You know Marge Simpson has to have a flawless beauty routine: as one of TV’s most iconic homemakers, she’s bound to have aced her fair share of DIY skincare products (how else can you explain that immaculate skin?) and can rock a beehive like no one’s business. That’s why we’re totally not surprised that cosmetics brand MAC is bestowing The Simpsons’ matriarch with her very own makeup line slated to hit stores this fall.
According to WWD, the collaboration will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the animated — and now Lego-ized — show, proving that for Marge, age has nothing to do with beauty. There’s no word on what products or palettes will be included in the limited edition collection, but we can guess we’ll be seeing punchy shades of red, yellow and of course, beehive blue — as a set of nail lacquer, too! And we definitely hope for a red lip fit for a Marge-level boss lady, as well as fierce liquid blue eyeliner to amp up date night with your own Homer. But that primary color trio could get a little tricky in some areas, like… blue lipstick? Hmm… Ke$ha’s Kool-Aid lips made us swear it off for good, but if anyone could turn us around on the matter, Marge would be the one to do it.

More From Fashion
The idea of home took on a whole new meaning as soon as sheltering in place and lockdowns became a regular thing in 2020. And it wasn't all bad. We got back to cooking at home, bonding with our partners/families/housemates and pets, and we did a bit of redecorating. In fact, home decor and furniture sites saw huge growth (more than a billion global visits in March 2020 alone) as a result of the pandemic.
<p>Homes were getting upgraded in a major way, from entryways to home offices, and we were all into it as home became our sanctuary. So what's in store for 2021? A little bit of the same with new trends emerging from a renewed sense of hope. We chatted up design and trend experts about 2021 decor trends that are sure to turn into decor classics.</p>
