11 Beauty Products Every 'Harry Potter' Fan Needs
Harry Potter-themed cosmetics are having a major moment right now, and life basically couldn't be better. After all, what better way to pledge your allegiance to the best fantasy series ever than by with your makeup? There are just some beauty products that every Harry Potter fan needs in their arsenal, from potions-inspired lip glosses (YES), to those absolutely gorgeous wand-shaped makeup brushes (even more YES).
At this point, most of the makeup is fan-made and/or from indie beauty companies, which in a way makes it even more special. These creators really put a lot of heart and soul into the Harry Potter-inspired names and packaging — and of course, the spot-on products themselves. That's not to say a collaboration with a big brand like MAC or Sephora wouldn't be very (very!) welcome right now, but it's nice to see the community coming together and creating such fandom-pleasing makeup products.
So, with that in mind, lets take a look at 11 must-have beauty products for every Potterhead, from Luna Lovegood-inspired lip color (it's gorgeous), to Voldemort-inspired highlighter (surprisingly, just as gorgeous). There are also a few makeup accessories (like Harry Potter makeup pouches and brush holders), so you can really get the full fan experience.
