Transcript excerpt

Designing cool shit for Sharpie. I would design an entire makeup collection. Starting off strong with a tubing mascara. And for the packaging, the wand comes out of the cap, so when it's close, it looks just like a Sharpie. Good follow it up with a fine point eyeliner, and when it's close, it looks just like a Sharpie. We'd do a lip liner that comes in four different colors, and when they're closed, they all look like Sharpies. Inspired by this iconic 12 pack, I would do an eyeshadow palette, where every color exactly matches one of the markers. We'd do the same thing for this rank. Another eyeshadow palette, where every color is a different shade of black. The full Sharpie Makeup Collection. Let me know what brand I should do best.
