WALL STREET EXPAT. SHARK TANK REJECT.
TRAILS BLAZED. BAR RAISED. PROUDLY SELF-MADE.
MELISSA BUTLER BAWSE & CEO, THE LIP BAR
Fed up with the toxic one-shade-fits-most beauty industry, the self-made CEO, Melissa Butler, turned her frustration into action—stepping off the lucrative-but-soulless corporate ladder and into her Brooklyn kitchen to whip up vibrant vegan lipstick.
A rejection on Shark Tank only fueled Melissa’s tenacious spirit—motivating her to reclaim power over her own dream. She grew The Lip Bar beyond lipstick to TLB: award-winning maximum impact, minimal effort beauty must-haves for all.
