About the Job
Founded in late 2016 by Aimee Connolly, Sculpted by Aimee is an Irish-born beauty brand with a global vision. Aimee, who began her journey as a makeup artist after earning a bachelor’s degree in business, spotted a gap in the market for makeup that was both easy to apply and highly effective. Combining her passion for beauty and business acumen, she launched Sculpted by Aimee to create products that simplify beauty routines without compromising results.
