HOW FAR WOULD your mammy go to see all your makeup fantasies come true?
Cashmere Nicole is the CEO of popular independent makeup brand, Beauty Bakerie.
Nicole founded Beauty Bakerie in 2011 with a mission to create a line of cruelty-free beauty products that will stand the test of time.
Having an artistic nature, Beauty Bakerie is an extension of prior passions that were fickle. This was the only thing I pursued relentlessly within the realm of arts; I loved it, couldn’t walk away from it, and I stayed committed.
I wanted to create a brand that contradicted the popular “bad girl” persona that the mainstream was pedaling – to show girls that there’s nothing wrong with upholding a sweet and friendly nature.”
Beauty Bakerie has been praised for the diverse shade range across all of their products.
The line’s liquid lipsticks, called Lip Whips are super popular – offering strong pigment and unrivaled lasting power.
Nicole has been open about how her teenage pregnancy impacted her life and her career.
She had her daughter when she was 16.
The 32-year-old became increasingly frustrated with the lack of shade options among bronzer and highlighter palettes for her daughter – so she decided to design her own.
On Twitter, the CEO said:
This is me with my daughter, Jasmyn. Different levels of melanin. Felt bad when I could find my shade at stores but not hers, when bronzers & highlighters gave me glow up but not her. So I created Coffee & Cocoa for my precious girl & others to enjoy!
This is the Coffee And Cocoa palette – created for those with darker complexions in mind.
Some ma for one ma.
Beauty Bakerie can be purchased from BeautyBay, Cult Beauty and Cocktail Cosmetics.
