Once makeup artist Kirsten Kjær Weis decided to create an organic line,
her biggest challenge wasn’t what went into her formulations but what
housed them. “I wanted recyclable packaging, but it always looks cheap,”
the Danish native says with a sigh. So she went in the opposite
direction, turning to designer Marc Atlan—who has created fragrance
bottles for Comme des Garçons and Helmut Lang—to work on her collectible
metal and enamel casings, which are meant to last a lifetime. If only
the eye shadows, blushes, and lip tints of the Kjær Weis line were as
permanent. “When you’re working with raw materials, every batch is
different,” says Kjær Weis. “I’m constantly adjusting.” Available at
