Welcome to Kaleidos

Kaleidos comes from kaleidoscope. To us, beauty is dynamic. It thrives on diversity, progression, and the courage to be unapologetically individual. Without these, there is no true beauty. 

Based in Shanghai, we are a team of diverse, self-expressive, global citizens. We believe in the capacity for personal empowerment through makeup. We are one of the first makeup companies to be entirely cross-border in vision and identities. This is what makes Kaleidos unique, and has influenced its founders to look far beyond their own homes for inspiration. 

Now, we’re bringing that vision to Austin, TX - and we’re building a small dream team. If you're a beauty lover, bold doer, or content dreamer, we'd love for you to help shape our next chapter.

If you're interested in any of the roles below, please follow the application instructions listed under each position.

Your energy

Entrepreneurial - You see opportunity and run with it. You take initiative and bring "get-it-done" energy to everything you do.

Grounded - You stand strong with professionalism and purpose, while staying open-minded and team-driven - even in ambiguity.

Curious - You embrace change and explore new territory with a growth mindset.

Inclusive & Supportive – You listen, uplift, give and receive feedback with care. You help build the kind of safe, joyful workspace you’d want to stay in.

Authentic – You’re true to yourself, confident in your expression, and transparent in your communication. Your individuality is part of what makes Kaleidos shine.

Fun & Full of Self-Love – You bring lightness to life and work. You care for yourself deeply - because how you love yourself teaches the world how to love you.
