War Paint pitched make-up built specifically for men in series 17, with founder Daniel Gray after seventy thousand pounds for just twelve percent of the business, a deal that went to Peter Jones and Tej Lalvani.

Older accounts describe the brand trading in dozens of countries.

A Cultural Argument As Much As A Product Pitch

At the time of filming, most retailers still treated men's make-up as a curiosity rather than a real category, and Gray leaned less on the product's mechanics than on a cultural argument, that the stigma around men wearing it was simply out of date.

Asking for seventy thousand pounds while only giving up twelve percent is a confident structure, the kind of split that suggests a founder who believed the category itself, not just the product, was about to become mainstream.

From Curiosity To A Global Footprint

Notes on file describe the brand selling through its own site and building a retail presence that reportedly now spans more than eighty countries, with no Amazon storefront of its own.

For a product line most retailers would have dismissed as a novelty before this pitch aired, reaching that scale counts as a genuinely strong result.

Note: Based on the public record; company situations can change, so treat this as a snapshot.
