What It Is: Long before KKW Beauty was even a glimmer in her eye, Kim Kardashian first started working with makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic. The rest is history — in fact, fast forward 10 years to the day and the pair will be releasing their very first makeup collaboration.
Why You Need It: The star of the collection is a 10-pan eyeshadow palette and the colors range from gleaming metallics in cobalt and burgundy to vibrant mattes in scarlet and rust, with a handful of wearable neutrals thrown in for good measure. It's quite the gorgeous selection of colors and the swatches showcase a buttery-smooth formula. In addition to the palette, you'll also notice flashes of a KKW-approved nude lipstick, as well as a couple of sparkly glosses featured in the promo.
How to Get It: Launches April 5 (aka the pair's 10-year anniversary) on kkwbeauty.com.

Too Faced Cosmetics x Jackie Aina
What It Is: Though the collaboration was officially announced back in August, Jackie Aina has just graced her followers with the very first sneak peek of her collaboration with Too Faced. Aina was tapped to help expand the popular Too Faced Born This Way Foundation line to include darker and deeper shades, and it looks like her hard work is about to come to fruition.
Why You Need It: Aina raved about her new Born This Way in a recent beauty tutorial, praising the coverage, comfiness and finish. She even compared it to her previous favorite (Nars Sheer Glow Foundation) — and couched the praise with a dry, "I swear to god, I'm not even just saying this." She revealed that before creating her new shades, her closest match was Mahogany, which was far too red. This new color, she said, is perfect for her "golden realness."
She also had kind words to say about the experience of working with Blandino: "Jerrod was incredibly gracious and so supportive," she said. "Anytime I put my foot down about something, Jerrod was like, 'That's what Jackie wants. That's what she wants.'"
How to Get It: Aina didn't reveal the exact launch date, but she did say that it will be "soon, soon, soon."
What It Is: Kat Von D is giving the people what they want: An eyeshadow palette and nude lipstick, inspired by '70s drag queen icon Divine.
Why You Need It: If you've ever seen one of John Waters' cult classic films, you know that Divine's eyeshadow game was straight fire — he was the unofficial inspiration for "The Little Mermaid's" Ursula, after all. This palette does its muse justice, from the dramatically arched eyebrows decorating the mirror to the spotlight-stealing shades of neon green and blue included in the eight-pan range of shadows. You'll also love the lipstick, a wearable nude housed in a fabulously acid green version of the signature Kat Von D Studded Kiss Crème Lipstick case.
How to Get It: Launched February 14 on katvondbeauty.com, February 23 on sephora.com, and March 3 in Sephora stores.

Becca Cosmetics x Sananas
What It Is: Becca Cosmetics has just teamed up with French beauty guru Sananas2106 to create a gorgeous highlighter.
Why You Need It: Dubbed "Parisian Lights," the highlighter itself is a warm pale pink, pearly as can be and infused with all the gold shimmer you'll need for a truly next-level glow. You can see it in action on Sananas' channel (bonus points if you speak French) and it's quite pretty — similar in glow-factor to the brand's iconic Champagne Pop, but a bit lighter and a touch more pink. As for the piéce de rèsistance? Well, the Eiffel Tower is embossed right into the surface, making it all the more covet-worthy.
How to Get It: Launches soon on beccacosmetics.com.

M.A.C. x Jeremy Scott
What It Is: You know him from his fantastical designs for Moschino (frequently worn by pop megastars, like Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj), and his equally fantastical fragrances -- and now Jeremy Scott is officially joining forces with M.A.C with a flashy three-piece capsule collection.
Why You Need It: Themed around music, the collaboration includes Future Emotion, a nine-shade lip palette designed to look like a cassette tape; Acoustica, a bronzer/highlighter/blush combo cheek palette that looks like a CD and last but not least, Lo-Fi, a deliciously vibrant 29-shade eyeshadow palette styled like a boombox that would make Lloyd Dobler proud.
How to Get It: Launches February 8, on maccosmetics.com.
