Aren’t you tired of hearing “that color doesn’t look good on you” or thinking to yourself “that color is too bold, I can’t wear it”?
Well here is a lipstick brand that takes all the bad views you hear and perceive of yourself out of the window! Uber pigmented, gluten and paraben free, vegan, bold and daring. The Lip Bar is for women who want to creatively express themselves! "Beauty isn't one size fits all when it comes to how confident you feel." - Butler
Melissa Butler, the mixologist and a Detroit native, decided to make a change in the lipstick industry and so she created The Lip Bar in 2011. She built her own company that challenges the beauty standard. Butler had a vision and passion for the cosmetic industry, therefore triggering the idea to create a lipstick blend of natural ingredients including Vitamins A, E, C and F, Shea butter and avocado oil. This company is branded for all shades of women not only to wear a bold color but to also have a healthy experience. "Beauty should never compromise health" says Butler.
The Lip Bar is “designed to moisturize, soften and amplify lips all while setting you apart with intoxicatingly bold, kick-ass colors” according to thelipbar.com. The ladies Melissa Butler and Rosco Spears were doing well on the sales front, but decided to expand their business by seeking further investments from the hit reality TV show "Shark Tank". Rudely rejected by all of the Shark investors on the show, the company still flourishes, turning their rejection into a $400K brand.
