Makeup artist Francesca Tolot is the latest beauty star to land her own collection, in the form of a collaboration with Ofra Cosmetics.
The Italian beauty expert has teamed up with the vegan makeup label on a six-piece colorful collection that spans products for eyes, lips and face. With a color palette ranging from metallic teals to hot pinks, the ‘OfraXFrancesca’ series riffs on the electrifying makeup looks that have become Tolot’s signature style over years of working with clients such as Cher, Beyonce and Cindy Crawford.
“I am inspired by so many things, and now makeup is something that is inspiring to so many, and that makes me even more excited for how the makeup industry will transform and transcend beyond trends,” Tolot enthused about her newest project. “There are no rules. That’s how each person should approach this collection. Play, try something new, and never be afraid that it’s not right.”
Ofra Gaito, OFRA Founder and President, referred to Tolot as an “icon,” saying: “She has quietly created an enduring career curating the beauty industry and trends over decades of work. Like a hidden gem, she is a master of colour and juxtaposition. Beauty and art. She is truly inspiring to be around.”
Tolot, who boasts 73,000 followers on Instagram, is the latest in a string of high-profile makeup artists to land her own beauty collection, following in the footsteps of creatives such as Lisa Eldridge, who launched her debut lipstick trio back in December, and Pat McGrath, who heads up the successful Pat McGrath Labs label that she first launched back in 2016. – Relaxnews
