The collection is comprised of three dual-use batons: Cleanse & Prime, Sculpt & Shine, Hydrate & Glow, and two highly-pigmented Lip & Cheek Stain add-ons to complement one’s makeup game.
Founded by global entrepreneur Vadhera Potts, The Ready Set Jet Academy is a virtual and in-person space in India giving students, (most of whom consist of acid attack survivors, burn victims, widows, orphans, girls who have fallen into human trafficking and LBGT members), job training and leadership skills related to the beauty industry to help break the cycle of poverty. Upon completion of the academy, the girls and women are able to start working as professional make-up artists in the wedding, spa and salon industries, or as entrepreneurs ready to start their own ventures.
