EMPIRE Collection 

A Collaboration with Television’s #1 FOX Hit Series

To celebrate FOX’s #1 chart-topping drama, EMPIRE, and in time for its highly anticipated second season, Deborah Lippmann has created a limited-edition collection of three fashion hues named after songs performed by the star-studded cast. As the most watched show on broadcast television in 2014-15 and reaching over 22.5 million households during its debut this fall, EMPIRE is today’s leading family drama set in the world of a hip-hop empire and all the glitz and glamour that entails. Now, fans of the show can embrace the rhythm and indulge their fabulous side with these showstopping shades: Hustle Hard, a fierce fuchsia shimmer, Power of the Empire, a gold record glitter, and War of the Roses, a seductive ruby red shimmer.

Available November 2015 (SRP: $24) online at Sephora.com and Nordstrom.com

No stranger to successful celebrity and TV collaborations (i.e. HBO’s “Girls” & “True Blood”), Deborah captured the dazzling style and opulent beauty exhibited throughout the show, led by the infamous woman in charge, Cookie Lyon, with the creation of these lavish new shades. As a trained jazz singer with a lifelong passion for music, Deborah was captivated by the melody and lyrics found within each iconic song, crediting the prowess of EMPIRE Music Producer and songwriter Timbaland. This collaboration carries special meaning for Deborah, a longtime member of the entertainment business with three albums to her own name, and perfectly ties in with the brand’s heritage of using music as one of its inspirational sources. She adds, “As The New York Times said, ‘EMPIRE has prestige, great music and gifted actors…it is Dynasty in the age of hip hop.’ What’s not to love?! It combines all my favorite passions – gorgeous beauty, killer style, and out of this world music. I am a loyal viewer and can’t wait to tune in weekly.”
