Eric JimenezCo-Founder and Chief Retail Executive Officer,Color Me. A veteran of the beauty industry, Eric has been considered one of the foremost authorities in skincare and color for over 25 years. His most recent venture, Color Me, a new device designed to help women flawlessly apply foundation, is set to revolutionize the way complexion is approached. Eric’s introduction to the beauty industry was at age five, when he would accompany his mother selling Avon products. After a brief foray into the accessories world, where he created cowboy hats coveted by some of the biggest names in Country Music, Eric jumped into the beauty business. Initially working with niche luxury brands, Eric went on to launch Crème de la Mer. After nailing the basics of luxury skincare, Eric turned his attention to color. In 1995 he joined then fledgling makeup brand, Benefit Cosmetics. During his ten years with the company, Eric grew to become Executive Vice President of Sales and Beauty Ambassador for the brand, turning many of the products into household names. Looking for something a bit edgier, Eric leveraged his skills in retail and product knowledge to become the Chief Retail Sales Officer Worldwide and Global Makeup Artist for Urban Decay. There, he spearheaded new product launches and brand initiatives, not to mention prominent press events, red carpet premiers and fashion shows. Eight years later, after witnessing countless women struggle to achieve an airbrushed look without the tools or know-how, Eric presented an innovative new product concept to his friend, now business partner Leah Ashley. From there, Color Me was born and is redefining the way we apply makeup. A credit to his industry Eric has been featured in prominent publications such as Vogue Singapore, Prestige Magazine, Grazia France, Harper’s Bazaar Singapore and Straits Times, as well as on broadcast outlets including ABC, NBC and Fox. When he’s not traveling the world or working on new beauty innovations, Eric enjoys Latin dance (in fact, he was once an award winning dancer), cooking, collecting art and spending time by the water in Newport Beach. He lives in San Francisco, California.
