Our story

Past Cosmetics is a natural vintage-inspired makeup brand launched in February 2022 by actress and historian Satine Queeni. Our collections are inspired by makeup from the twentieth century, which was a revolutionary period of new innovations for cosmetics. Our raison d'être is producing vintage-influenced cosmetics that'll make you feel like you stepped back in time.

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 real and beautiful.
