Q AND A WITH THE FOUNDER OF A.M.F LIPSTICK
Q & A
Q: Let's delve into the heart of A.M.F Lipstick. Can you share the inspiration behind the tagline "Dare to make a beauty statement"?
A: Absolutely. "Dare to make a beauty statement" encapsulates the essence of A.M.F Lipstick. I wanted to challenge the conventional notions of beauty and encourage individuals to boldly express themselves through makeup. It's a call to step out of comfort zones, embrace uniqueness, and redefine beauty on your terms.
Q: The intersection of beauty, romance, and feminism is a distinctive feature of your brand. How did these elements come together to shape A.M.F Lipstick?
A: For me, beauty, romance, and feminism are intertwined threads that make life vibrant. A.M.F Lipstick is an extension of that philosophy. Beauty goes beyond appearances; it's about self-love, passion, and empowerment.
Q: Tell us more about the role of feminism in A.M.F Lipstick. How does the brand contribute to empowering women?
A: At A.M.F Lipstick, feminism is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that true beauty lies in embracing your uniqueness—whether it’s scars, acne, grey hair, or any feature that society might deem 'imperfect.' We empower women to be unapologetically confident, to break boundaries, and to inspire others through their bold self-expression. There’s romance in loving yourself, in owning your story, and in celebrating your beauty. Our lipsticks are more than just a cosmetic; they’re a statement of empowerment, individuality, and self-love.
Q: The brand's emphasis on storytelling is intriguing. How does each lipstick shade tell a story?
A: Each shade in the collection is inspired by a moment in my life. I share a story with each shade. It's a way for me to add a personal touch. Being a hopeless romantic, I've been fortunate enough to experience some incredibly romantic encounters, and the idea of sharing glimpses of my life on a larger scale, but in a creative way, has been immensely enjoyable! It sparked this notion within me – how incredible it would be to offer a platform for others to share their stories too. I love to kiss in tell with my friends. Whether it's during our casual girl talk sessions, over brunch, or during late-night 3-way calls where nothing is off the table, we delve into the juiciest, most candid stories. It's these moments of openness and connection that I cherish, and I wanted to bring that same spirit of sharing and camaraderie to A.M.F Lipstick.
Q: A.M.F Lipstick is more than just a product. How does the brand foster a sense of community among its wearers?
A: We share stories, celebrate diverse beauty, and encourage each other to embrace our passions. The community is a collective space where individuals become storytellers, contributing to a narrative of empowerment, self-expression, and shared experiences. Customers can anonymously share their stories on our blog, post pictures and videos using the hashtag #AMFmode on social media, and soon, they’ll be able to create videos and share memories from the keepsake gift boxes we’ll be sending out in the future. These are just a few ways we’re bringing the A.M.F Lipstick community together.
Q: As we wrap up, what do you hope individuals feel when they dare to make a beauty statement with A.M.F Lipstick?
A : I hope they feel liberated, confident, and inspired. A.M.F Lipstick is a vessel for self-expression and empowerment. I want every individual to embrace their unique beauty, challenge norms, and feel a sense of belonging within the A.M.F Lipstick community. More than anything, I want people to live their best lives and unapologetically create a story worth telling. I want every woman to know that she is an Astonishing Mesmerizing Female—bold, beautiful, and unstoppable—and to love who she is and what she does with passion
