The makeup world has a long history of drawing inspiration from popular snacks. Weeks ago, HipDot shared its Reese’s-inspired cosmetics line. Now, a classic beverage is once again getting the Morphe treatment.

Coca-Cola and Morphe Cosmetics are partnering on a limited edition makeup collection to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Coke’s iconic 1971 Unity Campaign.
