Named after a cheat code that grants players invincibility, Godmode is the new gaming-inspired makeup brand from actress Chloe Grace-Moretz and Japanese pop star Rina Sawayama. Described as a "youth culture movement formed in response to the growing influence of female gamers," Godmode fuses elements of entertainment, fashion and beauty to inspire its community to play, explore alter egos and level up their confidence.
The first products from the brand include the Genesis Glow highlighter, packaged in a futuristic egg vessel, Mirage Lip Gloss in intergalactic shades and Level Up Lip Liners.
The brand's debut lineup was informed by the Godmode Alliance, a community of creators that includes female anime illustrators, AI artists, gamers, makeup artists, fashion designers, musicians and other creatives.
