Ulta Beauty has entered a partnership with Universal Pictures’ new movie musical, Wicked, for the launch of a multi-branded beauty assortment. The makeup, skincare, and accessories collection will be available beginning October 6th.
As part of the collection, Ulta Beauty will exclusively feature r.e.m. beauty's limited-edition 9-piece makeup set, designed by Grammy award-winning global superstar Ariana Grande, who stars as Glinda in the film.
Inspired by the film adaption of the beloved blockbuster stage musical about the untold story of the witches of Oz, arriving in theaters on November 22nd, the Wicked-themed collection defies conventional beauty norms, empowering beauty enthusiasts to embrace their truest selves.
Monica Arnaudo, Chief Merchandising Officer at Ulta Beauty, said,
"At Ulta Beauty, we believe that beauty is a powerful form of self-expression, and our partnership with Wicked allows us to bring that belief to life in an inspiring way. This collection invites beauty enthusiasts to embrace their confidence, celebrate and support friendship, while discovering the unexpected connections that beauty can create, just as the characters of Wicked do. We're thrilled to offer an expansive range of transformative products that inspire joy, creativity, and the magic of being true to yourself."
At Ulta Beauty’s Herald Square, New York, and Santa Monica, California, stores, guests will be transported to the Land of Oz through full store takeovers.
These events will feature immersive Wicked experiences, like walking the yellow brick road through beauty aisles and enjoying Elphaba and Glinda-inspired makeup salon services offered by r.e.m. beauty by Ariana Grande.
Special photo opportunities will allow guests to engage with custom experiences and capture the wonders of Wicked through beauty.
As an extension of the Wicked collection, a curated assortment of beauty brands will be available to shop at Ulta Beauty at Target locations, reaching even more enthusiasts.
“Bringing our r.e.m. beauty for Wicked collection to life has been pure magic. We want to transport fans into the world of Wicked and capture the awe that I felt every day on set. I am so excited for the Ulta Beauty guests to have the chance to experience these beautiful formulas in real life!”
This limited-edition collection will be available from October 6 to December 25. Ulta Beauty Rewards Diamond and Platinum members will enjoy early access to shop the collection on October 1st and 2nd.
