Tradition in the blood

Throughout Africa, there is a great cultural tradition of beautification and personal decoration, with each culture representing themselves differently and with great pride. Throughout the years these traditions have been slowly put aside in favour of Western norms, only being expressed on special days and rare situations. Fingerprint Cosmetics wants to refocus on that cultural pride and recapture the hearts of the nations by providing quality colour cosmetics with a focus on cultural power and tradition.

Who is Fingerprint Cosmetics?

Fingerprint Cosmetics is a small company with big heart and great ambition. We want to change the landscape of colour cosmetics for South Africa and eventually greater Africa using you – the people – to drive this change. Fingerprint Cosmetics represents a shift in industry bias, and promises a more inclusive, quality product. Our cultural heritage is the fingerprint of Africa, which is captured and represented in our logo.

“Cosmetics is so much more than just an exercise of vanity and the dream of a good social media photo. There is a freedom that comes from it, a deep satisfaction of being able to express yourself in a physical way that is totally in your control. There is a definite power in a smoky eye and red lips that cannot be explained, it is confidence in a tangible format and it is a feeling that should not be the exclusive domain of the wealthy or fortunate alone. Fingerprint Cosmetics aims to spark the Africa Proud, Global Chic revolution!
Founder
Fingerprint Cosmetics

The global cosmetics industry has neglected Africa for decades, limiting quality cosmetics to a smattering of small premium brands that are far too expensive for the average person who deserves to feel the confidence of beauty. We wish to correct the imbalance and vast gaps in the African beauty industry and bring rural power and urban chic to the fingers of all people. We will provide quality cosmetics at an affordable price for all people to access.
