about-face

Mid-Range

Make-u(p) without rules.

United States·Founded 2021·by Halsey (Ashley Frangipane)

about-face launched on January 25, 2021 as the brainchild of Grammy-nominated musician Halsey (Ashley Frangipane), built around the idea that makeup is for self-expression rather than fitting a beauty standard. The line debuted direct-to-consumer with light lock highlighter fluids, light lock sticks, matte fluid eye paints, and shadowsticks — multidimensional, lit-from-within products designed for layering across the face, eyes, lips, and body.

The brand is vegan, cruelty-free, and clean-formulated, with an exclusive retail partnership at Ulta Beauty. about-face's all-lowercase identity, gender-neutral marketing, and bold high-pigment formulas have made it a favorite among Gen Z consumers who want makeup that feels artistic rather than corrective.
