Creative Director
The Brand
Nudestix is a global fast growing, entrepreneurial color cosmetics brand founded by beauty veteran Jenny Frankel and her two daughters, Taylor and Ally Frankel. Nudestix offers a collection of easy-to-apply, no fuss multipurpose Stix in nude shades. The brand’s motto “go nude but better” emphasizes the “less is more” philosophy of using makeup to enhance one’s unique beauty rather than covering it up.
At Nudestix, we believe in a natural look is a perfect fit for any face. We’re all born with our own unique look, so why cover it up with tons of makeup? A touch of color here and there is enough to bring out our finest features, so out with the crazy big collection and in with our minimalist makeup Stix for face, eyes and lips. In 2020, Nudestix launched Nudeskin; clean, simple, vegan powered skincare for nude-faced confidence.
