Pop artist Ashley Longshore has partnered with Maybelline to create a collectable range of six top-selling Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink shades packaged in custom sleeves. The artist/influencer (@ashleylongshoreart has 227K followers on Instagram) celebrated with the brand on Friday, September 6, at Maybelline House, a pop-up space in the West Village. Beauty writers, editors and influencers took a break from the hustle and bustle of New York Fashion Week to meet Ashley at the event, view the house decorated with Ashley’s artistic embellishments, and create custom Stoney Clover makeup bags. Louisiana-based Ashley is also the artist-in-residence at department store Bergdorf Goodman.

Ashley created the tagline “Livin’ the Dream” to represent the collection. “Recreating my designs for the packaging of Maybelline New York’s SuperStay Matte Ink was an incredible opportunity to work with a new medium,” Ashley said in a statement. “My love of color is always what really makes my artwork ‘pop,’ and the Maybelline shades selected really emphasize this. I have always found synergies between makeup and art as tools to express myself, and I hope this collection empowers others to do the same.”

Art fans will love seeing Ashley’s recognizable designs on the liquid lipstick packaging, which manages to be just as colorful as the makeup itself. It features gorgeous graphics including cartoon-like drawings and elegant illustrations adorned with bold text, bridging the art and beauty worlds perfectly in a slim, portable package.
