IPSY

At IPSY, our donation program is one of the ways we live our values out loud, and we couldn’t be more excited about the organizations we’ve partnered with this year and the impact they make! In Q1, we were able to support some incredible organizations doing meaningful work across LGBTQ+ advocacy, mental health, housing insecurity, and education—proudly contributing over 8,900+ beauty products to support their initiatives. Thank you #Pridelines, #AssistanceLeagueofLosAngeles, #HopeInaSuitcase, #SantaClaraUniversity, and #TracesofTrinityFoundation for everything you do to support underserved communities. It was an honor to partner with you and create beauty that’s more than skin deep. 💜 And we’re just getting started for 2025! Our mission at IPSY is to inspire everyone to express their unique beauty—and part of this means working to ensure that access to 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦, 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 is not limited by circumstance. In the words of Martin Luther King Jr., “𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘦’𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘶𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴: 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴?” Here’s to living out our mission. 🎉 #ThisIsIPSY #IPSYGivesBack
