 NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the adequacy of all of which consideration is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows: 

 

	 	1.	DEFINITIONS

 The following words and terms shall have the meanings set forth below for
the purposes of this Agreement: 
 “Board of Directors” means the Board of Directors of Holdings. 

“Cause” means (i) a breach by Executive of Executive’s obligations under Section 2.2 (other than as a result of physical
or mental incapacity) which constitutes material nonperformance by Executive of her obligations and duties thereunder, which Executive has failed to remedy after the Board of Directors has given Executive written notice of, and at least fifteen (15)
days to remedy, such breach, (ii) commission by Executive of an act of fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation, willful misconduct or breach of fiduciary duty against the Company (other than acts, such as making personal use of Company office
supplies, as have only a de minimis effect on the Company), (iii) a material breach by Executive of Section 6 of this Agreement, (iv) Executive’s conviction, plea of no contest or nolo contendere, deferred adjudication or unadjudicated
probation for any felony or any crime involving moral turpitude, (v) the failure of Executive to carry out, or comply with, in any material respect, any lawful directive of the Board of Directors (other than any such failure resulting from
Executive’s physical or mental incapacity) which Executive has failed to remedy after the Board of Directors has given Executive written notice of, and at least fifteen (15) days to remedy, such failure, or (vi) Executive’s unlawful use
(including being under the influence) or possession of illegal drugs. For purposes of the previous sentence, no act or failure to act on Executive’s part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by Executive not
in good faith and without reasonable belief that Executive’s action or omission was in the best interest of the Company. 

 “Disability” means Executive’s inability to perform, with or without
reasonable accommodation, the essential functions of her position hereunder for a period of one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days due to mental or physical incapacity, as determined by mutual agreement of a physician selected by the Company or
its insurers and a physician selected by Executive; provided, however, if the opinion of the Company’s physician and Executive’s physician conflict, the Company’s physician and Executive’s physician shall together agree upon a
third physician, whose opinion shall be binding; provided, however, that Executive shall not be considered to have a Disability unless it is also treated as a disability under the Company’s long-term disability policy. 

“Good Reason” means: (i) a material default in the performance of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement; (ii) a
significant diminution of Executive’s responsibilities, duties or authority as Senior Vice President – Chief Marketing Officer, or a material diminution of Executive’s base compensation, unless such diminution is mutually agreed
between Executive and the Company; or (iii) the relocation of Executive’s principal office, without her consent, to a location that is in excess of fifty (50) miles from San Francisco (it being understood and agreed that Executive’s travel
for business purposes shall not be considered such a relocation); provided, however, that Executive’s termination will not be for Good Reason unless (x) Executive has given the Company at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of her
intent to terminate her employment for Good Reason, which notice shall specify the facts and circumstances constituting Good Reason and be given within ninety (90) days of the initial occurrence thereof, (y) the Company has not remedied such facts
and circumstances constituting Good Reason within thirty (30) days following the receipt of such notice, and (z) Executive terminates employment within six (6) months following the expiration of such thirty (30)-day cure period.

“Notice of Termination” means a dated notice that (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied
upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated, (iii) specifies a Termination Date, except
in the case of the Company’s termination of Executive’s employment for Cause, for which the Termination Date may be the date of the notice; provided, however, that Executive has been provided with any applicable cure period,
and (iv) is given in the manner specified in Section 7.2 hereof. With the exception of termination of Executive’s employment due to Executive’s death, any purported termination of Executive’s employment by the Company for any reason,
including without limitation for Cause or Disability, or by Executive for any reason, shall be communicated by a written “Notice of Termination” to the other party. The failure by the Company or Executive to set forth in the Notice of
Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Cause or Good Reason, as applicable, shall not waive any right of the Company or Executive under this Agreement or preclude the Company or Executive from asserting such fact or
circumstance in enforcing the Company’s or Executive’s rights under this Agreement. 
 “Termination Date” means
(i) if Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause or Disability, the date specified in the Notice of Termination, (ii) in the case of termination of employment due to death, the date of Executive’s death, (iii) if either party elects
not to extend the Term of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.1, the close of business on the day immediately preceding the next scheduled Extension Date, or (iv) if Executive’s employment is terminated for any other reason, the date on which
a Notice of Termination is given or as specified in such Notice.

 4 

 
Executive’s estate) to the Company of appropriate supporting documentation for any unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred prior to the Termination Date by Executive pursuant to
Section 4 and in accordance with Company policy; (c) any accrued and unpaid vacation pay, paid within sixty (60) days of the Termination Date; and (d) such employee benefits, if any, to which Executive (or, if applicable, Executive’s estate) or
her dependents may be entitled under the employee benefit plans or programs of the Company, paid in accordance with the terms of the applicable plans or programs (the amounts described in clauses (a) through (d) hereof being referred to as the
“Accrued Rights”). In addition, Executive or her estate shall be entitled to receive (x) in a lump sum in cash within two and one-half (2 1⁄2)
months after the Termination Date (or such earlier date as required by applicable law), the amount of any annual bonus earned for any previously completed fiscal year in accordance with Section 3.2 that has not been paid (the “Accrued
Bonus”); and (y) an amount equal to the product of (i) the fraction of the current fiscal year that has elapsed through the date of Executive’s termination and (ii) the Board-approved annual bonus payout for Executive for such fiscal
year based on actual Company performance for such fiscal year measured following the completion thereof, payable at the time the annual bonus would have been paid to Executive had she remained employed through the end of the such fiscal year (the
“Pro-Rata Bonus”). 
 5.2 Termination by Executive without Good Reason and other than Disability or Death. In
the event Executive terminates her employment for any reason other than Good Reason, Disability or death, Executive shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Rights, but following the Termination Date, Executive shall have no further rights to any
other compensation or benefits under this Agreement, including without limitation any severance or continuation of benefits or otherwise.

5.3 Termination by the Company for Cause. In the event the Company terminates her employment for Cause, Executive shall be
entitled to receive the Accrued Rights, but following the Termination Date, Executive shall have no further rights to any other compensation or benefits under this Agreement, including without limitation any severance or continuation of benefits or
otherwise. 
 5.4 Termination by the Company Other Than for Death, Disability or Cause or by Executive for Good Reason. If
Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company prior to the end of the Term for reasons other than death, Disability or Cause, or by Executive prior to the end of the Term for Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to receive (a) an
amount equal to her Base Salary, payable on a monthly basis, for a period of twelve (12) months following the Termination Date; (b) for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Termination Date that Executive is eligible to elect and does
elect to continue coverage for herself and her eligible dependents under the Company’s group health plans, as applicable, under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, and/or Sections 601 through 608 of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (collectively, “COBRA”), medical and dental coverage as required by COBRA and prompt reimbursement for the premium costs charged to Executive for such COBRA continuation
coverage; provided, however, that (i) such COBRA coverage shall terminate if and to the extent Executive becomes eligible to receive medical and dental coverage from a subsequent employer (and any such eligibility shall be promptly reported to the
Company by Executive) and (ii) the Company’s obligation to reimburse Executive for such premium costs shall cease if, upon the advice of legal 

  
 5 

 
counsel, the Company determines that it would reasonably be expected to be subject to any penalty, excise or other tax for providing discriminatory benefits; provided that, in such event, the
Company shall implement reasonable comparable alternative payments or benefits to Executive that would avoid such penalty, excise tax or other tax; (c) the Accrued Bonus; (d) the Pro-Rata Bonus, provided that Executive has been employed for at least
six (6) months of the fiscal year in which such termination occurs, and (e) the Accrued Rights; provided that the payments described in clauses (a), (b) and (d) shall be subject to Executive’s continued compliance with the provisions of Section
6 and of the release delivered under Section 5.9. 
 5.5 Termination by Mutual Consent. Notwithstanding any of the
foregoing provisions of this Section 5, if at any time during the course of this Agreement the parties by mutual consent decide to terminate Executive’s employment, they may do so by separate agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of
such termination. 
 5.6 Termination by Non-Extension of Term. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the
event either party elects not to extend the Term of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.1 hereto, Executive’s employment with the Company hereunder shall automatically terminate upon expiration of the Term of this Agreement on the Termination
Date. In the event of such non-extension of the Term, unless Executive’s employment is earlier terminated otherwise pursuant to Section 5 hereof, Executive shall be entitled to receive the Accrued
Rights and the Accrued Bonus. Following the Termination Date, Executive shall have no further rights to any other compensation or benefits under this Agreement, including without limitation any severance or continuation of benefits or otherwise.

 5.7 Payment of Severance. Subject to Section 7.13, any severance payments pursuant to Section 5.4(a) hereof shall be
paid commencing on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date (with a lump sum catch-up payment for any installments otherwise payable within sixty (60) days following the Termination Date) and in accordance with the Company’s
standard payroll schedule and practices. 
 5.8 Release of Claims; Offsets. As a condition to the receipt of any
payments of benefits described hereunder subsequent to the termination of the employment of Executive (other than Accrued Rights), Executive shall be required to execute, and not subsequently revoke, within sixty (60) days following the termination
of her employment a release in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company of all claims arising out of her employment or the termination thereof. Subject to the limitations of applicable wage laws, the Company’s obligations to pay the
severance benefits hereunder shall be subject to set-off, counterclaim or recoupment of amounts owed by Executive to the Company or any of its affiliates, except to the extent that the severance benefits constitute “nonqualified deferred
compensation” for purposes of Section 409A (as defined in Section 7.13) and such offset would result in the imposition of tax or other adverse tax consequences under Section 409A. In no event shall Executive be obligated to seek other
employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not Executive obtains other employment. 

5.9 Cooperation with Company after Termination of Employment. Following termination of Executive’s employment
for any reason, Executive shall reasonably cooperate 

  
 6 

 
with the Company in all matters relating to the winding up of her pending work on behalf of the Company including, but not limited to, any litigation in which the Company is involved and the
orderly transfer of any such pending work to other employees of the Company as may be designated by the Company. The Company shall reasonably compensate Executive for services rendered pursuant to this Section 5.9 at a rate to be determined by the
parties. In addition, the Company shall reimburse Executive for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses she incurs in performing any work on behalf of the Company following the termination of her employment.

 

	 	6.	NON-SOLICITATION & NON-COMPETITION 

 6.1
Non-Compete. Executive agrees that during the Term and for one year following the Termination Date (the “Restricted Period”), Executive shall not, anywhere in the areas where the Company conducts business during
the Term (the “Restricted Territory”), directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be an officer or an employee of any business or organization
that, directly or indirectly, develops, processes, packages, markets, promotes or sells color cosmetics or related services in the Restricted Territories (each, a “Restricted Business”). The foregoing shall not restrict Executive
from (a) owning up to five percent (5%) of any class of securities of any person engaged in a Restricted Business if such securities are listed on any national or regional securities exchange or have been registered under Section 12(g) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as long as such securities are held solely as a passive investment and not with a view to influencing, controlling or directing the affairs of such person), or (b) following Executive’s termination
of employment, being an officer, director, employee, shareholder, consultant, contractor, partner, joint venturer, agent, equity owner or acting in another capacity of or for (i) a business that principally sells retail goods (such as Wal-Mart) for which sales of products manufactured by a Restricted Business generate less than ten percent (10%) of its revenue or (ii) a business entity that has multiple lines of business, some of which are not a
Restricted Business, so long as Executive’s services for such entity are restricted so that she will provide no services or other assistance in support of, and will not otherwise be involved with, any Restricted Business conducted by such
entity (except that Executive shall be permitted to serve in a management capacity with responsibility for multiple product lines so long as such responsibility does not cover product lines for which more than 10% of the collective revenues are
generated by a Restricted Business).
 6.2 Non-Solicitation. Executive agrees that during the Restricted Period,
Executive will not, directly or indirectly, for herself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, (i) hire or attempt to hire any person that is an employee of the Company or was within six (6) months prior to the Termination Date;
provided, however, this Section 6.2 (including clause (ii) below) shall not be breached by a solicitation to the general public or through general advertising, and Executive may solicit for employment any person who at the Termination
Date had not been an employee of the Company at any time within six (6) months preceding such date or whose employment with the Company had terminated more than six months prior to Executive’s solicitation of such person or (ii) solicit,
advise or encourage any person, firm, government agency or corporation to withdraw, curtail or cancel its business with the Company. 

  
 7 

 6.3 Non-Disparagement. During the Term and thereafter, Executive agrees that
she will not, at any time, make, directly or indirectly, any oral or written statements that are disparaging of the Company, its products or services, or any of its present or former officers, directors, stockholders or employees (or any of their
respective Affiliates), and the Company shall instruct its Board and executives not to disparage Executive orally or in writing at any time; provided that either party may confer in confidence with its legal representatives and make truthful
statements as required by law.
 6.4 Reasonable Limitation and Severability. The parties agree that the above
restrictions on competition are (i) reasonable given Executive’s role with the Company, and are necessary to protect the interests of the Company and (ii) completely severable and independent agreements supported by good and valuable
consideration and, as such, shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever. The parties further agree that any invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more of such restrictions on competition shall not render
invalid or unenforceable any remaining restrictions on competition. Additionally, should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that the scope of any provision of this Section 6 is too broad to be enforced as written, the parties hereby
authorize the court to reform the provision to such narrower scope as it determines to be reasonable and enforceable and the parties intend that the affected provision be enforced as so amended.

6.5 Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the customers, business connections, customer
lists, procedures, operations, techniques and other aspects of and information about the business of the Company (the “Confidential Information”) are established at great expense and protected as confidential information and provide
the Company with a substantial competitive advantage in conducting its business. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that by virtue of her employment with the Company, she has had access to and will have access to, and has been entrusted
with and will be entrusted with Confidential Information, and that the Company would suffer great loss and injury if Executive would disclose this information or use it in a manner not specifically authorized by the
Company. Therefore, Executive agrees that during the Term and at all times thereafter, she will not, directly or indirectly, either individually or as an employee, agent, partner, shareholder, owner trustee, beneficiary, co-venturer distributor, consultant or in any other capacity, use or disclose or cause to be used or disclosed any Confidential Information, unless and to the extent (i) that any such information becomes generally
known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of Executive’s acts or omissions, (ii) authorized in writing by the Board of Directors or compelled by legal process (provided that Executive provides the Company with advance
notice adequate to afford the Company reasonable opportunity to limit or prevent such disclosure), or (iii) use or disclosure is to an employee of the Company or a person to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with
the performance by Executive of her duties as an employee or director of the Company. Executive shall deliver to the Company at the termination of the Term, or at any other time the Company may request, all memoranda, notes, plans,
records, reports, computer tapes, printouts and software and other documents and data (and copies thereof) relating to the Confidential Information or Work Product (as defined below) which she may then possess or have under her control,
provided that Executive shall be entitled to retain her telephone, address and other contact directories subject to compliance with Sections 6.1 through 6.3. Executive acknowledges and agrees that all inventions, innovations, improvements,
developments, methods, designs, analyses, drawings, 

  
 8 

 
reports and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable) that relate to the Company’s actual or anticipated business and that are conceived, developed or made by Executive
while employed by the Company and during work hours or by the use of the facilities or Confidential Information of the Company (“Work Product”) belong to the Company.

 7.6 Governing Law. To the extent not preempted by federal law, the validity
and effect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be construed and determined in accordance with the law of California.

7.7 Arbitration. 

(a) Except with respect to disputes and claims under Section 6 (which the parties hereto may pursue in any court of competent jurisdiction as
specified herein and with respect to which each party shall bear the cost of its own attorneys’ fees and expenses, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law), each party hereto agrees that arbitration, pursuant to the procedures
set forth in the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) as adopted and effective as of June 1, 1997 or such later version as may then be in effect) (the “AAA
Rules”), shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any claim or dispute (“Claim”) arising out of or relating to the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and the employment of Executive by
the Company (including any Claim regarding employment discrimination, sexual harassment, termination and discharge), whether such Claim arose or the facts on which such Claim is based occurred prior to or after the execution and delivery of this
Agreement.
 (b) The parties hereto agree that (i) one arbitrator shall be appointed pursuant to the AAA Rules to conduct any such
arbitration, (ii) all meetings of the parties and all hearings with respect to any such arbitration shall take place in Oakland, California and (iii) each party to the arbitration shall bear its own costs and expenses (including all attorneys’
fees and expenses, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law) and all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding (such as filing fees, the arbitrator’s fees, hearing expenses, etc.) shall be borne equally by the parties
hereto; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall, in the award, allocate all such costs and expenses against the party who did not prevail.

(c) In addition, the parties hereto agree that (i) the arbitrator shall have no authority to make any decision, judgment, ruling, finding,
award or other determination that does not conform to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (as executed and delivered by the parties hereto), (ii) the arbitrator shall have no greater authority to award any relief than a court having proper
jurisdiction and (iii) the arbitrator shall have no authority to commit an Error of Law (as defined below) in its decision, judgment, ruling, finding, award or other determination, and on appeal from or motion to vacate or confirm such decision,
judgment, ruling, finding, award or other determination, a court having proper jurisdiction may vacate any such decision, judgment, ruling, finding, award or other determination to the extent containing an Error of Law. For purposes of this
Agreement, an “Error of Law” means any decision, judgment, ruling, finding, award or other determination that is inconsistent with the laws governing this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.6. Any decision, judgment, ruling, finding,
award or other determination of the arbitrator and any information disclosed in the course of any arbitration hereunder (collectively, the “Arbitration Information”) shall be kept confidential by the parties subject to Section
7.7(d), and any appeal from or motion to vacate or confirm such decision, judgment, ruling, finding, award or other determination shall be filed under seal if permitted by the court.

(d) In the event that any party or such party’s affiliates, associates or representatives is requested or required (by oral question or
request for information or documents 

  
 10 

 
in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Arbitration Information (the “Disclosing Party”), such
Disclosing Party shall notify the other party promptly of the request or requirement so that the other party may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 7.7. If, in the absence of a protective
order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Disclosing Party or any of its affiliates, associates or representatives believes in good faith, upon the advice of legal counsel, that it is compelled to disclose any such Arbitration Information,
such Disclosing Party may disclose such portion of the Arbitration Information as it believes in good faith, upon the advice of legal counsel, it is required to disclose; provided that the Disclosing Party shall use reasonable efforts to obtain, at
the request and expense of the other party, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such portion of the Arbitration Information required to be disclosed as the other party shall designate. Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 7.7 to the contrary, the parties shall have no obligation to keep confidential any Arbitration Information that becomes generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of the disclosing
party’s acts or omissions or the acts or omissions of such party’s affiliates, associates or representatives. The parties agree that, subject to the right of any party to appeal or move to vacate or confirm any decision, judgment, ruling,
finding, award or other determination of an arbitration as provided in this Section 7.7, the decision, judgment, ruling, finding, award or other determination of any arbitration under the AAA Rules shall be final, conclusive and binding on all of
the parties hereto; provided, however, nothing in this Section 7.7 shall prohibit any party hereto from instituting litigation to enforce any final decision, judgment, ruling, finding, award or other determination of the arbitration. 

7.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains all of the terms agreed upon by the Company, Holdings and Executive with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements and communications between the parties dealing with such subject matter, whether oral or written, including without limitation, the Prior Agreement, and all such prior
agreements, arrangements and communications are hereby canceled and terminated. To the extent there is any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any prior employment or consulting agreement,
including, without limitation, the Prior Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the transferees, successors and assigns of the Company, including any company with which the Company may merge or consolidate. 

7.10 Headings. Numbers and titles to Sections hereof are for information purposes only and, where inconsistent with the text, are to be
disregarded. 
 7.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, including by facsimile or other
electronic transmission, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which when taken together, shall be and constitute one and the same instrument. 

7.12 Specific Enforcement; Remedies. The provisions of Section 6 of this Agreement are to be specifically enforced if not performed
according to their terms. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that the Company would be 

  
 11 

 
irreparably damaged and there would be no adequate remedy at law for Executive’s breach of Section 6 of this Agreement and further acknowledge that the Company may seek entry of a temporary
restraining order or preliminary injunction, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, to enforce the provisions thereof, without the Company being required to post a bond or other security therefor. In addition, in the
event of a material violation by Executive of the provisions of Section 6, any severance being paid to Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise shall immediately cease, and any severance previously paid to Executive shall be immediately
repaid to the Company. 
 7.13 Taxes & IRC Section 409A Matters. The Company may withhold from any payment hereunder such state,
federal or local income, employment or other taxes and other legally mandated withholdings as it reasonably deems appropriate. The Company makes no representation about the tax treatment or impact of any payment(s) hereunder. The intent of the
parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code, as amended (“Section 409A”), to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be
interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (i) if at the time of Executive’s termination of employment with the Company, Executive is a “specified employee” as defined
in Section 409A and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such termination of employment is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, then
the Company will defer the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to Executive) until the date that is six (6) months following
Executive’s termination of employment with the Company (or the earliest date as is permitted under Section 409A); (ii) if any other payments of money or other benefits due to Executive hereunder could cause the application of an accelerated or
additional tax under Section 409A, such payments or other benefits shall be deferred if deferral will make such payment or other benefits compliant under Section 409A, or otherwise such payment or other benefits shall be restructured, to the extent
possible, in a manner determined by the Company that does not cause such an accelerated or additional tax; (iii) to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A, Executive shall not be considered
to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of this Agreement and no payment shall be due to Executive under this Agreement until Executive would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company
within the meaning of Section 409A; and (iv) each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, which constitutes deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, shall be construed as a separate identified
payment for purposes of Section 409A. To the extent required to avoid an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, amounts reimbursable to Executive under this Agreement shall be paid to Executive on or before the last day of the year
following the year in which the expense was incurred and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement (and in-kind benefits provided to Executive) during any one year may not affect amounts reimbursable or provided in any subsequent year, or be
subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Neither the Company nor any of its employees or representatives shall have any liability to Executive with respect to Section 409A. 

  
 12 

 7.14 Survival. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all covenants,
representations and warranties, express or implied, in addition to the provisions of Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement, shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

7.15 Indemnification and Insurance. The Company shall indemnify Executive to the full extent provided for in its corporate Bylaws and
to the maximum extent that the Company indemnifies any of its other directors and senior executive officers, and she will be entitled to the protection of any insurance policies the Company may elect to maintain generally for the benefit of its
directors and senior executive officers against all costs, charges, liabilities and expenses incurred or sustained by her in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which she may be made a party by reason of her being or having been a
director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its affiliates or her serving or having served any other enterprise, plan or trust as a director, officer, employee or fiduciary at the request of the Company or any of its affiliates (other
than any dispute, claim or controversy arising under or relating to this Agreement (except for this Section 7.15)). The Company will enter into an indemnification agreement with Executive in the standard form that it has or will adopt for the
benefit of its other directors and senior executive officers. The provisions of this Section 7.15 shall survive any termination of Executive’s employment or any termination of this Agreement. 

7.16 Section 280G. In the event that it shall be determined that any payment or distribution to or for the benefit of Executive under
this Agreement or under any other Company plan, contract or agreement would, but for the effect of this Section 7.16, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax
(collectively, such excise tax, together with any such interest or penalties, the “Excise Tax”), then, at the election of Executive, in the event that the after-tax value of all Payments (as defined below) to Executive (such
after-tax value to reflect the deduction of the Excise Tax and all income or other taxes on such Payments) would, in the aggregate, be less than the after-tax value to Executive of the Safe Harbor Amount (as defined below), (1) the cash portions of
the Payments payable to Executive under this Agreement shall be reduced, in the order in which they are due to be paid, until the Parachute Value (as defined below) of all Payments paid to Executive, in the aggregate, equals the Safe Harbor Amount,
and (2) if the reduction of the cash portions of the Payments, payable under this Agreement, to zero would not be sufficient to reduce the Parachute Value of all Payments to the Safe Harbor Amount, then any cash portions of the Payments payable to
Executive under any other plans shall be reduced, in the order in which they are due to be paid, until the Parachute Value of all Payments paid to Executive, in the aggregate, equals the Safe Harbor Amount, and (3) if the reduction of all cash
portions of the Payments, payable pursuant to this Agreement and otherwise, to zero would not be sufficient to reduce the Parachute Value of all Payments to the Safe Harbor Amount, then non-cash portions of the Payments shall be reduced, in the
order in which they are due to be paid, until the Parachute Value of all Payments paid to Executive, in the aggregate, equals the Safe Harbor Amount. As used herein, (x) “Payment” shall mean any payment or distribution in the nature
of compensation (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, (y) “Safe Harbor Amount” shall mean 2.99 times
Executive’s “base amount,” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code, and (z) “Parachute Value” of a Payment shall mean the present value as of the date of the Change in Control for purposes of Section 280G
of the Code of the portion of such Payment that constitutes a “parachute payment” under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code 

  
 13 

 
for purposes of determining whether and to what extent the Excise Tax will apply to such Payment. All calculations under this section shall be made reasonably by the Company and the
Company’s outside auditor at the Company’s expense and at the times reasonably requested by Executive.

 Exhibit 10.26 

E.L.F. BEAUTY, INC. 

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION PROGRAM 

Non-employee members of the board of directors (the “Board”) of e.l.f. Beauty, Inc. (the
“Company”) shall be eligible to receive cash and equity compensation as set forth in this Non-Employee Director Compensation Program (this “Program”). The cash and equity compensation described in
this Program shall be paid or be made, as applicable, automatically and without further action of the Board, to each member of the Board who is not (i) an employee of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company, (ii) a partner, member,
director, officer or employee of TPG Growth II Management, LLC (or any other entity which, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, is controlled by or under common control with such entity, whether by contract, equity ownership
or otherwise) or (iii) designated for service on the Board by the Rollover Stockholders (as defined in that certain Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, dated on or about the Effective Date (as defined below), by and among the Company, TPG
elf Holdings, L.P., the Rollover Stockholders and the other parties thereto, as the same may be amended from time to time) (each, a “Non-Employee Director”), unless such Non-Employee Director declines the receipt of such cash
or equity compensation by written notice to the Company. This Program shall remain in effect until it is revised or rescinded by further action of the Board. This Program may be amended, modified or terminated by the Board at any time,
without advance notice, in its sole discretion. The terms and conditions of this Program shall supersede any prior cash and/or equity compensation arrangements for service as a member of the Board between the Company and any of its Non-Employee
Directors. This Program shall become effective on the date of the pricing of the initial public offering of the Company’s common stock (the “Effective Date”). 

1. Cash Compensation.

(a) Annual Retainers. Each Non-Employee Director shall be eligible to receive an annual retainer of $45,000 for service on the
Board.
 (b) Additional Annual Retainers. In addition, a Non-Employee Director shall receive the following annual retainers:

 (i) Audit Committee. A Non-Employee Director serving as Chairperson of the Audit Committee shall receive an additional
annual retainer of $15,000 for such service. A Non-Employee Director serving as a member of the Audit Committee (other than the Chairperson) shall receive an additional annual retainer of $7,500 for such service. 

(ii) Compensation Committee. A Non-Employee Director serving as Chairperson of the Compensation Committee shall receive an
additional annual retainer of $10,000 for such service. A Non-Employee Director serving as a member of the Compensation Committee (other than the Chairperson) shall receive an additional annual retainer of $5,000 for such service. 

(iii) Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. A Non-Employee Director serving as Chairperson of the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee shall receive an additional annual retainer of $6,000 for such service. A Non-Employee Director serving as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (other than the Chairperson) shall receive
an additional annual retainer of $3,000 for such service. 
 (c) Payment of Retainers. Subject to Section 2(a) below, the annual
retainers described in Sections 1(a) and 1(b) shall be earned on a quarterly basis based on a calendar quarter and shall be paid in cash by the Company in arrears not later than the fifteenth
(15th) day following the end of 

 
each calendar quarter. In the event a Non-Employee Director does not serve as a Non-Employee Director, or in the applicable positions described in Section 1(b), for an entire calendar
quarter, the retainer paid to such Non-Employee Director shall be prorated for the portion of such calendar quarter actually served as a Non-Employee Director, or in such position, as applicable. 

2. Equity Compensation. Non-Employee Directors shall be granted the equity awards described below. The awards described below
shall be granted under and shall be subject to the terms and provisions of the Company’s 2016 Equity Incentive Award Plan or any other applicable Company equity incentive plan then-maintained by the Company (the “Equity
Plan”) and shall be evidenced by the execution and delivery of award agreements, including attached exhibits, in substantially the forms previously approved by the Board. All applicable terms of the Equity Plan apply to this
Program as if fully set forth herein, and all grants of Restricted Stock Units (as defined in the Equity Plan) hereby are subject in all respects to the terms of the Equity Plan.

(a) Election to Receive Restricted Stock Units in Lieu of Cash Retainers. Each Non-Employee Director may elect to receive all, but not
less than all, of his or her annual retainer payable under Section 1 in an award of Restricted Stock Units, in lieu of cash (a “Retainer Award Election”), with the first such Retainer Award Election to apply to the first
annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders that occurs after the Effective Date. On or before December 31 of each calendar year, each Non-Employee Director who desires to make a Retainer Award Election shall make his or her Retainer
Award Election with respect to the cash compensation otherwise payable to such Non-Employee Director under Section 1 in the twelve-month period immediately following the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders that occurs in the calendar
year after such Retainer Award Election is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Non-Employee Director is first elected or appointed to the Board on or after January 1 of a calendar year and before the date of the annual meeting of the
Company’s stockholders for such calendar year, then such Non-Employee Director shall have until the earlier of (i) the date of the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders for such calendar year or (ii) the thirtieth (30th) day after such election or appointment, to make the Non-Employee Director’s Retainer Award Election to apply to the twelve-month period immediately following such annual meeting of the
Company’s stockholders. In each case, the Retainer Award Election shall be made pursuant to an election form provided by the Company and in compliance with the rules and policies as may be established by the Board from time to time. Each
such Retainer Award Election shall be irrevocable. 
 (b) Initial Awards. Each Non-Employee Director who is initially elected or
appointed to the Board after the Effective Date and on a date other than the date of an annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders shall automatically be granted, on the date of such initial election or appointment, that number of Restricted
Stock Units calculated by dividing (i) the product of (A) $140,000 multiplied times (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days remaining until either (1) the first anniversary of the annual meeting of the Company’s
stockholders that immediately preceded such Non-Employee Director’s election or appointment or (2) in the event such election or appointment occurs prior to the first annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders that occurs after the
Effective Date, the projected date of such first annual meeting and the denominator of which is 365, by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of the Company’s common stock as of the date of appointment or election and rounding down to the
nearest whole number. The awards described in this Section 2(b) shall be referred to as “Initial Awards.” No Non-Employee Director shall be granted more than one Initial Award.

(c) Subsequent Awards. A Non-Employee Director who will continue to serve as a Non-Employee Director immediately following any
annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, shall be automatically granted, on the date of such annual meeting, that number of Restricted Stock Units calculated by dividing (i) the sum of (A) any compensation covered by a timely Retainer
Award Election plus (B) $140,000 by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of the Company’s common stock as of the date of such annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders and rounding down to the nearest whole number. The awards
described in this Section 2(c) shall be referred to as “Subsequent Awards.” 

  
 2 

 (d) Terms of Awards Granted to Non-Employee Directors 

(i) Vesting. Each Initial Award shall vest in full upon the earlier of (A) the date of the first annual meeting of the
Company’s stockholders occurring after such Initial Award is granted or (B) the first anniversary of the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders immediately preceding the date the Initial Award is granted, subject to the Non-Employee
Director continuing to provide services to the Company through the applicable vesting date. Each Subsequent Award shall vest in full on the earlier of (A) the first anniversary of the date of grant or (B) immediately prior to the next annual
meeting of the Company’s stockholders after the date of grant, subject to the Non-Employee Director continuing to provide services to the Company through the applicable vesting date.

(ii) Change in Control Acceleration. All of a Non-Employee Director’s Initial Awards and Subsequent Awards, and any stock
options or other equity-based awards outstanding and held by the Non-Employee Director, shall vest and, if applicable, become exercisable with respect to one hundred percent (100%) of the shares subject thereto immediately prior to the occurrence of
a Change in Control (as defined in the Equity Plan), to the extent outstanding at such time. 
 3. Reimbursements. The Company
shall reimburse each Non-Employee Director for all reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket travel and other business expenses incurred by such Non-Employee Director in the performance of his or her duties to the Company in accordance with the
Company’s applicable expense reimbursement policies and procedures as in effect from time to time.
