Our Mission

Empowering Education & Community

  • Kecia Littman's legacy includes the creation of Hawaii's first comprehensive beauty curriculum in partnership with MAKEUP Designory in 2009. This commitment to education, coupled with her extensive work training makeup artists and estheticians, demonstrates a dedication to empowering individuals and fostering a community of informed, confident beauty consumers. This translates to a brand that not only delivers exceptional products but also provides unparalleled guidance and support.

Authentic Cultural Connection

As a Native Hawaiian, Kecia Littman infuses LEI WAI Beauty with the spirit of aloha and a deep respect for Hawaiian culture. This is reflected in our sourcing practices, our brand philosophy, and our commitment to celebrating the diverse beauty of all individuals. We offer more than just cosmetics; we offer a beauty experience rooted in heritage and mindful living.

Proven Digital Engagement

Kecia Littman has cultivated a strong online presence through collaborations with industry leaders like Sephora and Allure, and a live collaboration with the makeup artist from Bridgerton. This digital savvy allows LEI WAI Beauty to connect directly with a global audience, build brand awareness, and foster a loyal community of customers who value both artistry and sustainability.

The Founder

FOUNDER - Kecia Littman

I’ve spent over 24 years in the beauty industry from backstage at fashion weeks in New York, London, Milan, and Paris to working alongside icons like British makeup artist Pat McGrath and Alex Box. As a licensed esthetician and Global Artist and Educator, I’ve seen how makeup can do more than enhance appearance, it can restore confidence, renew energy, and reconnect us to ourselves.

My journey has taken me from film and television sets to editorial shoots for magazines like Vogue, and into the makeup chairs of incredible women like Mariska Hargitay, Taimane Gardner, and Shiho Yano. But some of the most meaningful moments have come in quiet spaces. I strive to help all feel seen, especially in seasons of loss or transition.

LEI WAI Beauty was born from that deeper purpose. It’s my way of offering more than just a quality product but also an invitation to pause, care for yourself, and rediscover your own light. Every formula is made with intention, rooted in respect, and crafted to support everyone in every chapter of their journey.
