KISS is a budget makeup brand from the United States, founded in 1989 by John Y. Chang. It's best known for its imPRESS press-on nails, FALSCARA DIY underlash system and Lash Couture false lashes.

KISS was founded in 1989 by John Y. Chang in Flushing, New York — originally as a small startup called Dae Do making artificial nails — with the goal of making salon results accessible at home. Its press-on nails helped turn the at-home manicure into a mainstream habit, and by the early 1990s KISS products were in drugstores nationwide.

Today KISS Products is the world's largest manufacturer of salon-quality nails and lashes, spanning sub-brands like imPRESS press-on nails, FALSCARA (a DIY underlash system) and Lash Couture false lashes, plus brow tools and hair products. With hundreds of low-priced items sold every minute across more than 100 countries, KISS is a core drugstore reference point for affordable lashes and nails — and a frequent stand-in when shoppers want a cheaper take on premium lash systems.
