How and why did you start Lime Crime?

In 2008, when Lime Crime was born, the world of makeup was pretty bland. Not a lot of fun colors and barely any payoff. After struggling to find a purple lipstick for one of my tutorials, I’ve decided to create my own line that spoke to Unicorn girls like me.

Lime Crime means ‘color revolution’. (Green is my all-time favorite color.)

You are known as the Queen of Color! How does that translate into your brand/products, Lime Crime?

To me, color is very emotional. I see it everywhere! Sometimes an entire product is born as a result of me seeing a color. The original Venus eyeshadow palette was inspired by a girl I saw with unusual reddish-brown (naturally) eyelids.

What are some must-have products from your line for those customers who are new to the brand?

I recommend trying Plushies (sheer long-wearing lip veil) and all the Venus eyeshadow palettes – we have several, and each creates a unique eye look that’s easy to put together and wear.

What is your favorite part about the beauty industry?

I see it as an opportunity for female empowerment, entrepreneurship, and blazing the trail.
