It has been a world wind week for Sleek since last week’s launch party where they served cocktails and touch-ups to New York’s top beauty influencers and drag queens. Violet Chachki was the star of the night and raved about the product line and said, “What I love from Sleek is their highlighters. They have two creams and two powders. You put the cream on first and the powder second. It’s like crazy!” Chachki is in love with the campaign and considers makeup as ammunition to face the world. “Using makeup as a tool to face the world and face society and combat any insecurities that you have and realize there’s a part of you that is glamorous and gorgeous and beautiful. Makeup is a tool that helps you get there.”
