MEET THE MAKER | JESS

I daydream about color & sparkles, & am easily distracted by shiny things.

I’ve always had a passion for art in all its forms & have a background in painting, graphic design, web development, & art history.

When I discovered the world of indie cosmetics I got hooked. I was so inspired to make my own creations, mixing & matching colors to create unique nail polish & eyeshadows.

I started making my own polishes & eyeshadows in 2023. In the summer of 2024, I knew I wanted to turn my hobby into a small business. Thus, in September 2024 I launched Fauve Cosmetics. Fauvism is my favorite art movement & got inspiration to name the brand & aesthetics based on it.

For now, I operate Fauve on mostly nights & weekends while juggling my 9-5 corporate job, mommy & family duties, all while dreaming for success to make this my full time job in the future 🤞🤞 Let’s just say its been lots of sleepless nights & the laundry is stacking up 😖 but I’ve never felt so creative & fulfilled with my work.

I’m a one-woman shop handling it all. From product creation, design, marketing, shipping/fulfillment, web development, & so much more. There’s been so much support in the nail polish community with amazing content creators swatching & photographing my polishes to showcase on my site. 🫶

I hand mix polishes in small batches. I do pre-orders for most items to ensure less waste & be smart with the limited materials I have available on hand. I also don’t have a light hand with ingredients. I love extra flashy finishes so my formulas are vibrant & use lots of pigments/effects to stand out & bring joy.

Thank you all for the support & love 🥰
