School's nearly back in session: Sex Education season 3 will be returning to Netflix this September and it looks like we're not the only ones excited at the thought of more hormonal hijinks from Otis and the gang. 

NYX Professional Makeup has your back-to-school (or back-to-office, or wherever you're going, really) beauty all set with a limited-edition, gender-neutral makeup collection inspired by all of your favorite Moordale students. And, of course, each product comes with an innuendo-filled name (ahem, Bush Tamer Instant Brow Styler, anyone?). 

Whether you're into the plumping lip glosses of popular girl Aimee Gibbs or the ever-vibrant eyeshadows of Eric Effiong, this beauty collab has got something for everyone. Check it all out below!
