In this guest series episode of "What Beauty Founders Don't Know" Podcast, I spoke to the classy, creative & intellectual founder of BÉSAME COSMETICS, a classic & timeless beauty for the modern times, Gabriela Hernandez.
Gabriela is the cosmetic connoisseur behind the brand.
As a young girl, Gabriela would watch in complete wonder while her beloved grandmother applied makeup as part of her daily beauty ritual. From the swipe of a bold lip color to the dusting of rouge on a cheek, Gabriela loved how this small moment connected art to beauty, and grandmother to granddaughter.
After immigrating to the United States, She became a historian of makeup through the decades, studying photography and art direction before publishing the book, Classic Beauty: The History of Makeup, and then founding Bésame Cosmetics.
Embracing proven beauty tools, trends, and techniques of eras past, Bésame offers authentic connection across generations, so you can build looks that transcend time.
