Milk Makeup
cosmetics company
Milk Makeup is a New York City-based cosmetics and skin care company created by the founders of Milk Studios. Despite its name, it is 100% vegan.
History
Milk Makeup was launched in February 2016 and was founded in New York City by Milk Studios co-founder Mazdack Rassi, fashion editor, and entertainment reporter Zanna Roberts Rassi, creative director Georgie Greville and product developer Dianna Ruth. Media executive Scott Sassa serves as chairman.
The company's products were initially distributed by Sephora. In addition to Sephora and the brand’s own website, Milk Makeup is currently sold at Cult Beauty, Space NK, and Amazon. In 2017, the company received an investment from Main Post Partners. It was acquired by Waldencast along with Obagi in June 2022.
Milk Makeup has collaborated with a number of different brands and partners. In November 2018, the company collaborated with Wu-Tang and TRUE NYC, paying homage to their NYC roots and celebrating self-expression, strength, and the creative connection between them.

Why this record matters
“Milk Makeup” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Milk, Makeup and cosmetics provides the most credible route into that argument.
Contemporary correspondence, administrative files and participant testimony can test how later narratives organized the event or institution. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q58494514. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2016, 2017, 2022 and 2018.
Institutional narratives can privilege the records that survived while minimizing voices that were never formally collected. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
