W3LL PEOPLE is a mid range makeup brand from the United States, founded in 2008 by Shirley Pinkson, Dr. Renée Snyder & James Walker. It's best known for its Expressionist Mascara, Bio Tint Multi-Action Tinted Moisturizer and Plant-based, clean, vegan formulas.

W3LL PEOPLE was founded in 2008 in Austin by makeup artist Shirley Pinkson, dermatologist Dr. Renée Snyder, and brand-builder James Walker, as one of the original clean-beauty pioneers. The trio set out to prove that plant-based, low-tox formulas could perform as well as conventional makeup — landing first at Fred Segal before being picked up by Target, which made the brand a mass-accessible clean option years before clean beauty went mainstream.

The brand is best known for its Expressionist Mascara, a perennial 'best clean mascara' winner, alongside the Bio Tint Multi-Action Tinted Moisturizer and Bio Bronzer Stick. Acquired by e.l.f. Beauty in 2020, W3LL PEOPLE pairs clean, vegan, plant-based formulas with affordable, Target-friendly price points that make it a frequent stand-in for pricier clean-beauty names.
