The Lip Bar

Downtown flagship of Detroit's own vegan beauty brand on Woodward, with color try-ons, makeup services and a brow bar.

01 / The story of this place

Make time for these

Melissa Butler started The Lip Bar in 2012 by mixing lipstick in her kitchen, then walked away from Wall Street to grow it. Shark Tank turned her down, and the brand is now sold in more than 2,000 stores, including Target and Walmart. The home base is the downtown Detroit flagship on Woodward, opened in fall 2023, stocked with the full vegan, cruelty-free lineup. Swatch shades, book a glam session or a one-on-one lesson, or stop at the brow bar.

  1. Detroit-founded vegan, cruelty-free beauty brand
