Animal Crossing: New Horizons was undoubtedly one of the biggest game launches of last year, and its popularity isn’t slowing down in 2021. To the joy of makeup-wearing Animal Crossing fans everywhere, Nintendo has announced an Animal Crossing: New Horizons collaboration with cosmetics brand ColourPop, and the collection looks as adorable as you’d expect. The Animal Crossing x ColourPop collection launches Thursday, January 28 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET, and you can sign up to be notified at ColourPop.
The Animal Crossing ColourPop collection appears to include four different eyeshadow palettes, each with four different shades inspired by characters from the game. There’s an Isabelle palette with warm pink and yellow shades; a cool purple palette inspired by the Able sisters; a silvery green palette featuring the Nooks; and a brown neutrals palette that’s a nod to Blathers and Celeste. The shade names are all references to the game as well, like “Resident Rep,” “Meteor Shower,” and “Water Landing.”
The promo photos also show a golden “Bellionaire” face glitter, so Animal Crossing fans can constantly be reminded of the millions of Bells they’ve paid to Tom Nook. The collection also seems to include six different lip pencils in red and neutral shades as well as two blushes in pink and coral.
This isn’t the first gaming/pop culture-related makeup collection ColourPop has created; the store put out a stunning Sailor Moon collection last year, and it recently released a Baby Yoda-inspired eyeshadow palette. While no prices for the Animal Crossing collection were given, ColourPop is known for its affordably priced makeup; the entire Sailor Moon collection, for instance, could be bought for just $89. If past launches are any indication, however, the Animal Crossing collection is going to sell out fast, so you’ll want to be ready when it all goes live on ColourPop’s site on January 28.
