During a career in makeup artistry and cosmetics spanning 25 years,
David Klasfeld created Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics in 2004. Inspired despite
finding himself limited by the lack of quality vegan makeup products on
the market, he felt driven by a desire to elevate the term “cruelty-free
cosmetics.” He soon found himself honored to receive the PETA
Trail-Blazer Award for his efforts.
In 2009, he went on to create Lip
Tar, a pigment-rich liquid lipstick. Introduced to the mass market in
2012, the product spearheaded a trend that still dominates makeup today.
In 2020, he returned to the front lines of the beauty world during a
challenging time in hopes of helping affect great change.
