Healing With Makeup
For over 30 years, Sweet LeiLani has led paramedical and corrective makeup—bridging skincare and cosmetics with clinically proven, healing formulas. Founder LeiLani has worked with top dermatologists and surgeons, helping thousands restore confidence while addressing scarring, post-surgical recovery, hyperpigmentation, and reactive skin.
At Sweet LeiLani, beauty is wellness—where innovation, skin health, and empowerment meet.
“I’ve seen makeup support emotional and physical healing, inspiring me to create products that truly heal, protect, and restore.”
Our skin absorbs everything we apply, influencing overall health. Many conventional products contain endocrine disruptors like parabens and phthalates, which can impact hormone balance and well-being. Choosing healthier formulas matters.
LeiLani wasn't content to remain a hair and makeup designer for film and television. She went on to become one of Canada's few Certified Paramedical Makeup and Tattoo Specialists.
Working from a spare bedroom in her home, LeiLani volunteered with the Cancer Society to cut and style wigs, and to teach people how to cover and camouflage skin discoloration due to the side effects from undergoing cancer treatments.
At this time, the makeup industry focused strictly on glamour, and the makeup she used on-set was too harsh for post-operative skin. No one addressed skin issues that men and women struggle with.
These patients inspired LeiLani to vigilantly tread forward with a scientific approach creating plant derived creations of beauty products that incorporate the medicinal value not usually found in cosmetics. Complexion products safe to use while under going chemo and radiation treatment.
Thus began the search for gentle makeup, infused with natural plant based skincare. Ingredients that would work on sensitive, post-operative skin, and included beneficial ingredients like Grape Seed, Green Tea & Rose Hip.
LeiLani, now working with burn patients as well, needed products that allowed the skin to breathe, as well as providing incredible coverage, yet didn’t look "mask-like".
“Sometimes when you can’t find a solution to something, you just have to create it yourself! I have always known how makeup transforms us on the outside, however, over the years I’ve come to realize how makeup transforms us on the inside. It’s more then makeup, it’s therapy.”
