In this Iris & Romeo review, read all about a skincare-meets-makeup brand that in every way tries to simplify beauty and simplify the modern woman’s life. Iris&Romeo created the original skincare/makeup hybrids to help you consume less and get ready faster—so you have more time to live as you mean it.
The Beginning of Iris & Romeo
Michele Gough Baril found a greener and calmer pasture in a slow-paced life with a former racehorse named Romeo, who was as burnt out as she was. She left behind the ever-evolving and fast-moving world of the beauty industry to denounce its outdated practices and stereotypes aimed at women in their “power years,” as she called it in one interview.
In addition to that, she also worked 80 hours a week, giving her all as an executive for a brand that gained its footing in the digital world because of her. It became too much; it made her yearn for healing and growth in a lighter environment. She found solace in a friend’s old dairy farm and started to regain her center with Romeo by her side. A recalibration happened, and with her fully-realized self, a new vision manifested clear as day in her mind.
She was not done with the beauty industry at all, only with its outdated values. So, she set out to create a new standard, a narrative that puts women first. That is how Iris & Romeo went from an idea to a movement built with a multifunctional hybrid range of makeup and skincare.
What Iris & Romeo Created
Self-care is at the core of their product philosophy; making things easy yet effective is how their hybrid range came to be. Because what is self-care if it is not giving you the simplest form of the things you need and want the most? As Iris & Romeo says, life is overwhelming enough. Their line brings comfort and confidence in skincare that takes care of you and makeup that extenuates your beauty.
Simple, easy, and energizes your skin to show off your natural radiance! What’s not to love?
The brand hammers home the importance of giving their customers all that they desire in beauty care in just a few products, and they sure know how to deliver with quality. Safe and sustainable comes in compact packages for you and mother nature; Iris & Romeo curated plant-based ingredients into a formula that says what it does and even goes above and beyond.
No broken promises here; it is pure passion crafted into each product.
They have made products that help you breathe easy and reassure you about things you can do as a woman. And to add to the already long list of why this brand is at a steady rise, they have also banned 1400 ingredients based on ingredients banned by EU safety standards. It feels like a loving team banding together to give you the best of what you deserve, and you see it in the things they release and the thought behind each.
