Revlon is sponsoring the upcoming exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum — Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving. It opens February 8th and runs through May 12th, 2019.

Revlon is officially the presenting sponsor of the exhibition, which is the largest dedicated to Kahlo in the U.S. in 10 years — and the brand is also a part of the show. 

Visitors will also be able to view paintings, drawings, photographs, related historical films, and works from the Brooklyn Museum’s Mesoamerican collection. 

The exhibition features a collection of the Mexican artist’s personal possessions, including clothing, jewelry — and Revlon cosmetics.

Debra Perelman, CEO, Revlon, says, “Frida Kahlo has made an indelible impact on art and culture by fearlessly expressing herself through bold, uncompromising art. She epitomizes Revlon’s Live Boldly platform, which champions self-expression and confident, independent women.”

Frida Kahlo’s Distinct Look — and Her Favorite Revlon Products

The exhibit intends to shed new light on Kahlo and illustrate how she crafted her appearance and shaped her identity.

A similar exhibition was at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London last year. The photo on the right above is via Vogue, courtesy of the V&A Museum. 

From her eyebrows to her fingertips, Kahlo’s color theory extended beyond the paint brush — with eyebrows accentuated by an ebony-hued brow pencil, and bursts of crimson on her lips and nails, all from her favorite cosmetic brand, Revlon.

Kahlo’s distinct beauty look, which was reflected in many of her self-portraits, has become a universal tribute to true beauty.

“Of my face,” Kahlo said, “I like the eyebrows and the eyes. Aside from that, I like nothing. I have a mustache and the face of the opposite sex.”

The selection of Frida Kahlo’s personal cosmetics that will be featured include Revlon lipstick in Everything’s Rosy; brow pencil in Ebony; nail polish in Frosted Pink Lightning, Frosted Snow Pink and Top Coat; blush in Crimson; and emery boards. 

Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving will be at the Brooklyn Museum, 200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY, from February 8th through May 12th. Purchase tickets here.
