The Prince Estate and Urban Decay will launch an exclusive limited edition makeup collection inspired by Prince on May 27th called Urban Decay Prince Live Loud in Color. Yes, it’s true there will be an Urban Decay Prince Makeup Collection to look forward to and there better be purple in there or someone is going to get cut! No but seriously, Urban Decay actually has disclose that the collection will include Prince’s signature purple shade along side golds and blacks.
Urban Decay x Prince was designed in close collaboration with members of Prince’s artistic camp, including creative director Trevor Guy, who was a close friend as well as Damaris Lewis, who toured with him in 2012, and photographer/director Randee St. Nicholas who worked closely with Prince for nearly thirty years.
Wende Zomnir, Urban Decay brand co-founder was quoted as saying “We couldn’t possibly imitate someone as legendary as Prince, and to compare him to a palette would diminish what he represents. It’s easy to say why this collection makes sense on the surface – his makeup looks and our shared love of purple – but we did our best to reflect his energy on a deeper level. We found his ethos of not asking permission to be who he was and owning it so boldly aligned with our values of breaking the mold and championing all forms of beauty.”
You can sign up to be alerted about when the collection launches at www.urbandecay.com/prince.html.
It’s a little unclear what the collection will include but as we get closer to the launch I’m sure Urban Decay will start sending out press kits with images.
As more info becomes available I’ll be sure to post.
Are you excited about this collection?
