Erika Jayne talks to us about working with Too Faced on her Pretty Mess makeup collection

If you’ve ever found yourself watching Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, daydreaming about trying a makeup look audacious enough for Erika Girardi’s many glamorous ensembles, then you are far from alone. Ever since Girardi—more affectionately known by her pop star moniker Erika Jayne—first graced the screen, she has been inspiring her fellow Housewives and fans to release their inner Pretty Mess.

Since Erika has a glam squad to follow her around 24/7 and make sure her hair and lip game is on point, she’s had a lot of time to figure out what she prefers in a product. And now, she has brought that knowledge to her very own Pretty Mess makeup collaboration with Too Faced cosmetics.

Erika first met the Too Faced co-founder and chief creative officer Jerrod Blandino when they worked on the Better Than Sex mascara campaign together, and they quickly developed a close friendship. Their connection, combined with Erika’s love of makeup and performance naturally dove-tailed into the pair developing Pretty Mess.

For Erika, creating her own makeup line felt like a natural next step in her booming career.

Erika told HelloGiggles:

"After many years of wearing makeup on stage and on television, it was now time to create my own. I took my favorite products down to the Too Faced headquarters and sat with Jerrod, and explained to him what I liked most about each product and how we could achieve the perfect lips and eyes all in one."

The collection itself feels plucked straight off of Erika’s vanity; each of the products are labeled with pun-infused sexual double entendres and the packaging screams glam. There are six full-sized products to lust over, including the standout 12-shade Pretty Mess eyeshadow palette, a body shimmer, a highlighter, two color and gloss lip kits, and Erika’s very own lip plumper to maximize your pout.
