Fun and customisable makeup palettes were what Jouer Cosmetics was loved for when it was first established in 2008, but its thoughtful beauty formulas are what tons of people around the world fawn over today.
From subtle washes of colour to creamy, pigmented shades, the brand’s beauty recipes are created not just to look good but also to feel great on the skin.
Ahead, we share everything you need to know about Jouer Cosmetics, including where to buy them in Singapore as well as its bestsellers.
The playful beginnings of Jouer Cosmetics
“To play” – that’s what Jouer means in French. And, while Jouer Cosmetics is now best known for its decadent formulas, the brand was first created with unique packaging in mind – packaging that would let you take your beauty must-haves with you on the go.

It’s no wonder that the brand has its name “Jouer”, because its playful click-and-snap cosmetic packaging was what drew consumers to it.
Jouer Cosmetics started off selling beauty products in compacts that would allow you to connect your favourite ones like Lego bricks; you can snap your go-to lipstick together with your everyday eyeshadow and blush shades, so your makeup palette was created completely by you.
The shift in focus from packaging to great formulas
Founder Christina Zilber became obsessed with the quality of Jouer’s formulas and colours more than packaging, which was her starting vision.
Today, Jouer Cosmetics products are created with high-quality ingredients, and a lot of thought goes into their making. Zilber mentioned in an interview, “I worked on liquid lipsticks for like, I wanna say three years,” as she detailed how long she takes to test her products.

Yes, you might still be able to find the Lego-style Jouer palettes on online retailers such as Amazon but, now, with the brand’s new sleek and minimalistic designs, you wouldn’t just be falling in love with the gorgeous packaging.
You’ll also be completely swept away by the Jouer Cosmetics’ lavish formulas.
Clean, vegan-friendly, and gluten-free makeup

Jouer Cosmetics doesn’t just toss the term “clean beauty” around without being accountable for it too. They list on their website how exactly they define clean formulas, so you can check the list to clarify what is left out of your products.
What does the brand leave out? Talc, parabens, mineral oil, gluten, sulfates, phthalates, TEA, synthetic fragrances over 1%, formaldehyde, coal tar, hydroquinone, triclosan, triclocarban, aluminium salt, carbon black, lead, and animal fat.

The brand offers a generous selection of products from each category, such as its Crème Eyeshadow Crayon that’s gluten-free, and Blush & Bloom Cheek + Lip Duo that’s tagged vegan-friendly.
