As a young girl, Gabriela Hernandez would watch in complete wonder while her 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. Gabriela’s fascination for cosmetics grew into a passion followed by expertise. She became a historian of makeup through the decades, publishing the book, Classic Beauty: The History of Makeup, and then founding Bésame Cosmetics. Embracing proven beauty tools, trends, and techniques of eras past, Gabriela has created a carefully curated line of cosmetic essentials – inspired by style icons both famous and familial. Just like watching her grandmother apply makeup decades ago, Bésame offers authentic connection across generations, so you can build looks that transcend time. Bésame Cosmetics has always focused on creating long-wearing, deluxe formulas that function for both beauty and skincare – even for those with sensitive skin. Our beauty essentials are always free from harsh chemicals, parabens, mineral oils and gluten, and we have always been 100% cruelty-free.
