Darkness Cosmetics is proudly queer-owned and built on the belief that beauty has no rules, no gender, and no boundaries. We celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and everyone who uses makeup to express, transform, perform, and unapologetically be themselves.

Mile High FX/Darkness Cosmetics made history in 2002 as the first Special Effects Makeup brand to achieve Leaping Bunny Certification. From the very beginning, we’ve believed creating monsters should never mean being cruel to animals.

Every Darkness Cosmetics and Mile High FX makeup product is 100% vegan, formulated without animal-derived ingredients. Bold beauty, professional performance, and incredible transformations—without compromising the values behind what we create.

Every Darkness Cosmetics and Mile High FX makeup product is proudly gluten free. From everyday color to professional SFX and theatrical makeup, we’re committed to thoughtful formulations without gluten-containing ingredients—because extraordinary creativity starts with products you can feel confident using.
