CTZN Cosmetics, the global award-winning, cruelty-free, vegan-friendly cosmetics brand known for having the most inclusive range of nude lipsticks on the market, is excited to appoint celebrity makeup artist and industry icon, Sir John, as its new Chief Creative Officer.

As the newest addition to CTZN Cosmetics’ Board of Directors, Sir John, best known for his work on Beyoncé, Naomi Campbell, Karlie Kloss, Margot Robbie, Zendaya, Barbie, and many more, will utilize his unique and creative approach to beauty to help lead product launches and inform future brand growth with his visionary leadership. Sir John has also acquired an equity stake in CTZN Cosmetics Inc., the owner of the CTZN brand.

“We are thrilled to welcome Sir John as CTZN Cosmetics’ new Chief Creative Officer,” said Aleena Khan, CTZN Cosmetics co-founder and head of marketing. “His talent and industry experience will be an invaluable asset to our company as we continue to grow and expand our brand globally. As a fellow champion of diversity, we can’t think of a better partner to join us in our mission of redefining inclusivity in beauty.”

“Embarking on this new chapter with CTZN is exciting for me both as a creative and entrepreneur. With a shared love of diverse spaces and a passion for championing voices that move the needle forward, I couldn’t be more excited about the future of our partnership,” said Sir John.

With over two decades of experience, Sir John is a dynamic force in the beauty and fashion industry, creating iconic looks with his signature use of color, luminance, and inclusive style. He developed his reputation as a Global Artist creating statement looks while working with industry moguls Pat McGrath and Charlotte Tilbury backstage at fashion shows worldwide. That experience provided Sir John with a springboard into an elite tier of globally recognized leaders in the fashion and beauty industry. Leading entertainment and sports agency Creative Artists Agency (CAA), along with Ross Elliot of Animal Farm Creative Management, orchestrated the deal with CTZN on behalf of its client Sir John.

Since launching just over two years ago, CTZN Cosmetics focused on redefining inclusivity – ensuring each product released allows every ctzn of the world to feel seen. From more neutral selections such as the NUDIVERSAL or GLOBALM lines to bolder offerings like their new Code Red Collection – the brand makes it their mission to guarantee the perfect shade for every complexion within every collection they launch. Their best-in-class cosmetics have won multiple awards, including two consecutive Allure Best of Beauty awards for “Best Neutral Lip” (for dark skin and medium skin tones) as well as a Pure Beauty Award for the “Best New Lip Product” category. The company recently expanded its retail presence in North America and is now available online and in-store at Nordstrom, as well as Thirteen Lune/JCPenney Beauty. The brand is also available in Europe, Australia, and the GCC.

About CTZN Cosmetics:

CTZN (pronounced Citizen) Cosmetics is a revolutionary makeup brand breaking barriers within the beauty industry, co-founded by Los Angeles-born, Dubai-raised, ethnically Pakistani sisters Aleena, Aleezeh, and Naseeha Khan. As a brand intended for all CTZNs of the world, CTZN’s focus is primarily on the underrepresentation of demographic groups by mainstream makeup companies. The brand’s ‘deeper why’ is to enhance cultural awareness through beauty, demonstrated through their Culture-torial segments on Instagram where you can learn about someone’s culture while watching them perform their makeup routine. All CTZN products are strictly genderless, cruelty-free, paraben-free, and talc-free. The brand began as a DTC brand, and since its launch has expanded into other e-tail platforms as well as physical retail locations. For more information, please visit http://www.ctzncosmetics.com.
