Barbie-Themed Makeup Lines

A Sephora Barbie Collection is Set to Become Available in Europe

— March 22, 2018 — Fashion

So far, the retailer has only shared a handful of pictures of the upcoming release online, however the contents of them seem to show a number of palettes, an eyeliner, and a mascara. In true Barbie fashion, all of the products feature pink branding and packaging, with the brand's classic bubble lettering used.

Most prominently, the Sephora Barbie collection takes inspiration from the doll brand's popularity in the 1980s, constantly using retro motifs in its branding to give the products a nostalgic feel.
