SELLMA BRAND

Being a committed, innovative, and visionary makeup master, a dream popped into Sellma’s mind back in 2015. This dream, or rather, this visionary concept, aimed to have products meticulously tailored to her exacting standards, solely for use in the makeovers she would apply to her clientele. As she began to take this dream seriously, she delved into the concept of turning it into reality.

Her pursuit led her on a quest to find a producer who could meet her meticulous criteria. After thorough searches, she discovered a fitting collaborator, marking the beginning of a close partnership. Extensive research, development, and testing followed, culminating in the successful launch of the first line of Sellma Lip Matte in September 2016.

Originally intending to apply her first product solely to her clientele, the unexpected happened. The clientele, enthused by the quality, the color, and the desire of being trendy and fancy by having a ‘SELLMA’ product in their bags, began expressing their huge interest on buying the product. This resulted with the Lip Matte becoming an instant hit, sparking a market boom. Sellma, surprised by the fantastic response, decided to embrace the demand and expand her product range, which led to the same popularity as Lip Matte.

Encouraged by this success, Sellma took her vision further. What started as a project for personal use, transformed into a full-fledged venture. Sellma not only expanded her product range but also established an international online shop offering a wide range of makeup goodies for beauty enthusiasts worldwide.

The journey that began as a dream turned into a lit enterprise, making Sellma’s mark not just as a makeup master but as a innovative entrepreneur in the beauty industry.
