NYX Drops Spring Makeup Collection in iHeartLand on Roblox

In July 2022, Accenture's Audrey Depraeter-Montacel noted, "The metaverse is much more than gaming. In fact, about 60% of millennials want to buy real-life products in virtual worlds. Even among baby boomers, one-third of consumers are interested in services such as consulting with experts in a virtual or augmented reality setting on topics such as hair or makeup tutorials."

Indeed, 2022 has been the year of metaverse-beauty collaborations, the latest of which is Nyx's forthcoming spring 2023 collection drop in iHeartLand on Roblox.

House of NYX Professional Makeup in iHeartLand on Roblox will feature three limited-edition looks inspired by the brand's newest product drop. Avatars can collect the looks and snap selfies on the brand’s pink carpet.

Roblox has been a go-to metaverse platform for beauty. Nyx previously featured the Color Quest experience on the platform, while Dove launched a self esteem project in the space.

And, this past Halloween, Roblox hosted Urban Decay and Paris Hilton's Paris World Cryptoween, featuring exclusive makeup looks from Urban Decay.
