Pür Minerals Teams with Nat Geo Wild for the Perfect Cat Eye

Inspired by the majestic felines featured on Nat Geo Wild's annual Big Cat Week, the network teamed up with global cosmetics brand Pür Minerals to create a limited edition, Untamed Glamour makeup collection to inspire women to achieve the perfect cat-eye look. The three-piece collection featuring a leopard print embossed Mineral Glow Bronzing Powder, Black Precision Cat-Eye Eyeliner and Big Blink Deluxe Mascara is now available in the U.S., Canada, Belgium, Sweden, Australia and the U.K. in advance of Nat Geo Wild’s fourth annual Big Cat Week, which begins Friday, November 29.

In the U.S., the kit will be sold at retailers Ulta, Kohl's, ShopNBC and at purminerals.com. To support the Untamed Glamour launch and drive Big Cat Week viewership, Nat Geo wild and Pur Minerals will use the combined power of their marketing assets to deliver hundreds of millions of promotional impressions across all platforms. The centerpiece of the promotional effort is a thirty-second custom TV spot that will begin running on Nat Geo Wild in early November featuring "fiercely beautiful" models walking the catwalk in the African savannah surrounded by big cats as onlookers.

To further help women achieve the perfect cat-eye look, Pur Minerals makeup artists will give cat-eye makeovers in 29 Ulta Beauty stores in 10 markets from mid-October through Big Cat Week and to National Geographic employees at the Washington, D.C., headquarters just prior to Big Cat Week. Retail partners Ulta and Kohl's are also getting behind the effort with in-store signage, digital and social media support.

A portion of the proceeds goes to National Geographic's Big Cats Initiative, dedicated to halting the decline of big cats in the wild through conservation and awareness.

"Big cats are the ultimate symbol of power, beauty and grace, which is why I am thrilled that by working with Pur Minerals we were able to bring part of their majesty to the masses, all while helping women get catwalk ready for Big Cat Week," said Mari Belalcazar, director partnership marketing for National Geographic Channels.

"Dating back to Cleopatra, the cat eye has been an undeniable influence in beauty and is still very much in vogue today. It is with great honor that Pur Minerals was able to offer a modern twist on such an iconic look while benefiting the National Geographic Big Cats initiative," said Julie Campbell, vice president, Pur Minerals.
