What do you do to celebrate a 15-year career as one of Britain’s leading fashion designers? If you’re Matthew Williamson, you collaborate with Benefit Cosmetics to create a limited edition makeup kit! The exclusive-to-Sephora set, titled The Rich is Back, contains a selection of eyeshadows, a mascara, a cheek powder and a lip gloss. Though Williamson prefers a more natural face at his shows, the range of shades chosen for the Benefit kit allows for both a casual and daring look.

In seeking inspiration for the makeup kit, Matthew Williamson explored his print archive and chose vibrant shades reminiscent of ’70s cocktail parties and hedonistic discos. “This high-octane makeup kit encapsulates some of my favorite iconic prints and the fun-loving, light-hearted spirit of the Benefit girl,” Williamson said via press release. The designer, who is widely know for his obsession with colour, chose a bright kaleidoscope print with peacock feathers and pink flowers for the makeup kit’s packaging.

The collection is available in Sephora stores June 2013, but if you can’t wait that long—and you’re in Toronto—you’re in luck. Benefit has been promoting #TheRichIsBack on Twitter, inviting customers to come to a one day flash sale event held this Friday, May 10 between 12-7pm at the Toronto Eaton Centre Sephora. The pink carpet event promises a live DJ, body painting and a chance to pick up tips from leading Benefit makeup artists. Need we say more?
