WYL

A whisper from our ancestors and a reminder to yourself: show up, shine, and never underestimate the power of being seen.

Where’s Your Lipstick? A question. A legacy. A quiet revolution.


Our Mission

To help women and girls show up with confidence, care, and a sense of legacy.

Our Vision

A generation of women and girls who know their worth and show up for themselves.


What Is WYL?

WYL stands for Where’s Your Lipstick? Words Maria’s mother used to say when she saw her. It wasn’t just about makeup. It was her way of saying:

WYL reclaims that tradition not just for grown women, but for the next generation of girls who are still learning how to believe in themselves.


What We Do

WYL is part tribute, part toolkit. It’s a growing initiative designed to support:

  • Young girls starting in middle school who are navigating self-image, confidence, and identity
  • Mothers and mentors who want to pass down strength, style, and wisdom
  • Women of all ages reclaiming their voice and presence after being silenced or overlooked

We plan to develop:

  • Confidence kits for teen girls
  • WYL Signature Lip Collection inspired by boldness, softness, and heritage
  • Workshops & circles for schools, mother-daughter events, and community groups
  • Wearable affirmations—tees, pins, stickers—that ask one simple question:
    Where’s Your Lipstick?

Why It Matters

Too many girls stop seeing their own beauty by the time they’re twelve.
Too many women forget how to take care of themselves while caring for everyone else.
Too many of us need to be reminded of what we carry.

WYL is not just a brand. It’s a mirror. It’s a legacy. It’s a way back to ourselves.


Our Signature Message

Act as if.
Wear the crown they can’t see.
And if you’re wondering what’s missing ask yourself:
Where’s Your Lipstick?


Partner With Us

We’re looking to connect with:

  • Middle and high schools for girl empowerment programs
  • Youth mentors, counselors, and women’s groups
  • Mothers, aunties, grandmothers who want to leave more than money. They want to leave a message.
