Who doesn\u2019t love a sleeper hit? Among the cacophony of beauty launches, meet the indie brand that\u2019s managed to quietly cut through the clutter to amass a niche group of devoted beauty fans. We sit down with makeup artist Kirsten Kjaer Weis, who tells us all about the vision for her eponymous cosmetics range that\u2019s both ultra-luxury and certified organic\u2014not to mention entirely re-fillable.

Seven years in the making, Kjaer Weiss launched in 2010 to heaps of magazine write-ups, thanks in part to its beyond-beautiful packaging (designed by the mastermind behind Comme des Garcons\u2019 chic AF fragrances, Marc Atlan.) It quickly became a cult favourite amongst the models who were often in Kirsten\u2019s makeup chair, celebrities like Emma Watson and makeup artists like Katey Denno. The reason? High performance makeup that could compete with conventional makeup brands\u2014without any irritating toxins.
