MAKEUP DROP: Wu-Tang Clan x Milk Makeup Featuring Teyana Taylor

It’s all about the details. Milk Makeup recently spilled some beauty intel on their latest makeup collaboration with hip hop’s royalty, Wu-Tang Clan. The brand talked about what you can expect from the collection down to the packaging as well as their roots with the musical group. Milk says,

“We are unleashing a limited-edition collection of 8 luxe lip colors in collaboration with Wu Tang Clan; featuring Teyana Taylor. [The collection] balances Chinese ingredients with high-payoff colors.

The longwear lip colors, each [are] named after eight earthly elements. Housed in a specially made component, revealing a custom sculpted dragon upon opening.

Wu-Tang and Milk Makeup have joined forces for a TRYE NYC collab. Which pays homage to our underground NYC roots and celebrates self-expression, strength; and the evolving connection between us.

Our collaboration packaging features Wu-Tang’s famed “W.” And an original graphic that combines the Mandarin character for beauty with Milk Makeup’s logo.”
