Celebrity Makeup Artist Monika Blunder is the founder and inspiration behind her namesake brand, Monika Blunder Beauty. Recognized in Hollywood as one of the most sought-after makeup artists, Monika has taken her decades of red carpet experience and integrated her Austrian roots to create botanically-infused clean, natural and effective beauty products that embody the German word “zart,” meaning soft, gentle and tender.

Monika Blunder Beauty is ‘Consciously Created Makeup’, can you explain what this means?
We believe “Clean Beauty” is consciously created makeup that is designed to be as gentle on your personal ecosystem as possible. Always free of parabens, phthalates and sulphates.
As a seasoned makeup artist, our founder, Monika Blunder, has worked with countless clients and skin tones over the years. When formulating Blunder Cover, she tested hundreds of hues to purposely create the twenty most versatile shades that can be mixed to create the perfect match for any complexion.
What is the key challenge your brand is facing right now?
As a self-funded brand sometimes it’s a juggling act to keep up with demand for our products. We are so pleased that the beauty consumer loves our brand once they discover it. We are also very fortunate to have repeat business from our customers. We always want to do better and exceed expectations with the high performance formulations we create.
Tell us about the Monika Blunder Beauty Community’s Impact?
1% of every Monika Blunder Beauty purchase is donated to a non-profit of your choice. This supports Monika’s firm belief that with every success we must give back to those less fortunate. At the very core of the Monika Blunder Beauty brand is kindness for each other and towards the modern world we live in.
What was the highlight for Monika Blunder Beauty in 2022?
A real highlight was launching into Space NK throughout the UK. It is every brand’s dream to have the stamp of approval from such a highly regarded retail partner. We are thrilled to have built a mutually beneficial partnership and look forward to growing the Monika Blunder Beauty brand together.
What can we expect from Monika Blunder Beauty in 2023?
We do plan to introduce more products while ensuring we are thoughtful, mindful and conscious of what our customer’s needs are! We will be introducing new products in 2023. We will be introducing eye products and skincare in particular. We are not launching products for the sake of it. I have genuinely identified products that are essentials in my professional makeup kit and our product range will mirror this.
What is the one thing that you would love consumers to know about your brand?
A large percentage of consumers will actually look for negative reviews. They take onboard the reasons why someone didn’t like the product.
Being kind to ourselves and the environment is vital to Monika Blunder Beauty. We strive to create the purest botanical-based products that are not only healthy for your skin but with eco-friendly packaging when possible. This commitment is so important to us; every six months, we will choose and donate a percentage of each item purchased online to a non-profit that empowers and benefit families, the environment, or the larger global community.
This commitment is so important to us, so we have chosen to dedicate a portion of our sales to non-profits that empower and benefit families, the environment, or the larger global community.
