About Sculpted by Aimee

Sculpted by Aimee Cosmetics is an Irish makeup brand founded in late 2016 by makeup artist Aimee Connolly. After years of experience working within the industry Aimee was passionate about creating products she felt were missing from the market all in line with her ethos of making makeup easier.

When Aimee started Sculpted, she wanted to do things differently and make makeup with a clean conscience. So she is proud to say their products are cruelty-free and always have been. They are working towards becoming 100% vegan too.

Six years later, Sculpted By Aimee has become one of Ireland’s top makeup brands, trusted to provide cruelty-free coverage that complements every look.

The brand has grown phenomenally during its initial years and it has launched 40+ SKUs to date and in its fourth year is ready to now begin its expansion into new markets.

In April 2022 Sculpted By Aimee engaged The Growth Foundation, a proven ecommerce growth consultancy (Gymshark, Ruroc, The Hut Group, Schuh) to help Sculpted by Aimee scale up, and after their initial review a number of next, key hires have been identified, this, being one of them.
