History
Trinidad-born Dexter Phillip, a fashion consultant by trade, founded DEX New York in March 2008 together with partner Daniel Padnos. It consists of his mineral cosmetics line and a private beauty-and-photography studio in 65th Street in downtown Manhattan.[3] The company moved its studio to a 750-square-foot space in Fifth Avenue in 2010, with Lady Gaga as their first client.[4] The new studio is meant to be exclusive, as it can only accommodate two clients at a time and does not have a street-side window to ward off paparazzi.[5] Meanwhile, DEX New York Cosmetics has expanded into over 120 products,[6] including mineral-based skin products, powders, eye shadows, lipsticks, and sunless tanner.
