For women of a certain age, Lizzie McGuire was the coolest kid we had ever seen. Hilary Duff’s most famous character might have favored numerous hair bobbles, fluorescent eye-shadow, and colorful sleeves that didn’t match the rest of her outfit, but if you were a viewer watching her on the titular show, from 2001 to 2004 (as well as in the accompanying spin-off movie, per IMDb), it was tough to imagine anybody looking fiercer than Lizzie. She managed to make even the wildest early-2000s beauty trends work for her. 

As Allure reported, in March 2021, makeup company Colourpop answered all our tween girl prayers with the release of their dedicated “Lizzie McGuire” collection. Their official collaboration with the hit television show comprised eight key products; a super colorful (naturally) eyeshadow palette, a couple lip gloss duos, a lip scrub, two glitter pastes, and two accompanying powder blushes all of which you could easily imagine Lizzie herself wearing. Happily, the collection was affordable too, making it ideal for teens.  One person who obviously wouldn’t have to worry about pricing, though, was Duff herself, right? Surely she got the collection comped?
