About Me





Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics started out in November of 2004 with just two lip balms, cult-favorites Tarred and Feathered . Ultra-sheer black and white tones respectively, designed to either darken and define or lighten and prime, created in response to a uber-natural trend in beauty, when even the most neutral of lipsticks was considered too much color.
Following the launch, it became clear that the premise was simple: develop a complete line of professional quality cosmetics inspired by professional makeup solutions, not only for artists but for makeup enthusiasts everywhere. To set the brand apart in an already over-crowded marketplace meant committing to innovation in both colour and texture, as well as concept and selection. What this means to the consumer: A refreshing, gimmickless approach. No false claims, no empty promises, just great makeup.
OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE COSMETICS is the line for those who colour outside of theirs. For when you're over the counter.
