Our Story
Crafting exceptional cosmetics with passion, integrity, and artistry since 2016
Welcome to Clionadh Cosmetics
Founded in 2016, Clionadh Cosmetics began as a small passion project in Moncton, New Brunswick. Our founder, a lifelong makeup enthusiast and chemist, noticed a gap in the market for truly innovative, highly pigmented eyeshadows that didn't compromise on ethics or quality.
What started as experiments in a home kitchen has grown into a beloved Canadian cosmetics brand known worldwide for our Stained Glass Collection and commitment to cruelty-free, handmade products.
