If you’re a fan of Wednesday Addams or the Netflix show Wednesday, then you’ll want to tap into NYX’s latest limited-edition collection.
NYX’s latest collaborative endeavor features four pieces of makeup and one phone accessory, available now on the brand’s website and at Ulta. You’ve got blush palettes, lip oils, eyeshadow palettes and so much more, all inspired by the show starring Jenna Ortega. Even the makeup’s packaging features nods to the show, like Addams’ sidekick Thing.
The collection’s release comes at a perfect time, with the first part of Wednesday season two debuting on Wednesday (Aug. 6). The second part of the season is set to launch on Sept. 3. The show was created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar and is based on characters by Charles Addams. Wednesday was also recently renewed for season three. In honor of the second season’s release and our love of creative makeup, we’ll be breaking down the collection, showing you how to shop it like a pro.
NYX ‘Wednesday’ Color-Shifting Lip Oil in Thorn Pricked
A color-changing lip oil in a deep blood-red shade.
NYX’s Color-Shifting Lip Oil, retailing for $10, comes in three color-changing shades: Thorn Pricked, Nightshade and Moonshifted. Thorn Pricked is a deep blood red, Nightshade is a sheer black and Moonshifted is a nude with flecks of gold glitter. No matter what shade you choose, these oils are sure to give your pout a plump shine. The formula is deeply hydrating without feeling sticky, and the large applicator is a major plus, given that the size and curved shape ensure even application with just one swipe.
Creating a scary good eye look has never been so easy with the Nevermore Academy Palette. Retailing for $20, the eight-shade eyeshadow palette includes pigmented mattes and sparkling shimmers that are sure to help you concoct a stand-out look. A majority of the included shades are neutral, save for a champagne glitter, a bright purple glitter and a matte blush pink. No matter the composition or color, each shade is blendable and packs a punch of pigment.
While we’re all for looking pale and deathly, this Stain Glass Blush Palette will bring a little life back into your makeup looks. Retailing for $15, the palette is packed with four shades, three creamy matte hues and one with a shiny finish in pink and purple hues. Each shade is pigmented but can be sheared out with a light hand. We suggest working your chosen shade onto the apples of the cheek, along with the chin and bridge of the nose.
Similar to the blush palette, the Stain Glass Contour Palette is perfect for creating those deathly-looking hallows on the face. Retailing for $15, this palette also includes four shades, three contour shades and one highlight, all meant to add dimension to your look. The shades run on the cooler side, mimicking shadows and darkness that fans of Wednesday will love.
This Cello Vivid Matte Liquid Eyeliner in Purple was made to look like Addams’ beloved cello. Retailing for $12, the pigmented liner comes in a gothic plum hue with a thin brush applicator to provide the most precise liner, sharp enough to cut your enemies. With this liner, you can go for the traditional cat eye, or mix it up with a graphic design sure to turn heads.
The collection’s only accessory is a Phone Umbrella. Inspired by Addams’ iconic purple umbrella, the phone accessory retails for $15 and depicts a striped umbrella with white NYX and Wednesday trim held by a Thing-esque hand. The umbrella charm attaches to the back of your phone or tablet, shielding your screen time from that pesky sunlight.
Having trouble choosing your favorite products from this collection? For $90, you can grab the full Wednesday-themed makeup line now at Ulta. You’ll get the blush and bronzer duo, three lip oils, an eyeshadow palette, liquid liner and phone accessory all in one place. This deal is scary good.
