The Story Behind Shade Melissa (Read the Blog Here)

When Melissa Virdo partnered with Cheekbone Beauty, choosing the charity was easy.

As a makeup artist, Melissa has always believed beauty is about far more than appearance. Throughout her career, she's seen how even a small act of self-care can help someone feel seen, supported, and more like themselves.

That belief led her to Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Having volunteered her time providing makeup applications for mothers staying at Ronald McDonald House, Melissa witnessed firsthand how meaningful even a few quiet moments of care could be. These were mothers whose entire world revolved around caring for their children. Offering them a moment for themselves became a reminder that they mattered, too.

Sustain Lipstick in shade Melissa was inspired by Joy—the joy found in connection, resilience, hope, and caring for one another. It celebrates the moments that bring light, even during life's most difficult chapters, and reflects the belief that beauty can help someone feel seen, cared for, and confident.
