CharlotteTilbury, Mary Greenwell, Sam McKnight and Lisa Eldridge are just a few of the 17 famed beauty industry icons leading the charge for the latest campaign from the Beauty Backed Trust
Monday 17th July 2023
In a first-of-its-kind campaign, the Beauty Backed Trust has partnered with 17 of the most significant names in beauty to create a limited-edition print adorning a tote bag, a t-shirt and collectable prints, all in aid of fundraising to support the hair and beauty industry.
In collaboration with House of Neon, this fundraising project is in support of the Beauty Backed Trust, a charitable entity established to support the hair and beauty industry. Despite their determination and resilience, beauty businesses are still facing increasing hurdles due to high energy, staff and supplier costs. Caroline Hirons, industry veteran and founder of the Beauty Backed Trust, says,
“I have worked in and loved the beauty industry for more than 25 years, and I am honoured to work alongside so many amazing people. I set up Beauty Backed to ensure the beauty professionals who run incredible businesses’ that contribute billions to the UK economy and enable 1000s of people to feel their best, continues to be a well-funded and supported service provider.”
The dynamic ensemble of industry icons who collectively are behind the most memorable beauty moments in history, were each asked to create a small design, which were then collated into one impactful and highly covetable image. Caroline has a track record of generating unparalleled buzz and excitement. A previous Beauty Backed Trust collaboration with StriVectin, saw the campaign selling more than 1,200 units in just the first
24 -hours via her own site, and a further 1,200 units directly through StriVectin’s website. This latest collaboration with the industry’s most recognisable talent is sure to be just as much of a success.
Memorable pink plaits illustrated by Sam McKnight, frame a feast for all beauty lovers’’s eyes, inclusive of Charlotte Tilbury’s iconic magic star and Lisa Eldridge’s signature sketches. Danessa Myricks’ ‘dream big’ kiss and Trinny Woodall’s must-have stack, sit alongside Jamie Genevieve’s recognisable nude lip and Dija Ayodele’s lashy illustration. With many other beauty- inspired accents from Lisa Potter- Dixon, Marian Newman, Hannah Martin, Caroline Hirons, Adam Reed, and many more, make this a collaboration not to be missed.
Danessa Myricks, comments on her love for the beauty industry:
“The magic of beauty is its ability to globally unite hearts and minds, and connect dreams that align with infinite possibilities.”
On board for the collaboration is House of Neon, a family-run business with neon running through their veins, offering bright, funky, neon accessories, gifts, clothing and home decor. The brand launched in August 2017 selling in many independent boutiques and stores, and in 2022 they opened their own store in Gravesend, Kent.
The series of collectables will be retailed via the House of Neon website on Monday 17th July with profits going towards funding the Beauty Backed Trust Grant Programme.
