The line includes products for eyes, lips, face and nails and was developed with British makeup artist Diane Kendal — who is known for creating runway looks for designers like Proenza Schouler, Tom Ford and Marc Jacobs. The collection touts over 130 colours, self-described clean formulas and refillable packaging. It will launch on May 12.

Though the retailer has previously tinkered in the beauty space, launching a lipstick line inspired by Pat McGrath in 2018 and a fragrance collaboration with Jo Malone, this will be Zara’s first comprehensive beauty product range.
