Luxury. Design. Art. Sustainability. All in one compact.

11.03.21

Bésame Cosmetics was created by artist, cosmetic historian, and designer Gabriela Hernandez after a life-long love affair with vintage beauty. At 12, Gabriela immigrated to the U.S. from Buenos Aires, always fascinated by her grandmother’s sophisticated beauty routine.

With her creative background, historical know-how, and cherished memories of her grandmother’s makeup, Gabriela finally developed the beauty brand of her dreams, filled with rich, historical details in wearable long-lasting formulas. She wanted Bésame to bring romance back into the makeup industry, allowing women to feel excited and passionate about their own beauty rituals again.

Her latest collections that are all sustainably made in California include:

Inspired by the Victorian trend to make beautiful jewelry of insects and spiders, Bésame Cosmetics created a one-of-a-kind compact. 

The Victorian Spider Compact features a gorgeous gothic spider web design on enamel. This silver-plated compact is yours to own and treasure for years to come. 

The compact includes the Moon and Stars highlight powders. A split pan of sparkling highlights, you get two powders in one! One is a twinkle of lights that lightly adds sparkles to the face, the other a golden light sheen.

Center magnets hold the pressed powder pan in place. When it’s time to switch powders, the custom cutouts are designed to make removal and replacement a snap. The size is perfect for any current or future Bésame powder refills.

Each compact arrives in an octagon-shaped spider-adorned box lined with faux red velvet and a red powder puff. The puff works perfectly with the powder of your choice, or use a brush for a more precise face application.

For their contribution to Disney's Ultimate Princess Celebration, Besame Cosmetics created Limited Edition Refillable Compacts for all your favorite characters in a series of 12 pieces celebrating our most beloved heroines.

Each $125 set includes a refillable metal enameled compact and matching lipstick featuring new images of these enchanting characters. Only 500 units of each set have been made and will be limited to one per customer. 

On November 2nd at 6 p.m. PST, Bésame Presents the Tiana Disney Princess Signature Compact.
 
This compact features a Bayeux art deco design and a beautiful enamel image of Tiana. More than a simple portrait, the design is based on Tiana’s dream sequence from the film. The artwork encompasses the 1920s setting and shows Tiana in her most glamorous, powerful look.

Open the compact to find “Tiana” engraved by the mirror and a white gold highlight powder to enjoy. Made from a completely unique mold, this The Princess and the Frog collector’s item cannot be found anywhere else.
