Continuing our focus on female founders for International Women’s Month, here’s news of an Italian brand that has landed on these shores – and which is bringing a flush to our cheeks.

Just over five years old, Espressoh was founded by Chiara Cascella (above), who’d previously been working globally for high-end beauty brands. Bringing those insights to her own brand, she launched with the goal of offering ‘the accessible, authentic Italian-made beauty products that the industry was missing.’ (Actually, much of the make-up that you buy in the UK is sourced from Italy’s factories, which bring almost artisan skills to the creation of beauty products.)

We met Chiara when she landed in London to launch this line-up of blushers – but we’ve a feeling, with her understated chic, simple approach to make-up and really rather lovely products, we’re going to be hearing much more about Chiara and Espressoh.

As you can see from the photos above and below, the blushers work on any skintone (shades are listed below). The shades are as follows…

6AM — Golden Pink (actually our favourite)

7AM — Bright Peach

6PM — Spritzy Coral

7PM — Dusty Brick

Velvety in texture, they simply melt into skin, nourishing with ingredients like castor seed oil and candelilla wax. For less dewiness, set with powder – works a treat.

Quite simply, bellissima!
