Becca Cosmetics was founded in Perth, Australia, by Rebecca Morice Williams. Rebecca worked as a makeup artist when her frustrations with the makeup market grew into her very own makeup line.

The first product that Becca Cosmetics ever made was a foundation that drew in a small following. Within a decade, Becca Cosmetics’ glow-centered products gained a cult following that would set them apart.
