Guys! My worlds are colliding. Two of my favorite things — Sneakers (because comfortable) and Makeup (because obvi) are making beautiful music together….
Fusing Reebok’s most iconic silhouettes with FACE Stockholm’s in-your-face color palettes, the Reebok Classic x FACE Stockholm sneaker collaboration is not to be missed. Serving as the face of the campaign (dubbed: “You’re Naked Without It”), actress and style blogger Ashley Madekwe is wearing nothing more than her Reebok kicks and coordinating FACE Stockholm makeup. Of the collaboration, Ashley had this to say: “I’m a huge sneaker fan and the Reebok Classic X FACE Stockholm collection is so fresh, edgy and versatile. The finishing touches make such a difference to any look — a bold lip, a brush of mascara and pulling on my Reebok Classic kicks is the perfect way to complete any outfit.â€
At the recent launch event at at Canoe Studios in NYC, I got to ask Ashley a few questions:
FELICIA
Why does the Reebok Classic x FACE Stockholm partnership makes sense for you?
ASHLEY
I’m a sneakers girl…baby of the 80’s. I grew up in Reebok Classics. And no one has really ever done sneakers and beauty. I can’t believe no one else has done it.
FELICIA
At what age did you start your beauty routine? And what was your actual routine?
ASHLEY
I took an interest in makeup around 13 or 14. My mom was really strict. I somehow managed to get a black kohl pencil…which I would only wear on the bottom — which was quite tragic!
FELICIA
When did you start your skincare routine?
ASHLEY
I used to steal my mom’s Oil of Olay Beauty Fluid when I was like 13. (Sorry, mom!) I loved the smell. But now I love Shu Uermura Cleansing Oil…I’ve used it for like 15 years. Iy’s the only thing that takes everything off. I follow it with Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip. I also like Sunday Riley Good Genes. It just sounds like something you want to look like — good genes!
FELICIA
Are you into Charlotte Tilbury?
ASHLEY
I love her Iconic Nude Lip Liner because you can sort of cheat your lip a little bit. It’s great color!
FELICIA
What’s your go-to look for summer?
ASHLEY
I love glowy glowy skin and a tinted lip balm.
Available now (at $70-$75), you can find The Reebok Classic x FACE Stockholm collection at Urban Outfitters, Villa, Lady Foot Locker and Reebok.com.
These sneakers look super cute! So excited for this launch 🙂
