THE SMINK STORY
We are five passionate women from very different backgrounds who had a big dream together and the urge to do something everyday that we are passionate about and loved and aloud us to have free rein within our creative visions. In 2022 our SMINK journey began, we knew there was a big opportunity in the South African Make-up Industry for a local supplier of makeup kits and tools for Beauty Academies.
We started developing our own proudly South African colour cosmetic range which launched September 2023 at the Professional Beauty Expo.
We learned during this beautiful journey to trust each other and that the most important thing in running a successful business as a group of women, is passion.
If you’re passionate, you have the best chance of doing well. And if a group of women take hands you are stronger together and this resulted in a beautiful outcome for us, our SMINK Colour Cosmetic Range which are a reflection of our unique personalities combined with the different industry backgrounds woven beautifully together in a closed-knit team.
We heartily support local brands and businesses owned by women in South Africa and by supporting other women in business adds values, gives confidence and brings out the best in us.
It encourages us to always be Unique, Fresh and Authentic!
