Too Faced
As a hot brand with exploding viral growth online, Too Faced cosmetics needed help to stabilize their ecommerce platform and absorb massive spikes in traffic. We partnered with Too Faced on ecommerce technology services, and helped them scale their online sales exponentially in a just a couple of years.
Cutting edge cosmetics brand with a growing roster of trendsetting products. In 1998, Too Faced Co-founder and Creative Director, Jerrod Blandino, was working behind the makeup counter. Bored with the limited selection of shades and textures available, Jerrod started to create his own products. Today, the brand inspires women to feel empowered through makeup and to own their dreams, their decisions and their pretty.

During the partnership, sales grew exponentially in just a couple of years.

The new online brand presence was also able to support viral growth, interest, and consumer email acquisition.
