This year, hair dye brand [Manic Panic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/semipermanent-hair-color) is celebrating its 40th "Manniversary" and inviting consumers to join the festivities by purchasing a special eyeshadow palette.

Although the brand is best known for its outrageously colorful collection of hair dyes, it branched into a different segment of beauty with its Amplified eyeshadow palette. The 12 shades that pay homage to Manic Panic hair dye colors include vibrant hues with bold names to match, such as [Vampire Red](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colourpop-x-twilight), Ultra Violet, Cotton Candy, Raven and Electric Banana. In the spirit of looking back in time, the palette boasts nostalgic packaging that will appeal to kids of the 90s with graffiti and brick wall imagery and an edgy, grunge attitude.

The Amplified eyeshadow palette from Manic Panic is exclusively available through Hot Topic.
