An innovative makeup line is coming to you from a galaxy far, far away. Covergirl has announced a partnership with the Star Wars promotion machine for a line of The Force Awakens-inspired beauty products, from C-3PO gold to stormtrooper silver lipstick.
The 19-product collection promoting 2015's most anticipated film, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, was designed by renowned makeup artist and P&G's Global Creative Director Pat McGrath and divvied into two parts--the Light Side and the Dark Side. Lighter lipstick shades come in gold, lilac and nude, or if you're trying to unleash your inner Darth Maul, ruby red, dark purple and a shimmery silver could do the trick. The collection also boasts ten limited edition regular and waterproof mascaras (perfect for everyday wear and cosplay) and three brightly colored nail polishes: light, nemesis and red revenge, Yahoo reports.

"I watched my first film as a young girl and, like the rest of the world, was completely blown away," McGrath told the Huffington Post. "I immediately fell in love with the storyline, the never-before-seen special effects, and the amazing hair, makeup, and wardrobe of Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, Hans Solo, Darth Vader, and all of the other characters."
Each tube will be adorned with a rousing quote from the fan-favorite franchise. As if girls around the world didn't already yearn to be Princess Leia, it might be easier now to toss your hair into braids and apply a shade of Star Wars lipstick that inspires you to use the force--or better yet, helps you start your day with an inspirational reminder of "Do. Or do not. There is not try."
Although the film doesn't hit theaters until December 18 (or 126 days from now if you've been counting), fans can get their hands on the limited-edition collection beginning September 4 at mass retailers and covergirl.com. As expected of most Star Wars collections, its doubtful the products will be around for long. Act fast to get your hands on some exclusive $6 to $8 products that will make you feel a little less like Chewbacca and a little more like Han Solo.
