Q: What is the meaning behind the name 2•4•1 Cosmetics?
Growing up as twins, strangers would jokingly ask: “Are you guys 2 FOR 1?” The surface response: No, there is no discount when it comes to our self worth, but our mother did have 1 pregnancy that birthed 2 girls. Filed under: 2 for 1.
As we got older the question became deeper for us.
People are fascinated with twins as they naturally draw attention without trying but with attention comes comparisons. People would ask questions like: “Stand next to each other so I can see the difference.” “Who’s the smart twin?" "Who’s the nice twin?" "When you look in the mirror, can you tell who is who?” This got us thinking: why can’t you be 2 equally powerful attributes in 1?
The answer: You can embrace both.
The 2•4•1 brand is a reflection of our belief that women are both brains and beauty —we don’t have to choose one or the other —we can be both.
