Mettalusso + BurnedBeauty2018 Lipstick Collaboration
In 2018, Tonya Meisenbach’s life changed forever. 3rd degree burns throughout 30% of her body.
After surviving devastating injuries and years of recovery, she began rebuilding not only her physical strength — but also her identity, confidence, and relationship with beauty itself.
Known to many as @BurnedBeauty2018, Tonya has inspired thousands through her honesty, emotional strength, makeup artistry, and unwavering message of hope:
“Love y’all, and remember — no matter what you are going through, this too shall pass.”
Throughout her healing journey, one thing remained deeply personal to her — her signature deep red lipstick shade.
For years, wearing it again felt impossible.
Our lipstick collaboration is a huge moment in Tonya's wellness journey. Her signature look - a deep red lipstick. Due to her injuries, she had to give it up.
Until now!
The lipstick, with shade name, 'Tonya’s Story', reflects her signature style from before the accident. After much rehab and reconstruction, Tonya is now able to wear her beloved and empowering shade once more.
“This collaboration is so much more than a lipstick to me,” says Tonya Meisenbach. “It’s about reclaiming my true self on my own terms now and it confirms that self-expression is powerful for everyone. I love working with Mettalusso, because it is a brand that knows love and beauty are meant for everyone.”
Created in collaboration with Mettalusso founder Christine Flagler, “Tonya’s Story” is more than a lipstick shade.
It represents reclaiming confidence, femininity, identity, and self-expression on one’s own terms.
This classic deep red with blue undertones reflects the signature shade Tonya wore before her injuries — and now, after years of healing and reconstruction, she is finally able to wear once again.
The result is a deeply personal collaboration rooted in courage, compassion, beauty, and emotional resilience.
