r.e.m. beauty expands its sci-fi-inspired universe with the launch of the Fembot Capsule Collection, a limited-edition drop centered around the brand’s most viral duochrome shade. Originally introduced as a pressed powder eyeshadow, Fembot now arrives in four new forms, each designed to catch the light and shift in tone depending on the wearer and environment.
MAKEUP
The capsule, conceived by Ariana Grande and her creative team, turns one shade into an entire beauty experience.
The capsule includes:
- Sweet Dreams Powder Eyeshadow Singlet in Fembot
- Eclipse Cheek & Lip Glow Stick in Fembot
- On Your Collar Plumping Lip Gloss in Fembot
- Essential Drip Glossy Balm in Fembot
Available as a bundle for $74.70 (a slight markdown from its $83 total value), the set offers a full-spectrum application of the Fembot shade across eyes, lips, and cheeks. r.e.m. beauty’s signature “duopearl technology” gives each formula a light-reflective finish that changes in color depending on how it’s worn, from blue to pink to lavender, adapting with movement and light.
The shimmer-laden pigment that made the original eyeshadow go viral remains central, but each new product delivers its own sensorial twist. The powder eyeshadow can build from a soft veil to a metallic glaze. The glow stick melts into skin, delivering a dewy, glassy sheen on both cheeks and lips. The glosses, one high-shine, one more subdued, balance sparkle and comfort, offering iridescent payoff without stickiness.
The color story is consistent across all four products, making it ideal for those who want a coordinated glow or to layer finishes for added intensity. Designed to suit a range of skin tones and style preferences, the collection encourages experimentation while remaining wearable.
The Fembot Capsule Collection reflects the brand’s continued focus on individual expression. Rather than segmenting the collection by trend or season, r.e.m. beauty treats Fembot as an attitude, playful, mysterious, and fluid. It’s makeup as signal: a shimmer that changes with every turn, every light source, every skin chemistry.
Grande’s own comments on the launch emphasize the modularity of the capsule, each format expresses a different interpretation of the same base pigment, giving users the ability to customize how much (or how little) shine they want in a given moment.
The Fembot Capsule Collection is available exclusively at rembeauty.com, with a retail rollout scheduled at Ulta Beauty locations starting August 3. Given the limited nature of the drop, and the fanfare already circulating online, it’s expected to move fast.
Whether you’re revisiting a favorite shade or encountering it for the first time, the Fembot Capsule Collection invites you to play with light, reflect individuality, and step into a new kind of shimmer. In true r.e.m. fashion, it’s futuristic, but always personal.
