We cannot WAIT to visit!

This is actually really exciting news lads.

A museum fully dedicated to makeup is set to open in May 2020, in the wonderful city of New York.

It will be dedicated to the history of beauty and its massive impact on society.

The flagship exhibition will be an immersive “Pink Jungle: 1950s Makeup in America” installation, which will explore the entrepreneurs, icons and artefacts of a decade that shaped the industry.

Speaking about the exciting opening, Executive Director and co-founder Doreen Bloch said:

“The Makeup Museum is a critical institution for the cultural landscape in New York because makeup has a 10,000-year history.”


“There is so much that the Makeup Museum wants and has to explore. The 1950s is a perfect time period for the Makeup Museum to start within the debut exhibition because the 1950s is the birth of the modern cosmetics industry.”

Visitors will experience an immersive exhibition, that will showcase some incredible things, while also providing educational information, alongside aesthetic spaces and unique events!

Tickets go on sale in March 2020 and the early access waitlist is currently live on the Makeup Museum’s website.

We’re already planning our trip.
