peek into coca cola x morphe the unity collaboration

on tuesday, may 11th, 2021, morphe unveil their latest beauty series inspired by coca cola’s iconic 1971 retro ad. this isn’t the first time the two brands popped up with such unique collaboration, as last year’s black and red bold, nuanced makeup pallette from their thirst for life series successfully make a hit.
