A passion for makeup and love for animals led one Kentucky teenager to begin a journey of entrepreneurship.
13-year-old Norah Martin, who calls Louisville home, recently launched her own makeup line called Peach Cosmetics.
About Peach Cosmetics
Launching to consumers in February, Peach Cosmetics is first offering a variety of different lip glosses.
There are 15 shades of lip gloss so far.
The lip glosses come in multiple colors and feature clever names like “bling bling,” “sweetie pie,” and “fire engine.”
Martin’s favorites are “embrace” and “fringe.”
She selects the colors based on personal preferences, as well as what she thinks will be popular with her customers.
Each lip gloss costs $21.00.
The passion and purpose of Peach Cosmetics goes beyond the surface.
Martin is donating $1.00 from every lip gloss sold to the Kentucky Humane Society.
“I have a dog that we adopted from the Humane Society last year. I am also a huge horse lover and have been riding for almost 10 years,” said Martin.
Vision For More
How does an eighth grader start a company?
In November 2024, Martin came to her mom and asked for advice on creating her own company.
Martin’s mom, Kaitlyn Hubert, is beauty expert & influencer and multi-time entrepreneur.
Hubert created hair care lines Tomboy and Urban Wild, which are sold nationally.
She also owns Pelo West at the Galt House in downtown Louisville; Pelo Beauty Collective in Louisville and Lexington; and co-owns Golden Aesthetic Atelier, also in Louisville and Lexington.
With entrepreneurship running in the family, Martin is thinking ahead with Peach Cosmetics.
“I would like to grow Peach Cosmetics into a full makeup line and sell my products in large, chain stores,” said Martin. “For now, though, I’m earning money to buy a horse, and I love giving back to The Humane Society.”
The lip glosses are designed for long wear and contain vitamin E to help hydrate lips.
Martin plans to create lip liners and lip stains next to enhance the selection of glosses.
Martin says there are also plans to expand the offerings and dive into a more comprehensive line including eyeshadow palettes and mascara.
