For the launch of its new Thrill Seeker Mega Lift mascara, Rimmel London teamed up with Red Bull, and Red Bull athlete and five-time national All-American gymnast Lily Smith.
This first-of-its-kind collaboration from Rimmel London and Red Bull saw Lily take to the balance beam for a 90-second routine 52 stories above street level in New York City. On a rooftop overlooking the city's iconic Central Park, Lily showed off daring moves atop a performance beam that measured an additional 9.5 feet off the rooftop—double the height of a standard competition balance beam.
Lily Smith will also feature in a global marketing campaign for Rimmel London’s new ultra-volumising mascara, said to amplify visible lash volume six times as compared to bare lashes.
