Play-Centered Color Cosmetics

Trouble Maker Makeup Delivers Fun & Affordability to Gen Zalpha

Trouble Maker makeup was developed by Revolution Beauty founder Adam Minto to bring the fun back into color cosmetics with a focus on products, personality and price. This tailor-made range for Gen Zalpha beauty lovers is set to make its debut with an ambitious 300-SKU lineup and an average price point of £5, and nothing over £10. Spanning lip, eye, and face products, Trouble Maker inspires the good kind of mischief and makeup that centers on creative expression and play.

Trouble Maker is tapping into the spirit of rebellion with products like the plumping, popcorn-scented Chaos Gloss Lip Gloss, the Button Pusher Air Cushion Foundation with a puff applicator for applying the formula infused with niacinamide, blueberry extract, ginger root extract and aloe juice.
