The Barbiecore trend was popularized in 2023 with the anticipation and release of Greta Gerwig’s film “Barbie,” starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. Patrick Ta reignites the aesthetic by way of two new makeup additions.

The She’s a Barbie Doll Blush Duo features a creamy base to seamlessly blend into the skin. Its patented biomimetic pigments ensures natural adhesion. The Malibu Dreamhouse Plumping Gloss enhances shine and adds a layer of moisture, and the peppermint ingredient stimulates the lips for an instant plumping effect.

“We’re so excited to be teaming up with Barbie for our first brand collaboration,” Ta said. “The timing felt so right for a major moment coming up on our five-year anniversary.

“Barbie is a trendsetter in the fashion and beauty world, and as an artist, the perfect muse. Creating a pink collection that felt powerful and encouraged confidence and self-empowerment was a must,” Ta said.

“Gorgeous on all skin tones, we wanted this to be the perfect reminder to never shy away from what makes you unique. Beauty is what allowed me to be myself and find my voice, and Barbie evokes such confidence in celebrating who you are, as you are.”

The collaboration between Patrick Ta and Barbie marks the first for the beauty brand. While the collection features Barbie’s iconic pink aesthetic, the mission extends to empowering those who wear Patrick Ta’s makeup products.

“Barbie and Patrick Ta embody confidence and empowerment, inspiring everyone to embrace their limitless potential,” said Meredith Norrie, vice president of global licensing and consumer products at Mattel.

“To continue celebrating Barbie’s 65th anniversary, we worked with our wonderful partners at Patrick Ta Beauty to create two cosmetics that honor Barbie’s favorite color, iconic pink — She’s a Barbie Doll Blush Duo and Malibu DreamHouse Plumping Gloss by Patrick Ta Beauty. We hope the bright and bold power color used will help fans feel confident and beautiful, reinforcing the belief that they can be anything.”
