R.E.M. Beauty x Wicked Movie: A Magical New Collection

R.E.M. Beauty, the cult-favorite cosmetics brand by Ariana Grande, created an exclusive Wicked collection to prepare for the film’s arrival this November.

Before you arrive in the Emerald City on November 22, the future will be unlimited in curating various makeup looks inspired by the film. Ariana Grande, founder of R.E.M. Beauty stars as the bubbly and popular Glinda the Good Witch, so a collab between the two was inevitable. A dream of Grande’s ever since she was younger has come full circle playing her dream role and her cosmetics brand releasing exclusive products just in time for the film’s release.

Although this is the official “hard launch” of the new collection coming soon, Grande did hint at the collaboration earlier this year. In April, Grande stated, “We’re expanding upon some of our hero products that you know and love…we have some very exciting launches coming later this year in the holiday season that may or may not have something to do with other things and projects that are coming out later in the holiday season.”

In addition, Grande even admitted that she used a few of her brand’s products on set. The essential look of Glinda Upland is nothing too extravagant, but rather playful and gracious. Pink is Glinda’s go-to color in the film, and her makeup is a reflection of that. Sparkly shimmers grace her eyes and face for the ultimate “good witch” look that reflects off her magical bubbles.

Now here is a rundown of what to expect from the latest collection. R.E.M. Beauty uploaded several photos to their Instagram, with the last slide hinting at the products that will be included. Green files with titles ranging from “lips” to “palette,” even a file with a more mysterious name: “oz dust.” Many fans have speculated the “oz dust” could be a shimmering body highlighter, but the brand’s website will “keep fans updated” as the exclusive holiday launch nears closer.

Here is a special look at the different products that are launching soon. From bubbly lip products to a green palette, the packaging looks divine. Playing off the color palettes of the film’s main characters Elphaba and Glinda, pink does indeed go well with green. Shimmer and sparkles are also seen to be a dominant theme, reminiscent of the magical talent of both witches and their time at Shiz University.
