Reina Rebelde Is Makeup for Today’s Latinas: Bold, Glamorous, and Authentic

Reina Rebelde translates to “rebel queen” in English and represents a celebration of Latinas’ powerful cultural dualities. She speaks English y algunas veces Español. She loves being Latina and Americana. She channels both the inner beauty of her Reina and the fierceness of her Rebelde. Reina Rebelde is makeup for modern Latinas and is bold, glamorous, and authentic.

Latina Founder and Creator Regina Merson

The woman behind the award-winning Latina makeup brand is founder Regina Merson. Inspired by Latinas and their collective experience as Reina Rebeldes, she created the first makeup line created for Latinas by a Latina. The brand was launched in late 2016, and was propelled forward last year with the support of the Latina community and by capturing the attention of its first major retail partner, Target.

Merson was born in Guadalajara, Mexico and raised in Dallas, Texas. She is a graduate of Yale University and the University of Chicago Law School. She left her career as a bankruptcy attorney to launch Reina Rebelde, which combines her two loves—cosmetics and her Mexican heritage. She is proud to be carving her own path in beauty world.

Growing up in Mexico, Merson’s passion for makeup started with the telenovela “Rosa Salvaje,” and by sitting at her mother’s feet while watching her get ready to go out with her friends. She’s loved makeup ever since. Merson describes her own makeup collection as a mix of bold and impractical, feminine and luxurious, sexy, severe, and wild.
