May is a special time for Star Wars fans. Aside from providing the opportunity to not even remotely surprise anyone by saying "May the fourth be with you" today, this month marks the premiere of the new Obi-Wan Kenobi series, and it's also the 45th anniversary of the movie that started it all in 1977. So what better month — and day — than this for Colourpop to launch its new makeup collection inspired by Star Wars IV: A New Hope?

Colourpop is no stranger to collaborations with Lucasfilm Ltd. In addition to products inspired by The Mandalorian, has already shown its love for vintage Star Wars with a Darth Vader palette. But the new collection takes a deeper beauty dive into the original film with products focused primarily on lips and eyes. 

The centerpiece of the eye products — and arguably the collection as a whole — is the Star Wars Pressed Powder Palette ($24). With packaging featuring imagery from the original movie poster, it houses 15 shades that reflect a balance between the light side and the dark side. In addition to neutrals, metallics, blues, and reds, the palettes also includes the brand's Tie Dye Super Shock and Duo Chrome finishes.

 For a different shadow format, there's Protcol & Astromech Jelly Much Shadow ($10 each). The intense metallic finish comes courtesy of a water-based formula. This gives both the ivory shade and the silver shade a combination of softness and saturation.

Regardless if you pick powder or jelly, you can top of your eye look with what might be the most clever items in the collection, Lightsaber & Kyber Crystal Graphix Ink Liner ($10 each). Made to look like the famous Jedi weapon's beams of energy, the bronze and blue shimmery shades are applied with a precision brush tip that creates a super-sharp line.

For lips, both lipstick and gloss lovers have options. Dark Lord, Surrender & Supreme Ruler Crème Lux Lipstick ($10 each) are buttery (literally — pomegranate and jojoba butters are in the formula) and creamy, imparting awesome red, nude, and deep shades. For a shinier look, Elite & Imperial Lux Lip Gloss ($9 each) offers an outrageously shiny Duo Chrome finish that looks awesome alone or layered.

You can also get the entire collection for $105. Needless to say, there are enough people who are obsessed with both Star Wars and makeup to ensure this Colourpop collab will sell out at warp speed, so get yourself to colourpop.com now.
