THE BEST IN BEAUTY
FROM THOSE WHO KNOW BEST

VIOLET GREY began with our search for the best eyelash curler. To find the answer, we formed a band of inside-Hollywood experts and editors — from makeup artists to movie stars — to test every eyelash curler against our rigorous set of standards (the VIOLET CODE). We tested on film sets, on red carpets, and in the back of Jack Nicholson’s limousine — and once we learned which curler would make our lashes curve and not crimp (Utowa, it’s from Japan), we moved on to mascara, lip stain, dry shampoo, and everything else a girl needs in her cosmetic wardrobe. On any given day, we are discovering, testing, and approving best-in-class beauty. The result is a discerning curation of products, tips, and inspiration deemed essential — the Industry’s Beauty Edit.

When you get close friends within the confines of an intimate environment such as, say, bed, beauty secrets are bound to be spilled. Some of these tips are practical—i.e., using rosehip oil for its superb moisturising abilities. Others, like wrapping your pregnant body with Saran wWrap in an attempt to stave off stretch marks, not so much. But we are here for all of it.

In VIOLET GREY’s first episode of Beauty in Bed, our founder Cassandra Grey gets up close and personal with fellow entrepreneur Hope Smith, founder of the divine new clean body-care line Mutha. Breakfast, banter, and beauty tips are served. And we promise: You won’t have to endure plastic wrap to defeat stretch marks. Watch and learn.
