Jen Stark and Smashbox Cosmetics have teamed up to create the 2018 Holidaze Collection! Jen Stark is an L.A. based artist. Famous for her hypnotizing art, she loves creating fun depictions of plant growth, evolution, infinity and sacred geometries. Jen creates charismatic wall works, widely seen murals, and intricately animated films that have been exhibited globally with major shows in NYC, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, Thailand, and Canada. Her work is included in the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the West Collection, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, the Musem of Art Fort Lauderdale, and MOCA Miami, among others, and can now be seen on the Smashbox Cosmetics Holidaze Collection!

On October 4, 2018, Smashbox and Jen hosted an exclusive event in Los Angeles to celebrate the launch of the Holidaze Collection. They commemorated their new, hypnotic collection with an intimate cocktail party. The backdrop for the evening was a beautifully historic and classic art deco building, where the industrial, concrete space was transformed into a vibrant hideaway, showcasing Jen Stark’s radiant, graphic drip art and colorfully highlighting the new products from the collection.

Guests started the evening with a ride in a vintage 1920s elevator that opened up into a winding staircase and led to a sparkling rooftop with a 360 view of the twinkling Los Angeles cityscape and a custom Smashbox x Jen Stark flag overlooking the venue.

Attendees mingled in the breezy Los Angeles weather while munching on street tacos, sipping on the “Holidaze,” a fun spin on a Palmona and dancing to 90s hip hop tunes spun by a DJ playing off vinyl records. Guests were encouraged to take photos in a unique photo moment surrounded by Jen Stark’s artwork and left the celebration with items from the collection.

Let’s chat about what the collection includes, shall we?

Always On Eyeliner Set ($39): This set of best-selling smudge-free liners keeps the smolder in line through all the holiday chaos. The Always On Liquid Liner’s rich black color won’t fade and will look freshly applied all day long. The Always On Gel Liner is available in four super-saturated shades with a weightless formula that glides on for 24 hour wear. Shades include: Fishnet (black), Brewed (brown), Nymph (purple) and Bubbly (rose gold).
Always On Liquid Lip Set ($29): These six travel-sized Always On Liquid Lipsticks will make a statement, even at an ugly sweater party! The new Matte Metallic lipsticks precisely glide on a tinsel-y effect to lips without requiring a single swipe of liner, while the matte shades deliver bold, comfortable color. The non-drying formula won’t flake, bleed or feather, delivering lightweight color that stays put! Shades include: Miss Conduct (deep/warm plum matte), Stepping Out (deep nude matte), Babe Alert (nude rose matte), Maneater (red matte metallic), Vlada (rose gold matte metallic), and Rust Fund (copper matte metallic).
Artist Brush Set (Macy’s Exclusive) ($39): Perfect for the aspiring makeup artist, this set of five brushes features high-tech synthetic fiber for durability and control, delivering a flawless makeup application everytime. Each kaleidoscopic handle is intuitively designed to indicate exactly where it should be held for any look. The set is packed in an envelope style bag and includes: Blurring Foundation Brush, Fan Brush, Contour Shadow Brush, Shadow Intensifier Brush, and Angled Brow Brush.
Be Legendary Lipstick + Lip Mattifier Set ($29): Each satin-smooth cream lipstick hydrates and softens lips while delivering brilliant color, in one application! The shades can be easily transformed to a matte color with just a pat of the Insta-Matte Lipstick Transformer. Shades include: Pretty Social (nude rose cream), Honey (sheer chestnut cream), Legendary (true red cream), 9 to 5 (raspberry cream), and Deal Breaker (deep berry cream).
Be Legendary Liquid Lip Ornament ($24): The festive, metallic red lipstick delivers full-coverage with the high-shine of a gloss and is perfectly packaged as a ready-to-gift sparkly, festive holiday ornament!
Contour + Spotlight Palette ($39): This palette creates looks that will rival the most well-lit house on the block. It contains a multitude of contour, bronze, and light-capturing highlight shades. The matte shimmer and duochrome finish shapes, defines, and customizes a mega-watt look.
Lash + Liner Set ($23): The Photo Finish Lash Primer amplifies lift, increases volume and staying power while the Full Exposure Mascara amps up volume for scene-stealing lashes without clumps, flakes, or smudges. Top it off with the Always On Gel Liner for super-saturated color that lasts all day long.
Photo Finish Travel Primer Trio ($22): Perfect for all skin types, these formulas were developed to help makeup glide on smoother, last longer and look better. Each set includes The Original Photo Finish Smooth + Blur Primer, a clear gel that smooths skin and blurs flaws, the Photo Finish Primerizer, a primer and moisturizer in one that locks in foundation, and the Photo Finish Primer Water, a 3-in-1 primer that primers, hydrates, and refreshes skin.

Whether you want to purchase some of these for your own makeup collection, or you want to gift some for the special individuals in your life, there is something guaranteed to fit everyone’s needs in the new collection!
