Custom kit is back 💜 Since 2014, this has been one of the most important moments at tarte and our biggest sale of the year. While the offer speaks for itself (7 full-size products for $77😉), what makes custom kit special is what it represents: giving our community the ability to build something that feels entirely their own ✨ With 700+ products to choose from, no two kits are the same. It’s a balance of personalization, discovery, and value - all designed with our tartelettes in mind. Behind the scenes, this is a true cross-functional effort. Product development, merchandising, ecomm, marketing, engineering, and operations all come together to create a seamless experience at scale, with our customer experience team supporting every step along the way 🙌 https://lnkd.in/ensqb25Z

We’re tarte – the original pioneer of high-performance naturals & one of the fastest-growing beauty brands in the U.S. Founded over 25 years ago by Maureen Kelly, tarte started with a bold belief: beauty should be cruelty-free, easy to use, packed with good-for-you ingredients, & actually work. No compromises. Ever. Today, tarte is loved by a global community of tartelettes – from pros to everyday beauty lovers, including makeup artists, creators, celebrities, teachers, nurses, moms, students, & everyone in between.

what an honor ✨ with our fearless founder Maureen Kelly leading the way, the tarte team just won TikTok Shop Seller of the year! 🏆 So proud of everyone who made this happen 💫 TikTok Shop Christina Tran Ajay Salpekar
Winning TikTok Shop Seller of the Year today for Tarte Cosmetics is one of those full-circle moments I don’t take lightly. When we launched on TikTok Shop, we knew it wasn’t just another sales channel - it was a completely new way to connect with our community in real time. A place where storytelling, education, and commerce all come together in one scroll. What makes this award so special isn’t just the growth…it’s how we got here. Through creators who genuinely love the brand, our incredible tarte team, and our community who shows up for us every single day. TikTok has proven that the future of retail isn’t transactional - it’s about relationships. And we’ve leaned into that from day one. Thank you! TikTok Shop Christina Tran Ajay Salpekar, Katherine Gao, & the entire Tarte Cosmetics team - it takes a village 💜

Thank you to Glossy and Sara Spruch-Feiner for capturing this very full-circle moment. 💚 Twenty-six years after launching Tarte Cosmetics from my one-bedroom apartment, I’m stepping into wellness with FINNSUL - a brand I’m building alongside my sons, Finn and Sully McDonough, bootstrapped from our garage and shaped by real life. As I shared in the piece, we were operating with “37 tabs open at once,” constantly juggling supplements just to feel steady - until we decided to simplify the routine we’d been relying on for years. What’s been most exciting is building this brand in true community with our audience - crowdsourcing everything from flavors to merch to packaging. That real-time feedback loop is incredibly powerful, and as we think about retail down the line, our goal is to show up in a way that feels more experiential, educational, and genuinely community-driven. Thank you to everyone who has supported this next-generation founder journey so far - we’re just getting started. Shop FINNSUL focus now on finnsul.com and TikTok Shop!

Congratulations to our incredible founder & CEO Maureen Kelly on the launch of FINNSUL! 🎉🥹 From building tarte into a prestige makeup powerhouse to now co-founding a wellness brand alongside her Gen Z sons Finn & Sully — Maureen never stops inspiring us. 💜 FINNSUL Focus is a nootropic electrolyte supplement built for the “37 tabs open” feeling we all know too well — with neuroscience-backed ingredients, 0 sugar, & clean electrolytes to help you feel clear, grounded, & steady. We are so proud of you, Maureen, Finn, & Sully. The next chapter is just getting started. 💚 Shop FINNSUL Focus at finnsul.com & TikTok Shop! https://lnkd.in/eje2DVz5

I’m honored to be recognized by PRWeek as part of their Women of Distinction 2026! Moments like this are incredibly meaningful for me. Not just personally, but because they shine a light on the power of purpose-driven brands. From building Tarte Cosmetics in my one-bedroom NYC apartment to partnering with creators and communities (since day 1) to make real impact, this journey has always been about more than beauty. One example I’m especially proud of is our eyeshadow palette partnership with influencer Aspyn Ovard, which helped raise $600,000 for cancer research - proof that when brands lead with heart, they can create meaningful change. Thank you to the PRWeek team for this honor, and to our community + creators who continue to inspire me every day. 💜
