The [NYX](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyx-x-beetlejuice) Cosmetics x [Barbie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/covent-garden-popup) collection is a limited-edition drop that was inspired by the upcoming Greta Gerwig movie and its unmissably bright colors. This [Barbie-themed cosmetics collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-x-hewi) includes a pair of mini eyeshadow palettes in colors for Barbie and Ken, as well as a blush and highlighter trio, Jumbo Eye Pencils, Jumbo Lashes, lip creams, butter gloss and much more.

While the collection is full of plenty of fun shades to play with, there are also practical earth tones and neutrals for everyday wear.

As a fashion icon, Barbie exemplifies what it means to properly accessorize and in this collection, one of the most standout pieces is a pink-hued compact in the shape of a flip phone.
