Our Story

Your skin deserves natural ingredients, it just shouldn't be at the expense of achieving the look you love. Until now choosing natural  makeup meant tolerating poor performance. Clean makeup ingredients equaled weak pigmentation and color payoff. There was a gap between the function and the formulation. 

We created Antonym beauty to bridge that gap; a natural makeup line that offers professional level performance without compromising the integrity of the makeup ingredients. We call it gentle face fashion, a philosophy of kind ingredients with strong performance. 

Our philosophy has been embraced by consumers, top makeup artists, celebrities and media, who have turned to Antonym as their go-to high performance clean makeup brand.

“The color lasts hours yet feels moisturizing.”—InStyle

“We were shocked at how pigmented this palette was and how well it blended together.”—Cosmopolitan

“Antonym is one of Elle Magazine Green Stars.”—Elle

  

 

Valerie Giraud founder of Antonym CosmeticsNatural makeup doesn’t have to mean a natural look. Antonym Cosmetics was founded by Miami makeup artist Valerie (Val) Giraud who sought to create the best natural makeup and makeup brushes that were c and gentle on the skin. This is why Antonym makeup is made with certified natural ingredients and highly pigmented.

 


 

Born in Cannes, France, Val's passion and love for fashion and beauty, eventually brought her to London where she began to pursue her career as a makeup artist. In the late 90’s, Val made her way to Miami, one of the production capitals of the world, where she began working with top professionals and celebrities in TV, film, commercials and print. She launched the makeup line in 2014.

Her favorite beauty tip: the way you feel on the inside reflects the way you look on the outside, (but a little lipstick and mascara help).
