The 'Little Things' One Direction Makeup line is an adorable way for fans of the boy band to fuel their obsession of Harry, Liam, Louis, Niall and Zayn. The collection of lipsticks, cheek tints and nail polishes is a collaboration between MUA Cosmetics and the popular London-based band.
The name of the line itself, as well as many of the collection's products make reference to popular One Direction songs and lyrics. As well, the product packaging is full of adorable details like guitar picks with pictures of the boys' faces on them and "X & O" prints embossed onto the lipsticks. Each shade is represented by a different member of the band, making it easier for girls to bring their lips that much closer to the boy of their dreams.
