Kingsley Lipstick Collection by Event Cosmetics
It was the middle of summer in 2020 when the dust finally settled, like most musicians, Kingsley was at the point of breaking. Giving up on everything due to the burdens of a pandemic, Kingsley spent her time trying to rediscover what made her happy in life since she couldn’t perform/tour. She used the downtime to look for creative ways to make revenue - i.e driving for Uber Eats. Alast, an opportunity of a lifetime rose.
Kingsley met Katherine, a longtime downtown Portland WOC shop owner of Event Cosmetics a while back through a mutual friend and loved spending time talking to her about life, music, and beauty, but the two never imagined life would lead them to collaborate. One day adventuring downtown to get air, Kingsley stopped in Katherine’s shop, both venting about how life had really hit their professions with a curveball. Suddenly a light went off, they figured instead of seeing the bad, they would collaborate and create their own good.
Katherine spent most of the rest of the year researching everything about Kingsley. What made her personally so vibrant, confident, and bold. What beauty product could embody her and aspire others to be their best self. Kingsley Collection by Event Cosmetic was born! The collection is c3, high luxurious lipstick named after Kingsley’s three singles from her upcoming album, “Crying On Holidays.”
Be captivating with I’m Fine! This lavish lipstick with a sheer wash of color and glittery finish matches Kingsley’s softer and flirty side. The versatile and creamy formula of I’m Fine is also transferable to any place of the face; use it as a highlight to make your dewy look pop - a perfect look to match your fabulousness, worth, and value.
Be the Queen you are meant to be with All Me! This regal and bold, deep purple matte lipstick with a flat finish represents Kingsley’s majestic persona. You will turn heads like a true queen while wearing this vibrant color! Fun fact, this is Kingsley’s favorite color, Say it with All Me!
Be alluring with Therapy! This black liquid matte lipstick embodies boldness, extraordinary, and chic. Equal to Kingsley’s undeniable confidence and intoxicating energy, Therapy evokes the part of life after you heal from those heartache wounds, emerging from the fire more powerful, stronger, and refined than ever.

Each color was created with the intention of inclusiveness of every skin tone as it is important to Kingsley to help everyone find their confidence in her products. So dress your lip up or down and BE YOU!
“I am honestly so excited to bring these [lipsticks] to the world. It’s so strange to think I was embarrassed about having big lips in high school - I want to spend the rest of my life making sure every single person, no matter who they are, shows off those luscious lips with my products.”
