The highly anticipated live action version of Disney’s The Lion King is underway and coming to a theater near you starting July 19. The trailers for the film have hardly given any hints away, but in the meantime, Disney is about to launch a Lion King makeup collection. Not to mention, the line is only being brought to fans by Beyoncé's makeup artist Sir John for Luminess Cosmetics.

A press release states that the collection is comprised of eight different pieces, including an eyeshadow palette, a contour sculpting palette, two liquid lipsticks, two bullet matte lipsticks, a highlighter and bronzer duo, and a lip balm. Sir John Barrett brings his artistry to the line as the artistic director, deriving inspiration from the film and the culture.

"This collection speaks to all the women I know and grew up with – my mother, sister, friends," Sir John tells Bustle. "It has been culturally relevant since inception. The Broadway show still runs today. Since there are no princesses in this movie, as a kid, I felt like could identify with the characters and journey. I wanted to be a part of re-imagining the story in a new, relevant way."

The collection brings the classic Disney film to a makeup lover’s vanity gathering inspiration from the colors and the richness of Africa, while still maintaining the personalities of Simba, Nala, and the gang.

"This story has something for everyone, from Harlem to Hong Kong," Sir John says. "I celebrate that it is a call to action to celebrate Africa as a place of light and a beacon of hope."

Fans can shop everything in the collection starting Jun.15 at LuminessCosmetics.com/disney or Ulta.com starting Jun. 16. The collection will also be available in select Ulta stores, which will roll out on July 1. All the pieces in the Sir John x Luminess Lion King Collection retails between $24 and $42, but since it’s limited edition, shoppers may want to jump on it quick.

Here’s a closer look at everything to come in this dreamy Disney makeup line.
