Bésame Cosmetics is a luxury brand that throwbacks the vintage glamour we are missing today. The historically inspired brand sells lipsticks, mascaras, and now skincare. The owner, Gabriela Hernandez, a Buenos Aires native, a designer, and cosmetics historian started Bésame Cosmetics in 2004.
Gabriela always had an artistic side and an affinity for color. When she created Bésame Cosmetics, she wanted products that represented a time when a woman had beautiful romantic products on her vanity that she could enjoy and use.

Even though 10-step routines and complicated products have become the trend over the last few years, these four innovative creams bring us back to a simple skincare routine.

Each cream also comes with a custom self-massage application for each product, turning your skincare routine into a self-care routine.
