Jerrod Blandino, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Too Faced:
Jerrod Blandino is the Co-Founder of Too Faced, a beauty brand that was launched with Co-Founder Jeremy Johnson in 1998. Blandino got his start working behind the Estée Lauder department makeup counter in the 1990s. Working one-on-one with clients allowed him to quickly discover the transformative power makeup had on women. While he loved working behind the counter, one of his main goals was to create a fun & unique makeup brand that would inject joy back into an industry that had become rigidly led by rules. With a credit card, a laser-like focus, and a dream to celebrate and empower women, Too Faced was born.
From the very beginning, Blandino’s out-of-the-box creativity helped pave the way, and the brand quickly grew to a global, multimillion-dollar business. Over twenty-two years after creating Too Faced, in 2016 Estée Lauder acquired the company. Blandino remains day-to-day on the brand and is continuously launching new products as the Co-Founder & Chief Creative Officer.
Aside from beauty, Blandino’s other greatest passion in life is baking and many of Too Faced's product names are a subtle nod to this. In 2019, he began baking on a more serious note and started an IGTV series, #BakeupwithJerrod, which racked up thousands of views and featured celebrity guests. In 2021, he launched his YouTube channel, Bakeup with Jerrod, where viewers can tune in weekly for baking how-tos and inspiration.
