Tarte is a popular makeup brand known for integrating ‘high-performance naturals’ within their products. The company also offers a skincare line to prep your face before using their products.
It’s no surprise that Tarte was established on the love of makeup. Founder Maureen Kelly grew up playing with makeup. She loved getting lipsticks as presents during the holidays and experimented with creating her own cosmetic concoctions at the age of six. Fast forward to 1999 in her New York apartment where Kelly decided to ditch her career in psychology to create Tarte, striving to stand out from other cosmetic brands by using safe ingredients devoid of harsh chemicals and preservatives. Only integrating all-natural substances into her makeup line, Kelly launched Tarte in 2000.
Today, Tarte is one of the most successful makeup brands out there. This million-dollar company has reached the likes of thousands of customers worldwide. It has since been bought by Kosé, a large multinational personal care company. Headquartered in the bustling streets of New York City, Tarte continues to be a giant within the beauty community.
