Supreme’s latest collab is lipstick with makeup artist Pat McGrath – in a year where people are stuck in face masks
The cult skater brand is dropping a bold red lipstick in partnership with renowned makeup artist Pat McGrath — the brand’s first-ever beauty collaboration in its 26 year-history.
For anyone who plans on actually wearing the lip color rather than just collecting the limited-edition tube emblazoned with the iconic Supreme logo, it comes in McGrath’s signature MatteTrance formula, which means it has a velvety opaque matte finish that’s still hydrating for the lips.
Supreme has a history of splashy collaborations: In February, Supreme-branded Oreos re-sold for $2,600 on eBay after they dropped, and, in 2018, Supreme’s New York Post cover wrap became a collector’s item.

KFC Trinidad apologizes for ‘insensitive’ Emancipation Day artwork

Several hours later, KFC TT returned with another graphic, one filled with balloons accompanied by a caption which wrote, “Happy Emancipation Day (sic) On August 1, 1985, Trinidad & Togabo became the first country in the world to declare a national holiday to commemorate the abolition of slavery.”
