The Toronto Star features entrepreneur Daniel Thompson, founder of Toronto cosmetic company Daniel Thompson Beauty. Launched in 2008, the Toronto-based company designs and sells a line of mineral-based
cosmetics carried by spas across Canada and
in the United States.
"Before starting his makeup line, Thompson worked for several large cosmetics companies including Yves Saint Laurent, L'Or�al and Elizabeth Arden. In 2003, he launched Thompson Consulting, which, among other things, developed cosmetics lines for spas and other clients. Then, in 2008, the recession hit. "My business contracted 80 per cent overnight," Thompson says."
"He met with his business partner and head designer to figure out what to do. They decided that after years developing cosmetics for other companies, it was time Thompson put his name on a product."
"Daniel Thompson Beauty has a refreshing approach to makeup. Unlike other companies that create a look consumers are strongly encouraged to imitate, at Daniel Thompson Beauty "there is no set standard look that we create for women. Everything is highly personalized," the 36-year-old founder says."
"The company's products are unique, thanks to their multipurpose designs. "Our eye shadows make great blushes. Our blushes make great lipsticks. Our lipsticks make great eye shadows."
