KJ Miller and Amanda E. Johnson created Mented Cosmetics because they believe every woman should be able to find herself in the world of beauty. Their collection is filled with nude and red lip colors that fit every darker shade and tone.

There's not a single item we aren't coveting from the collection.

The curated line of products addresses hyperpigmentation, inflammation, dullness and uneven skin tone — basically everything we've ever wanted in a skin care line.
