This Empire-Themed Makeup Line Celebrates the Hit Show

'Covergirl' recently announced that it will be launching an Empire-themed makeup collection in honor of the show's female leads. With the new collection, fans will now be able to recreate the dramatic looks worn by their favorite characters.

The new collection features four different looks based on leading ladies Kaitlin Doubleday, Grace Gealey, Gabourey Sidibe and Serayah. While actress Taraji P. Henson is missing from the collection, the line still features a broad range of popular looks to choose from. In order to recreate each look, Covergirl will roll out a series of limited-edition products such as shimmery eyeshadow quads, creamy lipsticks and dramatically dark mascara.

The new collection provides a fun and creative way for Empire fans to connect with some of their favorite characters.
