Meredith Duxbury is on a mission to see where her passion for beauty can take her.
The 24-year-old beauty expert debuted a dazzling collection in partnership with Morphe and shared exclusively with We why this collaboration is only the start.
The collection features a 35-pan Artistry Palette offering a range of neutral, shimmery, vibrant, and pastel shades, perfect for recreating Duxbury's distinctive looks. Additionally, the line includes a Foaming Face Primer, a Morphe x Meredith Duxbury Lip Duo, a Brow Sculpt & Brush Duo, and an Eye, Face & Lip Gloss.
"I have always dreamt of living in New York, and now that I am here, it has become an integral part of my collection," stated Duxbury to Us, explaining the motivation behind the products. "I want to convey the immense inspiration the city brings me. With our captivating color palettes, you will be transported to the captivating New York City sunset and the vibrant skyline of a summer evening."

Duxbury expressed that the drop has a strong personal touch, featuring eye shades named after her dog, her current neighborhood, and her obsession with Gossip Girl. She shared that she included a mix of various elements in the collection.
Furthermore, Duxbury commended Morphe for their trust in her vision and their refusal to set any boundaries on makeup.
Duxbury, who is renowned for her makeup skills, acknowledged to Us that developing her Morphe collection was a learning opportunity. She stated, "Crafting a palette can be a difficult task. It's similar to creating art where you need to select colors that complement each other or are user-friendly." Duxbury emphasized the importance of convenience, particularly for her fans who are new to the beauty industry. "I made sure to include a mirror in my palettes, allowing people to hold the palette in one hand and apply the makeup with the other."
Additionally, Duxbury curated a selection of instructional graphics for her collection. These visuals provide fans with a comprehensive, step-by-step guide on the proper techniques for applying and layering colors.
"I strongly believe that it is crucial for individuals, regardless of their skill level, to feel at ease when using a product. We are all continuously growing, and I myself am constantly learning," Duxbury shared with Us.
Duxbury discussed her personal growth and expressed her desire not to be confined by a specific career path.
Since joining TikTok in March 2020, Duxbury has gained an impressive following of almost 20 million. She has collaborated with Kiss, featured in a campaign for e.l.f. Cosmetics, and secured a partnership with Ulta Beauty. Her viral foundation technique, where she applies large amounts of product directly to her face using her hands, has become her signature style.
"I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities TikTok has bestowed upon me, yet I perceive myself as more than just a content creator - I am an artist," she expressed. "Drawing has been my doorway to discovering my love for makeup, but my ardor for fashion is equally fervent. My aspiration is to establish my own beauty brand someday. Life holds a myriad of passions and ambitions for me, and I resist being confined to a single category."
Duxbury further remarked, "I believe in embracing the evolution of individuals, and I will consistently take my followers along on this journey."
