LAURA'S STORY

Canadian born and raised, our founder and owner, Laura, has dedicated 27 years to the makeup industry. As an acclaimed and published makeup artist, she has traveled extensively, contributing to a wide array of projects.
Laura's experience spans everything from destination wedding looks to fashion events, both domestically and internationally. Early in her career, she began to focus more on the quality of production and manufacturing of the products she used. This curiosity led her to question the origins and safety of various brands.
A turning point came when her daughter reached for one of Laura’s lipsticks and suffered an almost immediate reaction, necessitating several hours in the emergency room. This incident prompted Laura to take a stand against cosmetic brands that she couldn't trust, insisting that products be locally produced with clearly labeled ingredients.
Thus, “Makeup Addict” was born. Laura meticulously tested many of formulas to create a high-quality line that she and her clients adore. She ensured these formulas are non-comedogenic, allergy-free, vegan, and free from gluten and sulfates, suitable for all skin types.
Moreover, all products are proudly made and manufactured in Canada.
Laura remains committed to her original mission of ensuring that all Makeup Addict products are manufactured and sourced locally, providing sustainable wages.
Laura’s goals with Makeup Addict is to support local organizations, such as:
Creating Alternatives
The Pursed Project York Region
Aura Freedom International
Kids Help Phone
And all of those who are being affected by the current hardships that our world is facing.
