The Magic Behind Fable
Once upon a time, there was a girl who didn’t feel very magical at all. My skin was patchy, my lips were puffy, and I was convinced I didn’t look anything like the “pretty” girls around me. When my family moved to a new town and I didn’t know a single soul, I found myself searching for something, anything, that felt like home.
I found makeup.
What started as simple curiosity quickly became a full blown love story. Each brushstroke felt like discovering a new chapter of who I was. Makeup wasn’t just about looking different, it was about feeling different, creative, expressive, and more like the version of myself I had always hoped to meet.
And like any good fairytale, my journey had its plot twists. I learned, failed, tried again, found my footing, and eventually earned my degree in art, where I finally understood that beauty and creativity weren’t two different things. They were the same language, and I wanted to share that language with others.
Fable Cosmetics was born from that belief:
that everyone deserves makeup that feels good, looks beautiful, and tells a story, their story.
Clean ingredients. No talc. Thoughtful formulas. Products that support your confidence rather than cover up who you are.
Because what you put on your skin matters.
And how you feel when you look in the mirror matters even more.
Your story is yours alone, but if I can help you feel a little more magical along the way, then this entire journey has been worth it.

If you really want to know who I am, here is the truth: I have been obsessed with beauty for as long as I can remember. I was three when I won my first pageant, Miss Peewee Delaware Valley, and from that moment on, I was fascinated with how a little color, a little light, and a little imagination could create something extraordinary.
As I grew up, that curiosity only deepened. I pursued art formally, studying illustration and design, learning how color, texture, and detail can completely transform a feeling. That training shaped the way I see makeup, not as a mask, but as art you get to wear.
Over the years, I tried different careers and beauty ventures, each one teaching me something new about what truly mattered to me. And it always came back to this:
I love helping people feel beautiful in their own skin.
Fable Cosmetics is more than a brand for me. It is the chapter of my story where I finally get to share what I love most, creativity, clean beauty, and the belief that confidence isn’t manufactured… it is cultivated.
My hope is that when you open one of our products, it feels like opening a page of your own fairytale. Not to change who you are, but to celebrate who you have been all along.
