Medusa's Makeup
Budget“Bold, cruelty-free color for heads that were made to turn.”

Medusa's Makeup is a budget makeup brand from the United States, founded in 1998. It's best known for its Vibrant shimmer pigments and glitter eyeshadows, Long-running indie alt-beauty heritage and Bold semi-permanent hair dyes.
Medusa's Makeup is a Chicago-based, female-founded indie brand with roots stretching back to Medusa's Circle, an alternative club-culture boutique that opened in 1992. The in-house cosmetics line launched in 1998 with a range of eye dust and glitters, moved online in the mid-2000s, and went fully direct-to-consumer in 2009 — giving it one of the longer histories in the indie alt-beauty world.
Today the brand is built around vibrant, high-impact color: loose shimmer pigments and glitter eyeshadows, liquid eyeliners, matte lipsticks and a bold semi-permanent hair-dye line. Cruelty-free and vegan, Medusa's Makeup sits comfortably alongside the indie names its fans already love, offering an affordable, made-for-drama alternative to pricier glitters and statement pigments for anyone chasing a look that turns heads.
