MAKE Beauty

Mid-Range

Artistry-driven multifunctional makeup, reborn.

United States·Founded 2013·by Ariana Mouyiaris (relaunched under Ben Bennett / The Center, creative lead Carrie Barber)

MAKE Beauty began in 2013 as a New York artistry brand often described as a Glossier predecessor, then was acquired by Ben Bennett's incubator The Center and relaunched in 2021 with Carrie Barber (formerly of Violet Grey and Sephora) shaping its creative direction. The revival centers on dewy, multifunctional cream products and an editorial, clean-girl-adjacent aesthetic that drew renewed editor attention across 2024 and 2025.

The brand's Skin Mimetic Concealer was named among the best makeup products of 2025, joining hero items like the Heat Stroke Cream Stick Blush and Serum Balm Intense lip treatment. MAKE sells primarily direct-to-consumer and is positioned as an under-the-radar artistry label for shoppers who want watercolor-soft, skin-like finishes rather than full-coverage glam.
