Story of Sholayide

A young beauty aficionada stood in her bedroom trying to understand why natural cosmetics were so…basic. Where were the brands that celebrated and cultivated individualism? Where was the glamour?

In the shadow of Paul Colin’s Le Bal Negre poster of Josephine Baker—the rogue icon flashing her seductive smile—Sholayide began to dream up a world of Sirens and Socialites, Femme Fatales and Free Spirits who eschewed “beauty standards”, seeking not only to go against the grain, but transcend it. Women like her.

Rogues.

Their eyes dark and stormy. Their lips stark raving red. Their skin incandescent. Their product arsenal completely natural.


Sholayide would create the beauty brand of their dreams.


She mirror-mirrored on the wall, experimenting with colors, creams, and concepts. She moonlighted for the most prestigious French brands. She researched Ayurvedic skin care rituals, apothecary treatments, and homemade recipes, and created her own blends. She crisscrossed beauty tradeshow carpets, meeting manufacturers who could deliver extravagant tints and lavish skincare using lush, natural ingredients.


When her experience and effort came together in a collection of provocative pigments and decadent emulsions, Sholayide knew the face of natural beauty would never be the same. More importantly, with Joséphine, it would never again be basic.
