LEMONHEAD.LA is the brainchild of makeup artist Megan Dugan. As an artist, she craved high-impact, avant-garde makeup products that would inspire creativity, not complacency. When she couldn’t find what she was looking for, she decided to take matters into her own hands. She began cocktailing good-for-skin ingredients with ultra-reflective glitter blends to create the first LHLA luxe glitter pastes. Soon she was making them for other makeup artists, too, as they recognized these glitters were unlike any others on the market. They were gentle, mess-free, long-lasting, and easy to use. The best glitter in the galaxy was born, and word was getting out.
Since then, LEMONHEAD.LA has garnered a cult following of It-girls, makeup artists, and beauty editors alike. Beyoncé, Margot Robbie, Emma Stone, Janet Jackson, Alicia Keys, and Lady Gaga are just a few of the A-listers who wear LHLA glitter. LHLA has regularly been featured in leading beauty publications such as Allure, Harper’s Bazaar, and Who What Wear, and it was famously used by Euphoria makeup artists to create some of the show’s most stunning and iconic makeup looks (Zendaya’s lavender glitter tears? Yeah, that’s HOUDINI!). In 2019 LHLA was proud to announce its collaboration with Lady Gaga’s beauty brand, Haus Laboratories. “Melrosé’ Spacejam® and ‘Silverlake’ Spacepaste® were chosen by Lady Gaga and her makeup artist Sarah Tanno to be included in Haus Labs’ first-ever holiday collection!
Despite all the glitz and fanfare, LEMONHEAD.LA products are all still lovingly handcrafted in small batches by Megan and her trusty LHLA makeup artists in their Los Angeles office. Each product they create is made for anyone who has imagination (spoiler alert: everybody). Whether you’re a professional makeup artist or an enthusiastic beauty buff, LEMONHEAD.LA is here so you can explore your infinite artistry. Open the glitter and watch magic happen.
