ColourPop x STRANGER THINGS Makeup Collection Will Turn Your Look Upside Down (In a Glam, Goth Way) - Nerdist

Oct 28, 2024

Ah, Stranger Things season one. It’s hard to believe it premiered eight years ago now. We can barely remember what the pop-cultural world looked like without this beloved show, equal parts ’80s nostalgia, chilling horror, action/adventure friendship dynamics, and fun sci-fi. Stranger Things did indeed turn the television landscape upside down. And now it’s coming for your make-up collection. ColourPop’s newest collection pays homage to Stranger Things season one, the season that started it all. And it celebrates both the heroism of The Party and the creeping darkness of the Upside Down all at once. That means it has something for everyone, from the goth ghouls among us who like to stay in the shadows to the white knight Paladins who want to stop evil in its tracks (in style).

Let’s flip Upside Down into another dimension as we dive into everything this limited-edition ColourPop x Stranger Things makeup collection has to offer fans of the series.

Things are about to get strange in your makeup drawer. But in a good way! The ColourPop x Stranger Things collection will let you wear your fannish love of the series in the most subtle, gorgeous way possible. Not to mention, this makeup line has a lot of variety for you to choose from. As always, with a ColourPop pop-culture drop, this collection is full of hidden Easter Eggs and nods to Stranger Things, which will keep you discovering new plot twists every time you open up your palate. That’s a very meta inspiration since that’s exactly what happens when you rewatch Stranger Things.

Our favorite nods, spoiler alert, are the image of the Demogorgan pressed into its eyeshadow shade and the fun Christmas light-shaped lip gloss wands. We’re obsessed!

But be warned, portals to the Upside Down appear when they want to and then vanish again… sometimes for a very long time. This ColourPop x Stranger Things collection is limited-edition, so if you don’t want to be trapped in a realm without it, be ready to act quickly.
