This summer had us capturing and creating images non-stop for the booming Kylie Cosmetics line. In addition to the flurry of new colors make-up mogul Kylie Jenner has released throughout 2016, summer brought its share of unique launch events, including Kylie’s birthday and a Kylie & friends campaign showcasing new lip colors designed for different skin tones—most notably the oft-overlooked darker complexions.

The Birthday Edition series features stunning gold packaging, new eye-shadow powders, and limited-edition exclusive lip colors. We also had the pleasure of working with wonderful lip models Kayla & Lindsay from The Lip Swatch, who pursed the perfect poses for the camera.

Kylie’s crew gives new meaning to the term “squad goals”, so it was only appropriate that they would all get in front of the camera to introduce a new line of lip colors designed to complement specific skin complexions. Each of the talented ladies struck a stunning portrait on her own, though the group shots made the campaign shine brightest by capturing an unmistakable chemistry between friends.

View the campaign shots above and below, and look for exclusives on Kylie Jenner‘s and the Kylie Cosmetics‘ instagrams!
