Retail Makeup Artist (full-time) - Selfridges, Oxford Street

Our background and your main purpose…

Sculpted by Aimee Cosmetics is an Irish makeup brand founded in late 2016 by makeup artist Aimee Connolly. After years of experience working within the industry Aimee was passionate about creating products she felt were missing from the market, all in line with her ethos of making makeup easier.

When Aimee started Sculpted, she wanted to do things differently and make makeup with a clean conscience. So, she is proud to say their products are cruelty-free and always have been. They are also 100% vegan and now Leaping Bunny approved which is the international gold standard for cruelty free consumer products.

Seven years later, Sculpted by Aimee has become one of Ireland’s top makeup brands, trusted to provide cruelty-free coverage that complements every look. The brand has grown phenomenally during its initial years and has launched 150+ SKUs to date. Now in its seventh year Sculpted by Aimee continues to expand into new markets and new retail units.
