OUR STORY
The beauty industry is full of beautiful products, but we're here to curate only the highest performing, effective, and exciting products that truly deliver!
We were founded nearly 20 years ago by professional makeup artist Mary Erickson. Mary had the vision and entrepreneurial courage to create a new type of professional makeup store where artists could find the products they need and experiment with them without the typical makeup store experience.
Today, we are proud to uphold our founder’s vision: to serve the professional makeup artist with products to elevate their artistry and to be a source of inspiration and education for aspiring artists and makeup lovers across the globe.

WE BELIEVE IN
Inclusivity – We believe diversity colors our world and is what makes it beautiful. We offer products, support brands, and take actions that embrace inclusivity for people of all colors, cultures, and passions.

Getting Better Everyday – A growth mindset begins with a commitment to improvement. We believe that if we strive to be just a little bit better today than we were yesterday, then we’ve been successful.
Adaptability – The world of beauty and commerce is ever-changing and dynamic. We believe that having the courage and dedication to adapting and lead change is essential to meeting our company’s purpose.
