America's #1 Gloss Brand Continues Evolution into Sports and Pop Culture Entertainment

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NYX Professional Makeup announces its first-ever Big Game commercial—starring global icon, Cardi B—debuting on Sunday, February 11. The Grammy-award winning artist and longtime fan of NYX secures her first-ever beauty partnership with the campaign.

"NYX is a brand that I've used since high school and that's why it's so special to partner with them for this campaign," said Cardi B. "NYX has always made the best, affordable products, and that's why I still use them today. We had a lot of fun making this over-the-top, hilarious commercial and I can't wait for everyone to see."

NYX Professional Makeup's commercial will tackle the traditionally male-dominated football industry with Cardi B and powerful women at the forefront.

"For our 25^th year, we wanted to make history with our first-ever Big Game commercial and our first major celebrity partnership. We've gone big, creating the ultimate entertainment content made to be bold, colorful, and fun while celebrating powerful women. There is no better partner than Cardi B—a global icon who is both a major makeup lover and trendsetter. We are excited to bring NYX to the forefront of culture on the ultimate entertainment stage."

"For many years, we have been building NYX as the brand of entertainment with strategic partnerships at the height of culture," said Yasmin Dastmalchi, General Manager of NYX Professional Makeup. "With our inaugural Big Game campaign, we are excited to merge beauty and sportstainment as we continue our evolution into an unstoppable brand with no boundaries."

The fun doesn't stop there. The brand will reveal an exclusive product launch to support the campaign. Today, February 1, NYX Professional Makeup, known for their professional grade products at accessible price points, will release the new Duck Plump shade 'Cherry Spice' worn by Cardi B in the commercial, exclusive to nyxcosmetics.com and ULTA Beauty.
