Maquillage with a Mission: Make in NYC - Remodelista
Make is not your average beauty brand. And the color spectrum comes from creatives like London interior designer Faye Toogood, NYC fashion designer Maryam Nassirzadeh, and photographer/filmmaker Erik Madigan Heck, who create not-for-the-faint-of-heart palettes (think: Poison Oak eyeshadow).
There’s a higher purpose as well: the line funnels a percentage of its sales into the company’s We See Beauty foundation...
...a nonprofit effort “dedicated to accelerating women-led, worker-owned cooperatives to drive large scale change.” Last summer, the foundation launched its inaugural effort, the Do Good Be Beautiful cooperative in Brooklyn, NY.
