Houppette carries cosmetics in a range of shades and textures to suit every woman’s skin and unique style:
Laura Mercier
Laura Mercier created her line of cosmetics in 1996, focusing on a “classic and always-current palette” of colors to complement the modern woman’s cosmetic needs and sophisticated tastes. Now in its 15th year, The Laura Mercier brand has grown to include a variety of fabulous, critically-acclaimed products–most notably her Tinted Moisturizers and Secret Camouflage concealers–and continues to garner accolades across the beauty industry.
Hourglass
“Hourglass Cosmetics is synonymous with cutting-edge formulations, advanced ingredients and luminous makeup products that help defy gravity. The prestige cosmetics collection doesn’t merely pamper—it performs to minimize the visible signs of aging and maximize each woman’s individual beauty. The Venice, CA-based makeup brand was founded in 2004 by Carisa Janes, one of the earliest pioneers of fusing skincare technology with high-quality makeup. Janes, hailed as ‘the world’s youngest beauty-biz veteran’ by Glamour magazine, is also resolute that Hourglass products are developed without the use of parabens, overpowering fragrances or animal-testing.”
La Bella Donna
“Co-founded by mother-daughter team Kathy and Nicole Tracy, La Bella Donna is a revolutionary, pioneering concept in cosmetics: Minerals that behave like makeup. It is a complete collection of mineral-based formulas that are actually healthy for the skin. A natural SPF 20 and water-resistant, La Bella Donna’s minerals contain only pure minerals from rock that give benefits to the skin that you cannot get from any other products.”
Philosophy
Philosophy’s, well, philosophy, on color cosmetics starts with you: “Believe you are beautiful.” These cosmetics seek to capture the beauty of great looking skin with “glorious color and skin-loving technologies,” seeking to “reveal your skin, rather than conceal it.” Philosophy’s unique formulas simultaneously “improve your complexion while offering buildable color to customize your look.”
Haughty Lip Gloss
For as long as Haughty Cosmetics founder Michelle can remember, she’s been a self-professed “makeup junkie.” Her favorite part of experimenting with makeup? Helping women discover the many aspects of themselves and feel beautiful, whether they are giving a big presentation or meeting the girls for dinner. Not only do Haughty glosses soothe and hydrate while looking super cute (and sometimes sassy), but they benefit a very worthy cause: 50% of the net profits from the sale of Haughty Cosmetics go toward domestic violence prevention and education. Beauty and brains? Michelle’s Haughty glosses truly have it all!
