** THIS PROBABLY SHOULD BE IN THE PROFESSIONAL BOARD, BUT I FIGURED I COULD GET MORE SUGGESTIONS THROUGH THE MAKEUP BOARD, IF IT NEEDS TO BE MOVED, PLEASE DO SO. **


I can't think of a name for my cosmetic brand!!

I know it is hard to give suggestions or opinions when you know nothing of the company...

I'm making a high end cosmetic line, everything from foundations, primer, shadows, lashes, fiber mascara, brushes, and even face wash.
It will be in a small boutique of 3 MUAs and 2 Stylists, and will even offer special effects application.

The colors for the boutique are Black, White, Silver, Mirror, and Lilac.

Here is what I have so far: Blushing, Cheeky, Lippy, Mirror, Chandelier, Symbolize, Glitterize.

Any opinions & suggestions? I'm open to anything!
I like one word names/brands.

Personally for a high end brand I wouldn't go for anything to colloquial like Lippy/ lippie or cheeky, which I feel would be more appropriate for a drugstore brand. I also feel the same way about words ending with "ize"

I think your best looking at existing brands. What do their names have in common? They are (nearly) all named after the creator: Nars, Estee Lauder, Bobbi Brown, Charlotte Tilbury, Chanel, Dior, etc... So I'd personally go down that sort of route as I feel it immediately suggests to me a higher end brand.

I agree with Becky. Look at high end brands. Of course not all of them are named after someone. You could do something like m.a.c and do initials in a cool font?

Not every one is no but all the ones I could think of off the top of my head were, funny how a mind goes blank isn't is? :P

I find a lot of companies that are considered to be "the ultimate luxury companies" also tend to be French or French sounding (Again not always the case but a trend I've noticed in general) so you could always play on that too if you wanted.
