Laravel Developer

Who We Are

Adore Beauty was put on the web way back in April 2000 by self-confessed beauty-junkie Kate Morris. Having grown up in Launceston, Tasmania, Kate lamented that all the hottest beauty products mentioned in magazines were only available to those who lived in big cities.

So Kate innovated! She created an online beauty boutique that would make beauty products accessible to anyone, anywhere, anytime and to create a place where customers felt comfortable and in control of their own beauty journey.

Today, Adore Beauty is a bustling ASX listed, quick-paced, passion-driven company employing approx 170+ team members. Every team member at Adore Beauty brings something special to the company and its culture - that's what makes us unique. The team at Adore Beauty all live and breathe the company values: we work for each other; we do the right thing; we are always growing, and we bring a positive energy to work each day. Does this sound like you? Great!
