Frequently asked questions
Yes. The Breakout Beauty UK programme is completely free for founders to apply, join and participate in.
We're launching the programme on 27th October 2025 and the programme runs for 6 weeks.
The Breakout Beauty UK programme is a mixture of live face-to-face days, and additional virtual workshops. Selected founders will need to be present in London for 2 days in week 1 of the programme, week 3 and week 6 (total of 6 live days). All other sessions and events will be held virtually.
We’re looking for independent, UK-based beauty brand founders with an existing product in the market—think skincare, haircare, makeup, body, fragrance, beauty tools or adjacent categories. You’ll need to have early traction (some sales, strong engagement, or early press) and be ready to scale.
We’re selecting 10 founders to take part in the Breakout Beauty UK programme. These will be the brands we believe are most ready to grow, show up, and stand out.
No, but you’ll need to be able to travel to London for six in-person days over the six-week programme. We’ll give you the dates in advance so you can plan around them.
You should expect to commit around 2–3 days per week during the 6-week programme. This includes face-to-face days, virtual workshops, and optional drop-in support sessions.
There’s no guarantee of investment, but as part of the programme you will meet and get support from Venrex. Venrex is an early-stage venture capital fund which was an early investor in Charlotte Tilbury.
Perfect. This programme is designed with solo and small-team founders in mind. You’ll be surrounded by people who get it, and supported every step of the way.
You must apply in the Breakout Beauty UK website page - link in bio - you can start your application and save it to return to later if need be. Please make sure you provide all the information required before you submit the application.
