As part of the collaboration, Smashbox will launch an exclusive collection featuring five shades of Be Legendary Lipstick and five shades of Always On Cream Shadow. The rich, primer-infused formulas will be housed in packaging that highlights iconic scenes and characters from the film, including Harley Quinn, Mongal, Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Javelin, Polka-Dot Man and Ratcatcher 2.
