#StopAsianHate: What You Can Do to Make A Difference

Mar 24, 2021

Hi Purlisse~stas! We’re coming at you with some very serious news…

As a proud Asian/woman-owned brand, we are beyond devastated to hear about the recent outbreak of hate crimes against the Asian Community. There have been over 3,800 Anti-Asian incidents recorded in the past year alone, mostly against women. Our hearts go out to all of those who have been affected, and we’re here to take a stand.

"It's not cool to be racist. It's cowardly to attack innocent, defenseless women and senior citizens.

Imagine this happening to someone you love? Because these innocent victims WERE someone’s mom, dad, grandmother, grandfather, sister, brother, son, daughter, wife, husband: a loved one. #StandWithAsians to #StopAsianHate" -Jennifer Yen

As a pledge to our support for the AAPI Community, Purlisse is donating 100% of the net proceeds from our newest launch— the Blush Glow BB Cheek Color— starting today until the end of March.
