“It’s so colorful, and it’s so cute as well,” said Ko of KimChi Chic Beauty. Launched in October of 2019, KimChi Chic Beauty has filled a void for “fun and play” in cosmetics, said Toni Ko, creator and chief executive officer of Bespoke Beauty Brands, whose brand portfolio includes KimChi Chic Beauty and Jason Wu Beauty (Ko founded NYX Cosmetics, which sold to L’Oréal in 2014). Now I have more foundation than I know what to do with.”Ī first look at KimChi Chic Beauty’s BFF4EVR collection, a collaboration with Trixie Mattel. “Imagine Kim and I trying to find a shade that kind of worked for both of us, because we were on a budget,” added Mattel.
“There was a time when we put our money together just to buy foundation for our gig that evening,” said Chi. “Honestly, besides the fact that we were struggling financially to pull together looks, we both have talked and said it’s probably the happiest times of our lives.” “We would couch surf with each other every weekend, working for enough money to catch the train and get food,” said Mattel, who’s originally from Milwaukee. They would help one another, bring each other out on drag gigs. I sent her some clips of myself performing, and I was like, ‘Can I ever come do your show?’ And I just remember meeting her for the first time, and she was so tall and so beautiful and so nice. And I DM’ed her on Facebook Messenger at the time. Their working relationship began in 2012, said Mattel, founder of Trixie Cosmetics: “I met Kim because I saw her online, and she lived close by. She’s just getting started in the industry,” Trixie Mattel jumped in, sarcastically. “It’s not like Kim’s a world famous drag queen or anything. “I realized I have a famous friend, and I could use his fame and fortune to enrich my fortune, so I was like, ‘Hey, Trixie, let me coattail off of your fame and fortune and sell some products,’” joked Kim Chi of the launch.
While reality show fans may know them as playful rivals, the two (born Sang-Young Shin and Brian Michael Firkus, respectively) are in fact longtime friends.Ĭhloe Cherry Celebrates Urban Decay Vice Lip Bond Liquid Lip Color CampaignĮye Candy: Inside the 2022 Fragrance Foundation Awards
