Beauty Creations
Budget“Own your beauty.”
Beauty Creations was founded in 2016 by Esmeralda Hernandez, a Latina entrepreneur who started selling makeup at Southern California swap meets before scaling the brand to over $60 million in annual sales without outside investment. The brand built its base in the Latin American beauty community and exploded into mainstream awareness when Urban Outfitters picked up the Sweet Dose Lip Oil and it became a top-five seller across the retailer's entire beauty department.
The brand's heart is affordable, pigment-rich, dupe-friendly color cosmetics — Flawless Stay Powder Foundation, Sweet Glaze Lip Gloss, and 35-shade eyeshadow palettes that consistently outperform their $6–$25 price point. Beauty Creations is sold at Walmart, Urban Outfitters, H-E-B, Forever 21, Aerie, and through over 1,000 SKUs in the brand's catalog. Hernandez's story — bootstrapped to eight-figure revenue as a first-generation Latina founder — has made the brand a case study in independent beauty entrepreneurship.
