We strive to be a “beauty disruptor”, renouncing social constructs of beauty and replacing them with individual ones. We don't Sell "Beauty", we believe beauty is in everyone. We merely provide tools for the expression of it. We believe no one should have to choose between unique, inspired packaging and high quality, ethical cosmetics, so we are committed to being all in one. Our officially licensed collections are a huge hit because they made by the fans for the fans.

Meet the Team

Who is behind the scenes here? The short answer is, a lot of people. We can't create cool makeup for the fans like we do without a lot of help. We are a family run business and support other family oriented women owned, queer & neurodivergent entrepreneurs whenever possible.


Rachel Clinesmith is the founder & C.E.O.


Batty Goth is our lead designer/product developer and also handles our Influencers/Collabs program.


Joseph Keens handles our quality control and oversees manufacturing.


Logan Boese handles a lot of our copy writing and in person sales at events.


Catherine Boese is our customer service manager.


3plg is our women owned and run shipping & fulfillment company out of New Jersey.


We also contract with a number of women owned marketing & PR companies for paid media advertising, press releases & media coverage.


We have a team that handles our retail support and training with over 23 years of experience on both the buyer and brand side. 


We also work with a number of other (mostly women owned businesses or contractors) that handle our finances, bookkeeping and legal needs.
