Today, Los Angeles-based beauty brand HipDot Cosmetics becomes the latest player to partner with the tabletop roleplaying phenomenon – Critical Role. What started as a group of ‘nerdy-ass voice’ actors sitting around a table, playing Dungeons and Dragons, has evolved into a force of nature, committed to storytelling, community, imagination, ‘and leaving the world better than when they found it.’
This new collection will mark Critical Role’s venture into the beauty vertical.

Critical Role x HipDot Cosmetics
“With this collaboration we are excited to bring the beauty and roleplaying worlds together in an inclusive way, providing people from all walks of life a new way to get into character. Critical Role came out the gate doing things in a way that hadn’t been done before. Which really resonated with fans and the way we approach things. We love the beautiful and fun world they have created and it has been a pleasure recreating their world in a makeup collection” said Jeff Sellinger, CEO of HipDot Cosmetics. “HipDot has become a trailblazer in the beauty industry working with all different types of brands, and being able to bring the beloved Critical Role brand into our industry has been one of the most unique experiences to date.
“The cast has been imagining ideas for a mythical makeup collaboration for ages and it’s been an absolute dream come true to see this come to life with HipDot,” said Laura Bailey, co-founder and cast member of Critical Role. “Every step of the way, they brought fantastic ideas to the table and really captured the magic of our Fletching & Moondrop carnival. Opening the palette feels like you have a ticket to the show. (Side note – I’m obsessed with the Lionette Wine lip color.)”
