Why this exists

I built this brand for the people the beauty industry forgot to include.

I’ve lived with 99% hearing loss and epilepsy my whole life. I know what it feels like to be left out of the story beauty tells. Every shade I make is named for someone the beauty industry has never designed for. Someone who deserves to be seen, counted, and taken seriously.

The stories are theirs. The colors are for everyone.

hands to crown
$26.00

Inspired by people living with alopecia.

Symbolism: The eyeshadow name lives in a single gesture. In ballet, the arms rise to fifth position en haut: rounded above the head, forming what dancers call the crown. It is the position of arrival, of being lifted, of reaching the highest point and holding it there with grace.

For someone living with alopecia, the crown is the most tender place where fingers go to check, to touch, to know yourself. The same hands that reach in ballet reach to this place, and the gesture becomes both comfort and reckoning.

Hands to Crown is the moment that reaches toward triumph. It insists that the place you once learned to hide can become the place you carry highest. The warm peachy-pink itself is the color of skin and dawn. Not a shade that draws the eye to what's missing, but one that warms the whole face. It says the crown was never the hair. It was always the head beneath it, held high.

Color tone: A warm peachy-pink satin with a soft golden glow.

Net weight: 0.052 oz / 1.5 g

Hands to Crown

A warm peachy-pink satin with a soft golden glow. Inspired by people living with alopecia. Designed for the busy days you want to feel gently, quietly beautiful.

radiant 21st
$26.00

Inspired by people living with Down syndrome.

Symbolism: This warm sunset gold invites a pause. As the sky slows and colors deepen, simple moments feel important. This beautiful shade echoes the warmth, joy, and connection many people with Down syndrome bring to a room. Down syndrome is caused by a full or partial extra copy of chromosome 21, and it can shape how a person learns, speaks, and moves. None of that dims the glow. This shade is for the steady presence people bring into a room, on their own terms.

Color tone: Ultra-warm gold with vibrant yellow undertones and a subtle green-to-gold duochrome shift, visible gold flakes.

Net weight: 0.052 oz / 1.5 g

Ingredients: Mica, Isododecane, Dimethicone, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (Coconut Oil), Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides, Tin Oxide (CI 77861), Silica, Magnesium Myristate, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Hexylene Glycol.

$26.00

Inspired by people living with hearing challenges.

Symbolism: This shade celebrates the sleek, modern design of contemporary hearing technology and shows that assistive devices can be both stylish and functional. Its metallic silver reflects the innovations that help people with hearing challenges move through the world with confidence. When hearing is limited, the eyes step in. Many people follow conversations by watching how lips move. This shade honors that natural shift from one sense to another, and pays tribute to both the technology and the people who use it.

Color tone: Pale silver satin-metallic eyeshadow with a cool blue undertone.

Net weight: 0.052 oz / 1.5 g

Ingredients: Mica, Isododecane, Aluminum Powder (CI 77000), Dimethicone, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Silica, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (Coconut Oil), Magnesium Myristate, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Hexylene Glycol.

03 the minimalist (for inner corner pops) Eva's pick

Read my Lips

Pale silver satin-metallic eyeshadow with a cool blue undertone. Inspired by people living with hearing challenges. Designed for the moments when you nod confidently and hope nobody asked a follow-up question.

breathtaking glow
$26.00

Inspired by people living with asthma.

Symbolism: This soft pastel blue evokes a clear sky and the air we breathe, sometimes easy and sometimes something we have to chase. For many people with asthma, breath shapes the day: checking the weather and air quality, keeping an inhaler within reach, taking the stairs a little slower. Some days flow, others need care, and the relief after a couple of puffs can feel like the sky opening. Its lilac and aqua shimmer marks those bright moments of ease and support. This shade is a gentle reminder to breathe in, breathe out, make space, and move at your own pace.

Color tone: A blue metallic eyeshadow infused with a green hue and a soft gold shimmer.

Net weight: 0.052 oz / 1.5 g

Ingredients: Mica, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Chromium Oxide Greens (CI 77288), Isododecane, Dimethicone, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (Coconut Oil), Magnesium Myristate, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Hexylene Glycol.

04 the color lover (for creating bold looks)

Breathtaking Glow

A blue metallic eyeshadow infused with a green hue and a soft gold shimmer. Inspired by people living with asthma. Designed for the moments that take your breath away.

restless espresso
$26.00

Inspired by people living with ADHD.

Symbolism: Much like the rich, layered taste of espresso, this brown shade represents the depth and intensity of inner emotional experiences, and often hidden complexities of ADHD. Just as pale green coffee beans must journey through many stages to become deep aromatic brown: careful roasting, patient grinding, steady pressure and precise timing, ADHD moves through a similar process: Attention shifts quickly, bursts of focus ignite unexpectedly, and the mind rarely rests, like coffee beans tumbling in the roaster. With support and routine, that restless energy can find its path, and become something strong, balanced and alive.

Color tone: Rich bronze-brown with warm undertones and a smooth metallic finish.

Net weight: 0.052 oz / 1.5 g

Ingredients: Mica, Iron Oxides, Isododecane, Dimethicone, Magnesium Myristate, Silica, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (Coconut Oil), Boron Nitride, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Hexylene Glycol.

Disclaimer: Vegan and cruelty-free formula. This product is intended for external use only. Please perform a patch test before use.

  • If you experience any irritation or sensitivity, especially around the eyes, discontinue use immediately.

  • Keep out of reach of children.

  • Do not ingest.

(oh, and if you’re wondering, yes, it’s caffeine-free)

05 the perfectionist (for stunning smokey eye)

Restless Espresso

Rich bronze-brown with warm undertones and a smooth metallic finish. Inspired by people living with ADHD. Designed for the moments when your mind has twenty tabs open and somehow still finds magic.

unpredictable brush
$26.00

Inspired by people living with epilepsy.

Symbolism: Epilepsy is like a scoop of lavender ice cream melting in the summer heat. At first, it's cool and soothing, much like the peaceful moments between seizures. But just as heat can make it melt without warning, epilepsy can turn tranquility into sudden moments of chaos. The gold sparkles in this eyeshadow catch those unpredictable moments and show how seizures can interrupt stability. When it happens, the kindest thing is simple: make room, stay near, time it, turn them gently onto their side, and let it pass in its own time.

Color tone: Cool silvery-lavender with subtle pink shift and fine gold micro-sparkles.

Net weight: 0.052 oz / 1.5 g

Ingredients: Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Isododecane, Mica, Aluminum Powder (CI 77000), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Dimethicone, Silica, Ultramarines (CI 77007), Tin Oxide (CI 77861), Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (Coconut Oil), Magnesium Myristate, Iron Oxides, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Hexylene Glycol.

Disclaimer: Vegan and cruelty-free formula. This product is intended for external use only. Please perform a patch test before use.

  • If you experience any irritation or sensitivity, especially around the eyes, discontinue use immediately.

  • Keep out of reach of children.

  • Do not ingest.

06 the romance lover (for everyday wear)

Unpredictable Brush

Cool silvery-lavender with subtle pink shift and fine gold micro-sparkles. Inspired by people living with epilepsy. Designed for the moments when making plans feels brave enough on its own.

resilient motion
$26.00

Inspired by people living with mobility challenges.

Symbolism: This cool mint green reminds you of frosty grass that shimmers and bends in the wind. It captures the peaceful beauty of nature while acknowledging the challenge of spaces not always designed with accessibility in mind. As ice underfoot asks you to slow down and choose each step, many people with mobility challenges move in their own way: the smooth glide of a wheelchair, the steady rhythm of a walker, or unhurried steps on a busy day. This color honors setting your own pace and invites others to offer room and time.

Color tone: A pale mint-silver metallic eyeshadow with an icy sheen and crystal-like shimmer.

Net weight: 0.052 oz / 1.5 g

Ingredients: Mica, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Aluminum Powder (CI 77000), Silica, Tin Oxide (CI 77861), Isododecane, Dimethicone, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (Coconut Oil), Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Hexylene Glycol.
