A Letter From Our Founder

Hello my lovely!

I'm Barbara, Founding Director of LUMINOSA Cosmetica.

If you're reading this, I'm assuming this may be your first time here. With that said, welcome!

Allow me to share part of the LUMINOSA Cosmetica story.

LUMINOSA Cosmetica was born from a vision I had, born from my own struggle with skin issues after many years of chronic cystic acne, self-image, and the weight of beauty standards. Despite all this, I choose to shine a light on my own unique natural beauty.....while still being a "work in progress".

My journey began with EMBODY Wellness Store, a place for women seeking to balance and heal their bodies through nutrition. But my passion has always been around helping women look good AND feel good! That passion allowed me to launch EMBODY Beauty Cosmetics. We celebrated real, unfiltered beauty with natural skin-first makeup that let women feel good in their own skin.

But I knew there was more.....

With that, LUMINOSA Cosmetica was born through my own metamorphosis. This brand is  bold, bright, and uncompromising, created for women who no longer dim themselves to fit in, and who use makeup to reveal rather than conceal their brilliance.

I believe we women should never have to choose between luxury and wellness, performance and purity, beauty and authenticity. Every formula in the LUMINOSA collection reflects this belief, empowering women to embrace their glow without compromise.

My mission is to lead a new era in beauty, one where women around the world are bold, bright and uncompromising.

I want to leave you with my favourite quote from the great Dr Seuss, "Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.".

Stay Luminous,
