Mysterious Makeup - Crowd Design Livestream

Dear Insane Children, 

As many of you know my wife and I are expecting an "Insane Child" to arrive in our house very soon! Yan's due date is September 2nd and she says that day can't come soon enough... 

In the meantime, she's at home on maternity leave and spending her time working on a variety of products for Mysterious. She's spent her entire career working in the fashion industry and has a lot of love for product design, manufacturing, and other elements related to many of the products we make and sell. 

One of her passions is makeup - yours too, right?! - and she's working on a Line of makeup inspired by Alice and the concept artwork we're producing for Asylum. 

She'd like to present her ideas to the world and collect feedback. 

So we're hosting a Livestream on YouTube this Friday at 10AM (Hong Kong Time). That's Thursday night at 7PM for those of you in the USA on PST. 

Hit THIS LINK to set a reminder and join the discussion!

This event will be 100% focused on Yan's work related to this makeup line concept. If this sort of thing interests you then please join us. Bring your questions, suggestions, and feedback. 

And feel free to leave pre-event questions and suggestions in the comments below.

A couple of important points to establish right away: 

Yes, these products are Cruelty Free, Vegan, and the ingredients (such as mica) are Ethically Sourced. The factory we're talking to provides audited statements of proof on these points. Were we unable to assure these things we wouldn't get into this business to start with! 

We look forward to seeing you during the stream!

From Shanghai with Blush,

-American & Yan

When will there be more on the site I completely missed them 😭😭😭😭

each box or item should have a different character on it, or maybe even just her in different theme outfits. Or hmm i’m not sure i love the idea tho!

I need these. Where can I buy them?! Grate on the baby btw!!

I need

The brushes would look awesome with a sort of Vorpal blade handle😍

I would love to see the butterflies and brushes in blue as well 🦋

What will the makeup be made out of? It worries me a bit, I have super sensitive skin and everything makes me break out.

Would buy this in a heartbeat

I love the shit out of this however my only note is that it's very obvious that the brushes are the same as the Morphe x Jeffree Star brushes which I'm not complaining they feel super natural in the hand but a more original design would be preferable

I'd also love a reusable magnetic palette, that way we could customize our own shades and continue using the palette even after we finish the eyeshadow!

Loved the livestream! Another idea would be to have each color correspond to an Asylum dress (e.g. yellow for denial, blue for regular, purple for chaos, gold for ball, red for rage, white for circus, and maybe various gray to black shades for blackening, depression, and harvest). These wouldn't be as wearable though it would depend on whether most people already have a lot of makeup (like me) and are looking for more unique colors, or if they just want something that can be worn day to day or for cosplay.

I agree, I think it would be cool if the packaging came in a few of the art prints, perhaps at random so it's a surprise? It might be too expensive to produce though.

Loved Tuning into the LiveStream the other day! The blue and red boxes are really iconic of Alice. We were discussing a themed box in the chat that could center around the Oyster Garden theme colors. It could include green and coral colors which are very popular on a variety of skin tones! Love all you do!

I think it would be really cool if they were different Alice pictures or, one was an Alice picture and the others were locations/ all of Alice dresses? Otherwise I have no suggestions. Its gorgeous

what about your outter goth?

Watching the livestream right now and I'm so excited! I'm so happy to see that the eyeshadow palettes will be mostly matte shades, with one of the palettes having a lot of cool grey tones. I remember before blue was the thing I was looking for a good blue matte to no avail... so maybe now that I'm looking for grey tones that they'll boom this fall/winter like blue did this summer. So excited!!!

LeahLiddell

This looks amazing! Love those brushes, I'd only add and small angle brush, thats the only thing missing from that set. From what I can see of the shade, that deep red is a must!

Just the packaging and such is enough to make me buy this haha.

YAN LOOKS SOOO GORGEOUS!!!! I really am so excited for you two.💜 Also I'm digging the makeup mockup!!! xo

Congratulation for your little bundle of joy/insanity 😉 Looking forward to the new patient's arrival as well as this already marvelous looking makeup line!

Juliette Bourcier

good point. it's based off Joey's artwork, but still, good point.

and congratulations on the bby,

omg i can't believe that this is happening <3

Ooh I really like the brushes design. Can't wait to hear more about it! I persinally do not use makeup myself, but it would be very cool to have this collection anyway! Who knows mayeb I'll start using some ^^

Definitely not Adam Driver

QUESTION: Will these products contain any carcinogenic chemicals? A surprising amount of things here in the U.S. have a Proposition 65 warning, meaning that they have chemicals that cause cancer and reproductive harm. P.S.- I'm excited to see Yan on the stream!

Wendy Jaa

Yes please! Maybe a Mysterious Merlot lipstick?

OMG I love the brushes!!! But maybe thinking of using red hearts instead of butterflies?

I need this more than I have needed anything this month.

That's 4 AM for me! 😭 Due to these times, I have never watched a live stream, and I so want too! 😞 I do love the idea of makeup, but I would even more embrace jewelry: earrings and rings! <= I SO want those! 😄

Of course I have to miss this one. 😭

Wendy Jaa

Cute set! Though i am wondering if the red on the tips of the brushes would make it difficult to tell how much product is on them being that many products are red.

I love the brushes - red or blue is all fine by me. Currently I only own a few super cheap brushes, but this is liable to tickle my fancy and I already feel inclined to purchase! Regarding packaging, I dig it and like the aesthetic in general, but feel it could likely be punched up a notch somehow (not sure how exactly lol). Regarding the makeup itself, I don’t know how intrigued I am personally as I already have a lot and typically go for stand-out qualities in terms of color or glitter/shimmer/etc. I’ll try to tune in for the livestream for the full scoop though because I’m definitely interested in hearing the whole concept and think it’s a great place to branch into for fans 🙌🏻✨

Lauren Tina

But late here in the UK for me to join in but I love this idea! The brushes and packaging looks great. I would definitely have a set

Agreed on the blue butterflies. That feels more natural to me

Laura Fowler

Yes please! I love those brush concepts.

I love the red and black brushes, and I agree with someone above who said the butterflies and brushes should be blue, but how about vorpal blade handles on the brushes? If that would be too expensive to replicate, then I love the current design, but in blue because it makes sense for Alice’s butterflies. I am so excited to see this makeup series!

Melissa Chanyarlak

I won't be able to watch the livestream so based on this post alone I'll offer my initial thoughts. I think it's a great idea and the concept packaging definitely catches my interest. However as someone who already owns a lot of cosmetics of varying quality, this idea would need to offer something besides the beautiful packaging. The world of Alice is dark and twisted but at the same time overwhelms us with colour when we least expect it - the make up should reflect that :) Looking forward to seeing this idea evolve!

I need it now ♥

Oh wow. I'd want these

Whoah, this is gorgeous! I love the brushes! Not sure about the packaging being the same, but it's still early. All in all, I love it! Wishing all the best with the arrival of the baby!

I want to give some feedback but I might sound critical. I’m a graphic design major so there’s a lot I want to say about the design and packaging. But I guess overall it’s okay.

art3mis

Everything is absolutely gorgeous - I love the tones and how everything is presented. Not to forget, Yan herself looks completely fabulous! Congrats on the future little one!

I usually don't wear makeup in my daily life but I'm still buying this xD Yan should emphasize on smokey colors instead of vibrant ones in my opinion. Best of luck with her upcoming labor <3

I love everything about this!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍

Cool!

I think Imma cry 😭😭😭 I'm...so...happy

I'm noticing the colors to be not so... Fantasy based, so to speak. What makes them wonderland? What was the inspiration for choosing the color palletes?

Sarah Heist

it looks like a PR makeup box, but like mixed with my favorite game? Yes. it's a must buy

Brotchen

any ideas on price yet? I'll start saving now 😂

Brotchen

Oooooooooh yes. Let's go, go, go!

Saucentric

If I were a woman I’d wear the crap outta this!

I love the brushes! And the tote! And the powders! Who am I kidding, I love it all. You guys, Harry Potter, and Dragon Age are getting most of my spending money lately XD

I hope we get two different options. I would also love to see a palate set for the Cheshire dress. It could be all smokey eyeshadow with silvers greys and a bit of red. 🦊🐱

Are we going to get different pallets to match different dresses? My inner goth would love a Harvest Dress set or hysteria one.

Morgan LeFay Dethen

I love everything about this so much! I’m wondering if you could possibly add this to the list of products for the 3x35 Art Print tier? Depending on the final price of the makeup set, I imagine. If not, that’s totally fine because I’m interested either way 😍

AMAZING!

😱😱😱 I can't wait!!

😆👍👍👍

Wonderful. They look beautiful! I would love to see a concept of the product in Blue. The butterflies and brushes all with blue other than red to match more of Alice's style.

Omg excited!!!!

Omg I need it al!
