Down Boy Studio is a next generation beauty brand that was developed by a Toronto entrepreneur who wanted to provide their customers with clean, effective, and cruelty free makeup products, without causing excess harm to the environment.
In line with its sustainable vision, Down Boy uses handmade packaging, which is crafted from post consumer plastics. This gives the brand's products a unique look, with each plastic container boasting a slightly different appearance. To ensure each offering is high quality and inclusive, Down Boy currently offers just four key products: Blush Cake, Lip Lotion, Face Gloss, and its Liquid Soap Brows Kit. All products are available in neutral shades that are suitable for all skin types and tones.
