About Holly Doss

Before she was known for her elegant use of pigment, Holly Doss pursued her love of color by studying and earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Interior Design & Architecture, with an emphasis on Color Theory. Yet, fate had a different plan. The day after graduation, she met and deeply connected with her mentor, Trish McEvoy, who insisted she transfer her talents into cosmetic artistry and hired her as a National Makeup Artist. After working with an elite clientele and the industry's finest, Holly eventually went on to create her own line - a lavish array of products inspired by her love of color, texture, layering and a Universal demand for individuality. Debuting her first collection of 26 eyeshadows in 2004, the pigments provided a refined finish varying from barely detectable to strikingly bold, gaining her an almost immediate cult following. The full spectrum of fashion-forward colors, high-end makeup brushes, and Holly's pure heart of gold put the HOLLY DOSS brand on the map. Celebrities, beauty insiders, loyal customers and makeup artists who began wearing Holly Doss Cosmetics compared the quality of the line most to Chanel and the multi-talented artist behind it to Francois Nars.Read their story
