About the Brand
About
Lemonhead LA’s designer glitter balms and pro glitter palettes have undeniably reshaped the beauty landscape, becoming a viral sensation on TikTok time and time again. Favored by celebrity makeup artists, these glitters have earned the title of "The Caviar of Glitter" from the industry's top beauty editors, thanks to their innovative, mess-free formulas. Known for simplifying creative makeup without sacrificing artistry, each product is meticulously handcrafted in the brand’s Los Angeles studio, reflecting an unwavering dedication to quality and innovation.
Founding Story
LEMONHEAD Los Angeles was created by makeup artist Megan Dugan, who sought high-impact, avant-garde makeup products to inspire creativity. When she couldn't find what she needed, she began blending good-for-skin ingredients with ultra-reflective glitter to create the first ultra-luxe glitter balms. These innovative glitters were gentle, mess-free, long-lasting, and easy to use, quickly gaining recognition among other makeup artists.
LEMONHEAD LA soon developed a cult following, with A-listers like Beyoncé, Margot Robbie, and Lady Gaga wearing LHLA glitter. Featured in top beauty publications like Allure and Harper's Bazaar, LHLA glitter also made waves on "Euphoria," including Zendaya's iconic lavender glitter tears.
In 2019, LHLA collaborated with Lady Gaga's beauty brand, Haus Laboratories, showcasing Melrosé Spacejam and Silverlake Spacepaste in their holiday collection. Despite the buzz, LHLA remains true to its roots, handcrafting products in small batches in Los Angeles. Whether you're a professional makeup artist or a beauty enthusiast, LEMONHEAD LA is here to spark your creativity. Open the glitter and let the magic happen.
