Kira Cosmetics was founded by Shakiira Rahaman, a 37-year-old Fl. woman with Muscular Dystrophy. After an extended hospital stay in 2019, she went home and was inspired by a YouTube entrepreneur video. As a former make-up sales rep, she set out to create her first make-up line! Perfect for make-up lovers who love the art of makeup, Kira Cosmetics is cruelty-free, recyclable, and has packaging that becomes decor.
