Are your products recyclable/is your company green?

We are working on ensuring that 90% of our packaging is recyclable by 2025. Much of our packaging is already paper based so it's biodegradable. Our product packaging is also designed to be collectible in nature and therefore kept & displayed instead of thrown away after use.

Where are your products manufactured?

Our products are manufactured in China. All formulations & packaging designs are our own and we only work with factories that meet rigorous human rights, ethics, cruelty free & vegan standards.

I saw your product on ____ Site. Are those products legit? Do you know about this?

We sell wholesale to over 150 Independent stores around the world and also on www.hottopic.com and www.amazon.com We try to maintain a fairly current list here.

If you want to see our products in your local stores, ask them to find us on Faire or click the Wholesale link at the bottom of our site.

Do you sell at Conventions?

We love exhibiting at conventions!

See our list of upcoming events.

We were also the first makeup brand ever allowed on the show floor at San Diego Comic Con in 2022.

Where do you get the artwork for your products?

All of our product artwork is either Officially Licensed through the original IP owners, commissioned, public domain or original artwork. We believe artists always deserve to get paid top dollar for the work they do and we do not use AI. We also strive to partner with companies that share our values when it comes to ai. See HASBRO's & D&D's statement here. Batty Goth is our lead designer, see more of her work here.

What does "Officially Licensed Product" Mean?

When we want to use a licensed character or property, we pay a fee to the licensor - which can be pretty steep. And it's not just a one-time payment; we also give up a percentage of our profits, usually around 10%. On top of that, we cover all production, marketing, and shipping costs ourselves. And before we can start, we need the licensing company's approval. That means we're investing a lot of time and money into the product, with no guarantee of success. Every step of the process and every portion of information we put out requires a separate approval. This is why it takes time to update product images and swatches, make announcements etc. This is all worth it because we get to create unique products made by and for the fandoms we love!

We're not just passionate about what we do - we're also bringing unique products to the table that you won't find anywhere else. By supporting us, you're supporting creativity and innovation. Next time you see a licensed product, remember that we're taking a big risk to bring it to you. Let's support small businesses and keep the creativity flowing!

Who runs this site/company?

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 Vampyre Cosmetics LLC & Phoenix Rising Cosmetics LLC CEO. 

Batty Goth is our lead designer/product developer.

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.

Evestar is our women owned and run Paid Social Media Advertising Team.

We contract with a number of women owned PR companies for 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.

We've moved all the data over for customer accounts, collabs and rewards but we might have to manually re-sync things sometimes or send you a new link to login. All orders have been moved over but some of your previous order links won't work. If you have any issues or questions about accessing your accounts/orders/rewards etc, please email cat@vampyrecosmetics.com and we will make sure you're taken care of.

Are some of your product pictures mockups?

As a small indie company, we're eager to share full product images, but our partners need to approve each production phase. Teaser images allow us to incorporate your feedback for enhancements, making you a part of the creative process! We update our website and marketing as soon as partners approve final images. Think of it like a movie trailer - we're offering a sneak peek while the final product is being fine-tuned. Your patience will be rewarded with amazing products! In the meantime we recommend checking out our website to see what our physical products look like from our other lines!
