OAKLAND, Calif.--()--e.l.f. Cosmetics is celebrating emerging makeup enthusiasts and the power of music for its fifth annual Beautyscape event, lending the opportunity to learn, grow, compete and collaborate alongside other up-and-coming creators.

There will be three final winners who will be picked by a panel of judges and e.l.f.’s community.

Tove Lo will lend her unique point of view on beauty, as she will lead one of three lucky winners in creating products inspired by the self-expression and moods derived from her music. “With a deep passion to explore the depths of my imagination, music has become a great release for my own e.l.f.-expression," said Tove Lo. “Beautyscape provides a special opportunity for beauty lovers to spark creativity by blending both worlds, beauty and music, together.”

In partnership with Universal Music Group and Brands (UMGB) e.l.f. also recently tapped rising Latin music star, Pitizion, and critically acclaimed R&B songstress Tiana Major9, to lead the creation of the other product collections with two winners, as well as participants from Girls Inc., a non-profit organization inspiring all girls to be strong, smart and bold.

About Tove Lo:

Tove Lo is a Grammy and Golden-Globe nominated Swedish singer and songwriter, known for her unique voice and multiplatinum pop hits. Her 2014 full-length debut, Queen of the Clouds, reached platinum status and yielded “Talking Body,” “Moments,” and the quintuple-platinum smash “Habits (Stay High),” which peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. She lent her inimitable voice to Charli XCX’s “Out of My Head” with Alma as well as to the platinum Nick Jonas hit “Close” and Flume’s gold-certified “Say It” as well as dance chart-toppers such as Alesso’s “Heroes,” Major Lazer’s “Blow That Smoke,” and Lucas Nord’s “Run On Love.” 2016’s Lady Wood bowed at #11 on the Billboard Top 200 as its lead single “Cool Girl” clocked upwards of 800 million streams. The sequel, Blue Lips (Lady Wood Phase II), landed on Rolling Stone’s “20 Best Pop Albums of 2017.” Additionally, the seismic single “Bitches” [feat. Charli XCX, Icona Pop, Elliphant, & ALMA] represented a watershed moment for women empowerment in pop. Tove brought together some of the best and brightest female songwriters and artists (and closest friends) and delivered a statement that proved inescapable. In 2019, she released her fourth full-length, Sunshine Kitty, which represented a new season for Tove marked by a reclamation of confidence, hard-earned wisdom, more time, and a nascent romance.
