Our story
Past Cosmetics is a natural vintage-inspired makeup brand launched in February 2022 by actress and historian Satine Queeni. Our classic collections are inspired by the makeup industry from the twentieth century, which was a revolutionary period of new innovations for cosmetics. Our raison d'être is producing vintage-influenced cosmetics that will make you feel like you stepped back in time.
Our founder
Satine Queeni, the founder, creative & art director of Past Cosmetics is a French-born British American actress, historian, musician and philanthropist. She is particularly known for playing in period dramas spanning in the late modern period in American and British movies and series. She studies anthropology and cultural history, and is renowned for her quintessential vintage lifestyle and pastiches. Her mantra is "long live the good old days" and we make sure that our brand stands for that.
Founder
Made accessible
Accessibility is essential at Past Cosmetics. Thus, we create affordable, timeless and high quality products for everyone, everywhere. Our founder Satine Queeni thought that it was about time to change the cosmetic industry by making a brand accessible to everyone and a good quality in our products and beyond. Plus, most of our products are multitasking, making it easy for you to create your own makeup routine.
We keep it real
Past Cosmetics is built on the philosophy of authenticity, and for us that means genuine, unretouched skin. We do not use filters in pursuit of a "perfect" skin because it simply doesn't exist. Everyone's natural skin is different yet always beautiful. Also, we do not use artificial intelligence, and nothing on here is AI-generated in any way whatsoever.
