behind each product, as well as the names of eyeshadows – think Binary Sunset, Force Sensitive and Astrolime – have been inspired by Pat’s love of Star Wars.
“As I was dreaming up this collection, the richness of colours, textures and the use of light and metallics were all top of mind,” Pat explained. “This is what fueled the first round of inspiration, but then I would add more based on the characters’ personalities or storylines that felt evocative to me.
“I hope my fellow Star Wars fans will collect and cherish this collection as much as I do.”
