MAKE Beauty: Looking Forward With Owner and Creative Director Carrie Barber

Carrie Barber has collaborated with some of the most influential beauty brands on the planet, including Glossier, Sephora, and VIOLET GREY. In 2013, Carrie and her partner took a bold leap by acquiring and relaunching MAKE Beauty. Carrie continues to evolve MAKE, pushing the brand forward into the next chapter of beauty. For her, this means making sustainability the standard, using cleaner and more effective ingredients, incorporating technology into formulations and the digital experience, and experimenting with pigment again. Today, MAKE offers a collection of utilitarian personal care essentials designed to seamlessly integrate into your daily routine. 

In this episode, Carrie also discusses:

• How her involvement with MAKE started with a DM
• Reformulating the products to keep the ethos of the brand while embracing the new
• Marketing makeup and skincare as a digital only brand
• How to grab attention with branding and packaging
• Partnering with biotech labs
• The importance of supporting makeup artists and community
