Packed with powerful pigments + skincare ingredients, this collection allows you to play, while ur skin can chill. But “rules”? We’re not about those, so we leave the creative freedom up to you. So, come as ur messy, authentic, beautiful self (or whatever vibe ur feeling today) because skin is skin + makeup is for everyone. Let’s show the world what u got.
