The classic Barbie iconic ponytail silhouette is embossed in pink on the classic black [Mac](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-cosmetics-x-doja-cat) packaging. The fun and feminine collection includes very bright, plasticized colours in its palette for lips, cheeks, nails and eyes. You can even buy your very own Mac barbie doll. Unfortunately the pink convertible and Ken doll are not sold separately this time around. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Limited Edition Cosmetics Collaborations:** Collaborations between cosmetic companies and iconic brands can lead to unique and viral limited edition collections. - **Nostalgia-inspired Beauty Products:** Drawing inspiration from classic toys and fashion from the past can create a strong emotional connection with consumers. - **Playful and Bold Color Palettes:** Cosmetic collections featuring bright, plasticized colors can appeal to consumers looking for daring makeup options. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Cosmetics:** Cosmetic companies can collaborate with iconic brands or draw inspiration from the past to create unique and trendy cosmetic collections. - **Toy & Collectibles:** Toy companies can partner with cosmetic companies to create collectible dolls with customized makeup options. - **Fashion:** Fashion companies can leverage their brand recognition to enter the cosmetics market and release their own unique makeup collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fashion Dolls-Inspired Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girls-nite-out.md) - [Iconic Doll Accessory Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-x-aldo-2024.md) - [Barbie Paint Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/backdrop-x-barbie.md) - [Edible Chocolate Lipsticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-cosmetics-x-doja-cat.md) - [Exclusive Toy-Inspired Candy Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-chocolate-bars.md) - [Barbie Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-tech-accessories.md) - [Doll-Themed Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-barbie-movie.md) - [Glamorized Drinkware Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glamorized-drinkware-collections-the-barbie-x-stanley-collaboration-feature.md) - [Modeling Dough Fashion Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playdoh-barbie.md)
