My Chemical Romance is teasing a makeup line, so finally we can copy that iconic Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge-era red eyeshadow.
The band took to Twitter on Wednesday morning to tease the new line with a video, simply captioned “eyes.”

Call it wishful thinking, but at first I was hoping that it would be a new album, or even an announcement that they’re moving to Australia and playing a residency at the Opera House. Unfortunately, I was wrong. But a makeup palette is still really bloody cool and let’s be real, you could sell me a bag of dog poop with MCR on it and I’d probably buy it.
The video is cryptic as all hell, and honestly, I didn’t even know it was for a makeup collab until HipDot Cosmetics took to Twitter to share the same video with a “coming soon” note.
Here’s a hint…

I’m not sure how this wasn’t a merch item they sold back in 2007 when everyone was 47 layers deep in black eyeliner. But I’m sure it’ll be worth the wait now that it’s finally happening.
If you had tried to sell me a black eyeliner pencil with Gerard Way’s name on it in high school, I would have literally bought the whole damn stockpile. I mean it when I say, this is a *great* business move.
Sure, the palette is probaly 15 shades of black and one of that iconic red, and sure, I probably dont need another makeup palette. But is that going to stop me from wasting my money on this? Absolutely fucking NOT.
There’s no word on exactly when the palette will be released, but I’d highly recommend turning your post notifications on for the My Chemical Romance Twitter account for the foreseeable future. Trust me, this will sell out instantly.
The emos! They love eyeliner!
