Betcha Didn’t Know These Makeup Brands Are Still In Business

It’s been wild west in the beauty world lately and we lost a lot of amazing brands in the last few years. Becca, Clarisonic, Bite Beauty, Makeup Geek, and so many more are long gone. Whether it was from the pandemic, supply issues due to the pandemic, or just because these brands weren’t selling as well as they once did it’s still sad thinking of them being gone forever.

Oddly, some of these are brands I’d never imagine would be gone. Like Clarisonic, it seemed like such a stable in everyone’s beauty routine! I never thought they’d be one to go under and I do think it came as a surprise then they suddenly said, “kbyethanks!” But here we are and we are no longer scrubbing our faces clean with a rotating brush.

What’s even more mysterious is how some brands that you’d never imagine would still be around are in fact still very much afloat. Here’s three you might have have thought about for a very long time which are still very much around!

Amazing CosmeticsWho remembers when we were all enamored with Amazing Cosmetics Concealer? This was pre-Tarte Shape Tape and we had never seen such a pigmented concealer ever. Looking back, it wasn’t very pigmented but at the time it seemed ground breaking. Well, if you loved the concealer I can put your heart at ease and tell you that it is still very much around and available!

Can I tell you the chokehold that Lip Venom had on me in the early 2000s? Every time they released some new version I was purchasing it right away! Remember the blood red Twilight one they did? Or how about the Pirates of the Caribbean collaboration?

Lola Cosmetics
Can we just for one second marvel that Lola Cosmetics is still in business? It really was one of the cuter brands back in the day! I remember loving the Sweetheart Powder! It was so adorable. Remember the foundation jar (see below)?
