Founded in 2000 as a niche film-and-television makeup brand, KETT Cosmetics develops professional cosmetics and airbrush equipment designed to withstand the unforgiving lens of high-definition cameras. Founder Sheila McKenna drew on more than 30 years in makeup and film to build the line, which now reaches more than 20 countries and is used by professional makeup artists, celebrities and consumers. KETT’s formulas are developed in a lab and tested under high-definition cameras, with a focus on flexible, long-lasting complexion coverage.
