ROKSANDA & Other Stories Makeup Collection
Known for her bold silhouettes and fearless approach to colour, designer Roksanda Ilinčić brings her signature aesthetic to an exclusive capsule makeup collection in collaboration with & Other Stories, launching May 15, 2025. Featuring three matte lipsticks and three glossy nail colours, the collection is a vivid tribute to self-expression.
Lips: Think deep, emotive hues with velvety texture: Dark Orchid, Red Rose, and Plum Anthurium. Each shade offers intense pigment with a light-as-air, vegan formula enriched with rice and sunflower wax for comfort that lasts.
Nails: High-gloss, high-impact tones in Blue Anemone, Bitter Cherries, and Amaryllis deliver rich coverage in two coats with a fast-drying finish. Bold, modern, and completely wearable — the makeup line acts as an effortless extension of the ready-to-wear collection, capturing the essence of Roksanda’s world in every swipe and stroke.
