Meet our founder, chief creative officer and head makeup artist aka Halsey.

Inspired by and for our diverse and artistic community, we create makeup made with integrity and intention, for all stages of life. We are built on the truth that no one is just one thing -- humans are weird, complex, and entirely beautiful because of it. Everyone has their own messy, mad, and personal method to becoming our greater selves.
Make u(p) without rules. Made for the many of you.

About Face

Artis, the Latin word for "skill, method, technique," recognized that the entire category of beauty tools was based on an "artist-applies-to-the-canvas" premise—someone applying product on someone/something else. How different is the experience when the artist is the canvas? The answer is: a totally different beauty paradigm. Artis brought a disruptive perspective to the process of makeup self-application, to design and create a new category of beauty tools which enable a more intuitive, beautiful and ergonomic experience.

Chantecaille sets a luxurious standard in the world of modern, botanical skincare and cosmetics. Our obsession with flowers and their amazing natural abilities to heal and work in harmony with the body is at the heart of our passion for skincare. Through ground-breaking scientific advancement, meticulous formulation and personal commitment, we use beauty as a tool to effect change in the world. By creating purposeful, obsession-worthy beauty products crafted from the purest ingredients, we've raised the bar for the beauty industry. We’ve also created a philanthropy platform which shines a spotlight on global environmental issues and supports conservation efforts around the globe.

Innovation:
From botanicals with superpowers to plant stem cells which provide sustainable ingredients that produce unparalleled results, our products are powered with innovative integrity. We work with laboratories around the globe who are at the cutting edge of technology, and our uncompromising demand for quality yields the superior textures, brilliant colors and revolutionary formulas that have gained our customers' trust.

Beauty with Results:
Recognizing the potential in botanical ingredients is something that Chantecaille was built upon. When Sylvie discovered a field of Rose de Mai in Grasse, she zeroed in on a new, revolutionary rosewater that possessed unprecedented anti-aging, skin-perfecting benefits. Products that start with a foundation of anti-inflammatory, soothing plant-based ingredients that boost the skin’s natural protective qualities are at the heart of Chantecaille, and we are always ceaselessly searching for the most effective ingredients that produce the most impactful, visible, beautiful results.

Philanthropy:
It is not enough for us to create perfect products. As people passionate about nature—it’s where we escape whenever we can— and lovers of animals, we are concerned about our environment's well-being. We strive to connect, educate and provide support to conservation efforts around the globe. Each season we align our products with a cause that needs a platform, and we offer charitable support to organizations doing the intrepid, important work of protecting those who don't have a voice: our oceans, our forests, gorillas, lions. These partnerships help us connect with our customers on an even deeper level, as we bond over our shared responsibility to Mother Nature.

The Family:
The company is built from the collaboration of an entire family. With more than 30 years of beauty experience, Sylvie is the creator of Chantecaille and known as one of the industry's foremost innovators. As Creative Director, Sylvie's daughter Olivia develops all of Chantecaille's modern, unique products and drives the company's vision across public relations, advertising and social media. Daughter Alex is Vice President of Sales and Promotions, traveling the world creating, planning and executing Chantecaille’s sales and promotional strategies. As director of Media Productions, son Philippe brings his love for art and photography to his work creating brand imagery and videos. Olivier Chantecaille, Sylvie's husband, serves as the company's Chief Financial Officer, where he combines his business acumen with his inherent passion for the environment.

OUR STORY

Hourglass, the cruelty-free beauty brand, is known for its innovation and commitment to reinventing luxury cosmetics. The complexion, color, and skincare are crafted to be undetectably transformative while effortless to apply. Paradigm products feature cutting-edge formulas with active ingredients and covetable packaging that elevate expectations of how a product should look, feel, and perform.

OUR MISSION 
We believe beauty and integrity should be synonymous, which is why we are as uncompromising with our products’ performance as we are with our commitment to animals.

Since its launch in 2004, Hourglass has been a cruelty-free brand that has stood against animal testing. As part of our mission, we donate 1% of annual profits from hourglasscosmetics.com to our partner, the Nonhuman Rights Project, a U.S. organization that works to secure fundamental rights for animals. Additionally, 5% of annual profits from all Unlocked ™ products sold globally are donated to support the organization’s efforts.

We will continue working towards change because we believe in seeing eye to eye with animals. Like us, they are living beings that experience love and happiness; pain and fear. We will stay true to our mission until they are protected in the beauty industry and beyond.

"With the Eye to Eye campaign, we wanted to capture the humanity in the animal’s eyes."
 
- Carisa Janes, Hourglass founder & CEO



JOURNEY TO VEGAN
Our compassion for animals has always been at the heart of Hourglass, and in 2017, we began to re-examine what it meant to be truly cruelty-free. We decided that in order for us to move forward with integrity, we had to push not only for ingredients that haven't been tested on animals but also for ingredients that aren’t derived from them.

While the majority of our collection was already vegan, we committed ourselves to replace a few animal byproducts in select formulations, pledging to become 100% vegan by 2020. Leveraging our passion for innovation and ingredient technology, we got to work on creating cutting-edge vegan replacements.

By December 2020, we successfully reformulated our remaining products to be fully vegan and are celebrating this milestone with the launch of Confession™ Red 0. Our biggest innovation to date, Red 0 is a 100% vegan red lipstick formulated with our patent-pending replacement for carmine—the industry’s standard red pigment produced from crushed female insects. Red 0 symbolizes our commitment to animal welfare and marks a new chapter in our ongoing commitment to cruelty-free beauty.

Jason Wu Beauty was created out of my creativity and love for beauty. It was meant to make everyone feel gorgeous in their own skin, eliminate the need to mask yourself in so much product, and reject the exclusivity of upscale businesses. As an extension of my couture fashion brand, I wanted this collection to be feminine, elegant, and luxurious, but accessible and affordable to anyone.

My brand’s goal is to let your natural beauty speak for itself while adding just a little extra charm. And we hope to bring this simplistic yet alluring beauty as a completely guilt free indulgence. With formulas free of harmful chemicals, JWB can help you achieve an enviable soft glam effect that’s natural but not ordinary, effortless but not careless, luxurious and influential but not excessive.

At MBX, we believe that beauty should be fun, high quality, extremely efficacious, and serious at the same time. 

We create unique brands that each have their own unique personalities and experiences that come along with it. 

And when it comes to each brand’s products, we’re always thinking of you first - no matter your gender, age, or where you live. We create products that are both easy and fun to use because, let’s be real, you deserve a better experience with your skincare and makeup routines. 

So how do we do it? We’ll let you in on a little secret, one that is rarely used in the beauty industry…we like to call it data. Yep, that’s right! Data is our secret sauce – it’s how we blend innovation, technology and analytics to create the next product, inspired by our community.

But data isn’t the only ingredient we need to make a memorable product. We won’t produce a new product unless it answers 3 important questions: 

Is it truly innovative? 

Is it accessible for beauty lovers around the globe? 

Will it delight you? 

While data & delight are at the forefront of our products, K-beauty & its latest technology are always at our roots. So you can expect us to continually bring you the highest performing products using the best, most efficacious ingredients.

I love makeup, you love makeup, I'm glad we've embarked on this colorful journey together. Here's something you may or may not know about me:

I am a Halloween Queen! The first time I dressed in drag was in fact on Halloween day. I was 25 years old and did my first beat with drugstore makeup (the horror). I actually ended up getting booked for a show that same night! Call it destiny or coincidence, but you can't make this stuff up!

That night I found my passion, I realized drag was the medium where I could mold my love and knowledge of art, painting, fashion and photography into one vessel. 

I believe your face is a canvas to create art. Whether it's subtle or out of this world, makeup can elevate the way you feel about yourself. With the right mug, I feel invincible and confident!  

It's been an amazing journey of self-discovery. A journey that has led me here. It's been a dream of mine to introduce the world to fun products that won't break the bank. Whether your aesthetic is neutral or glittery colored rainbow, I've got something for you!


All of my hard work would go in vain if I did not add an element of gratitude as this is my passion. 


I have long been an advocate for the LGBTQ community and a huge fan of The Trevor Project. The Trevor Project is an American non-profit organization focused on suicide prevention efforts among LGBTQ youth. Through a toll-free telephone number, it operates The Trevor Lifeline, a confidential service that offers trained counselors. 


KimChi Chic Beauty has partnered with The Trevor Project to aid their efforts by committing to donating a portion of our sales. Together we are excited to explore how we can work together in their mission to end suicide for LGBTQ youth.  


So come inside, take a seat and enjoy the ride on my rainbow colored labor of love, #Kimchichicbeauty.

Founded in 2012 when Lora Arellano and Dana Bomar identified that highly pigmented, ultra-matte, bold shades of lipstick were missing from the cosmetics world; Melt Cosmetics set out to fill that void. The duo took their combined decade of experience in the makeup industry and working in retail, and invested their life savings to create 5 shades that sold out the minute they launched online in May of 2013.

Lora and Danas marketing instinct, and unique industry perspective allowed Melt Cosmetics to quickly bridge the gap between social media centric and professionally acclaimed make up brands, setting the bar for the independent brands that followed. In the fast paced world of makeup, Melt Cosmetics is one of the biggest independent brands in existence.

Today Melt is more than a cosmetics brand, it embodies the freedom of expression through makeup, while empowering its cult following to be unapologetically themselves – just like its co-founders.

The story of Melt is not just another story about two young women who created a business that quickly outgrew their homes. It is about being unafraid to take the risks involved in pursuing your dreams, and the willingness to put customers at the center of it all.

From highly pigmented lipsticks, to innovative eye shadow stacks, and highlighters, Melt’s razor sharp focus on creating cutting edge products that are missing from the market continues to push the boundaries of what quality cosmetics should be.

OUR STORY

There was a time in the ‘90s when darkness was all the rage and pink had a bad rep. Enter Jerrod Blandino and Jeremy Johnson. Unimpressed and distressed by the too-serious-state of the cosmetics industry, they longed to start a company that brought back unapologetic glamour and femininity. Inspired by a love of Paris, unabashed girliness and the transformative power of cosmetics, they created Too Faced, a boutique brand with big dreams. Today, Too Faced has grown into a leader within the beauty industry, creating innovative cruelty-free cosmetics that women love to wear.

With Jeremy as CEO/Action Man and Jerrod as Chief Creative Officer/Dreamer, their rebellious spirit, visionary focus and unexpected humor define the brand to this day.


ABOUT THE FOUNDERS

Too Faced Co-Founders, Jerrod Blandino and Jeremy Johnson, got their start behind the department store makeup counter. Jerrod worked at the Estée Lauder counter and Jeremy also spent time at Estee Lauder, as well as Armani and Chanel. Working one-on-one with clients allowed both of them to quickly discover the transformative power makeup had on women. Their vision was to create a makeup line that would celebrate individuality and inject joy back into an industry that had become rigidly led by rules, not fun. With a credit card, a laser-like focus, and a dream to celebrate and empower women, Too Faced was born in 1998.

Today, Jeremy is still initiating new business strategies while Jerrod is continuously inspired to create innovative new products. Too Faced is sold in more than 30 countries and is one of the top-selling brands everywhere it is sold.

Tower 28 Beauty is named after a lifeguard tower in Santa Monica
Tower 28 is the place where two iconic LA worlds come together. It sits at the crossroads of the Santa Monica pier and gritty Venice Beach. A meeting place for locals, Tower 28 symbolizes everything we believe in - community, healthy fun, and clean living.

 

At Tower 28 Beauty, we like our beauty products the way we like our beaches: clean, full of sunshine, and for everyone.

Hi! I'm Amy
I've had sensitive skin my entire adult life. Sensitive skin can take so many forms, but for me it means eczema. After 15+ years working as a beauty executive, I was frustrated that my sensitive, problem skin meant I was limited to serious brands that felt clinical (like someone in a lab coat was selling to me!)

 

If you have sensitive skin, you've heard the terms: hypo-allergenic, fragrance-free, dermatologist-tested. It's a start but that doesn't mean the product is good for you! At Tower 28, we know that what goes on your skin also goes in your bloodstream. We also know that beauty doesn't have to be so serious, which is why our products are non-toxic, free of sensitizing irritants, full of calming, nourishing ingredients, plus a healthy dose of FUN. Not to mention vegan + cruelty-free. Proving #ItsOkayToBeSensitive.

WHAT IS YOUTHFORIA?

Youthforia is universal. It’s the moments of utter bliss you get when you're young. Your first lip gloss. The cute text and the screenshot sent straight to the group chat. The waiting, the rush. Crushes, summer break, long chats that last till 3 a.m. Getting the giggles with your best mate, hungover af, waiting for microwave mac and cheese. The lights going down before your favorite band starts playing. Being completely in it, and taking it all in. Like if confetti was a feeling. That’s how how we want to make you feel with every product, every time. ✨

LOOKS GOOD, FEELS GOOD, DOES GOOD:

We’re big on having fun but we’re serious about the environment. 🌎

The beauty industry loves fossil fuels (which makes sense because liquid plastic feels nice), but that doesn’t really work with our whole “wanting a future” thing. That's why all of our ingredients, including synthetics, are plant-based. This means we don't have to compromise on quality or textures.

We make our products biobased — each with at least 90% renewable ingredients (instead of fossil fuels) and our products are certified by the USDA BioPreferred Program.

We follow Green Chemistry principles (Google it, it’s super interesting!), which basically means doing what we can to make Youthforia environmentally-friendly and reduce the amount of gross, dangerous toxins we put on our face and wash down the drain (FYI, if you use 15 non-biobased products a day, that’s around 300-500 chemicals made from fossil fuels now on their way to finding Nemo). 

Caring about and being kind to the planet is cool and important and so is using safe stuff on your skin.
