The appropriately titled 'Forsaken' True Blood cosmetics line is sure to be a big hit among fans.
This isn't the first makeup-related interpretation the hit HBO show has been a part of, as a 'Tarte' collection inspired by the series was released just last year. The newest beauty departure of the show is set to be sold on HSN, and the line features dark packaging and plenty of dark red hues. Though perhaps a bit gimmicky, the following for this show is incredibly cult-like, and some fans will likely bite at the chance to bring Sookie and Bill home with them.
With a moody vibe and a strong theme to play off of, the creation and design of this line had a lot of themes to work with and uses the vampire vibe to full advantage. Bound to suck in more than a few thirsty customers, this is a makeup line with a sharp edge.
