General Questions

What in the 7 hells is "Nerd Makeup?"

"Nerd Makeup" is the result of fusing fandom and nerdery with the love of cosmetics. The Nerd Misfits firmly believe that hours of raiding is serious business, tabletop campaigns are the best vacations, and comic books are therapeutic handbooks to life. Being a grownup is overrated, but y'know what? Wake up every day and take what is yours with glitter, colors of the rainbow, and awesomeness!


Are there local places where I can find Espionage Products?

You're bound to find us somewhere! We currently have a number of comic book and gaming stores that carry our products. You can check out this map to locate a store near you, shop Nerd Makeup and Nerd Manicures online, or take a look at our upcoming events!


Are you going to be at a convention in my neighborhood?

The Nerd Misfits of Espionage Cosmetics are travelers by nature. Perhaps you'll see us soon! You can check out our events page to see if we'll be in your neck of the woods this year.


What's with all of the glitter?

We hate to sound like a Mariah Carey song, but glitter got us feeling all kinds of emotions.

Behind the scenes, the Nerd Misfits are actually run by their real-life aristocats. As such, we do not test on animals or use any ingredients that have been tested on animals. All of the Espionage products are cruelty free and bursting with furbaby appreciation. When time allows between projects, we continue to work through the various pieces of the long, but certainly worthwhile process of becoming Leaping Bunny certified. Until then, we are Leaping Kitty certified.
