Pomponne: green & clean skincare makeup

All you need is SMILE

We're Agathe & Charline, pharmacists who chose to deliver smiles instead of prescriptions :)

With pharmacy degrees in hand, we met at a cosmetics startup and immediately clicked: same work ethic - invested as ever - and especially the same joy of life - not a day without a smile -...

As the years pass, our duo has grown stronger; we were very quickly nicknamed TIC & TAC - we're sure you also work with THAT colleague, your "working wife", the one you tell everything to, the one you say "I swear, I can't IMAGINE working without you!" to! -.

After 5 years of working as a duo, THE realization: what if we put all this energy into ourselves? What if we took the plunge? What if we started our own business? - What if, what if…as Patrick would say -.

What if we created THE brand that gives women a smile?

The origin of the project

To get here, we made 3 observations - but not 15! -:

  • The first is that makeup has power: the power to make you feel even more beautiful, to give you even more self-confidence, to allow you to express your personality even better... What if we gave it the power to take care of your skin? As pharmacists, we wanted to add a skincare dimension to makeup to make it active.

    • The second is that we are increasingly turning towards "consuming better": we decipher compositions to choose natural and "FREE FROM" products, we prioritize "made in France"... We pay attention to food products, and cosmetic care, but we often spoil everything with the last step of the beauty ritual: makeup. Yet it is applied to the most fragile areas of the face: eyelashes, lips,...

      • The third, it's simply that smiling feels good. Since we can't imagine a day without smiling, we want to spread the Smile Power with you! And the good news is, a smile is contagious!

          For all these reasons - drumroll…- we are creating a brand of clean & green, treatment makeup, without compromising on performance, to give you a smile :)

          More than just makeup, Pomponne is a state of mind:
          Pomponne makes you smile

          And you, in all of this?

          Our challenge: for this makeup to make you smile, so what better way than to create it with you?

          So - if you want to become our Pomponnette ;) - we will often ask for your opinion on Instagram (@Pomponne.makeup) to best adapt our formulas to your needs.

          Everything we know, everything we learn, we'll tell you about it through our Smile Blog - a blog that gives you a smile, hence its name! - where you can find:

          • Make-up tips adapted to your skin tone, eye color… - for you, to avoid drama! -
          • Interviews with Pomponnettes who share their make-up secrets - from brides, but also from women who aren't getting married! -
          • Articles on the virtues of plants - the power of flowers, jasmine, jasmine, lilac, lilac… -
          • Tips for consuming clean - even in your make-up bag -
          • Our tips for better taking care of the planet - but without stressing yourself out -
          • And finally, behind the brand, there's the entrepreneurial adventure, and we want to make it a collective story - the more the merrier, right? - And if it can also inspire you to dare to take the plunge, we'll know we've served a purpose - and that will make us smile! -. Every Friday, we'll recap - calmly, recalling every moment - of the week: our struggles, our successes, our meltdowns, - our bursts of laughter -… we'll tell you everything, very transparently!

          Above all, never hesitate to intervene, give us your opinion, or ask us for advice... What we want is to interact with you!

          At Pomponne, it goes both ways: we're going to teach you things - at least we hope so! - but we're sure that you also have a lot to teach us - we're far from perfect, but we try to do our best! -.

          So, are you joining the Pomponnette Family?

          Let's spread the Smile Power,

          Agathe & Charline
