But there's still so much about this brand that most diehards don't even know. Thankfully, its founders share the brand's story on its website and we found some pretty suprising stuff -- like, Smashbox actually started as a photo studio in L.A. #MindBlowing

According to the Smashbox website, 'smashbox' is slang for a box-style camera used for quick snapshots. That's certainly a fitting name for a company that started as a photo studio, right?

Smashbox's name now takes a new meaning. The brand promotes itself as an iconic photo studio and cosmetics brand that's known for "empowering women everywhere to be their most kickass beautiful selves," according to its website.
