Awake Cosmetics

Gabriela Hernandez, founder of Besame Cosmetics. Has brought artistry and romance back to the cosmetics industry. She has created a line infused with a romantic sensibility that is rich in historical details. Her inspiration for it all was sparked by a mixture of her background in art and design, a love for feminine detail, and fond memories of her glamorous grandmother. Immigrating to the US from Buenos Aires, Argentina at the age of 12, she taught herself English and attended school in New York.
