Ep 186 Tower 28 Founder Amy Liu on How She Built The Hottest Makeup Brand of The Year (& What She’s Launching Next!)

August 18, 2021


Amy Liu is the founder of Tower 28 Beauty – named after the Tower 28 lifeguard tower at the crossroads of the Santa Monica pier and Venice Beach. Based on its rad aesthetic – sunset-esque cream blushes, bronzers and lip glosses tucked into clear acrylic packaging – you’d never guess that it’s the only make-up brand to follow the U.S National Eczema Association’s guidelines, which means their makeup contains zero potentially irritating ingredients for sensitive skin. What’s more, none of Tower 28’s vegan and cruelty-free products cost a penny over $28.
