Frustrated with the way women’s stories were narrated through a male’s perspective in beauty campaigns, filmmaker Lauren Young and Latinx investor Christina Kelmon decided to shift the tide. The co-founders created a luxury line of vegan lip products and pledged to donate a portion of profits to women in the arts to ensure their goal of authentic representation. The luxe, creamy lipsticks take inspo from silver screen sirens, films, and artists with names such as Light and Angles, Smoking on Screen, and Daring to Fly. Kelmon also founded the Latina-led beauty brand Vamigas at Nordstrom, with botanicals from Latin America.

Glamlite

9 Glamlite Cosmetics

For Gisselle Hernandez, launching a food-inspired makeup brand came from a desire to embrace who she was and create a space where everyone felt welcome, represented, and accepted. Growing up in Brooklyn, NY and eating pizza several times a week, Hernandez first drew inspiration from her favorite food to create the Pizza Palette, which went viral and sold out within 48 hours. With the brand’s “beauty isn’t a one size fits all” motto, makeup lovers and foodies can unite and share their love of tacos, burgers, and ice cream with dedicated eyeshadow palettes complete with 3D-motion packaging. Yum!
