Leaping into U Beauty
Gilding the Lily | A Ritual for Radiance
Before the palette, there is the canvas. And it glows.
Skin is story. And my story begins here—not with a blush or a lip gloss, but with foundation. Not the kind poured from a bottle, but the kind that holds.
That lifts. That builds. Structure. Core. Dew before dazzle.
There is no sparkle without architecture.
There is no form without function.
Rome was built from the ground up.
Curated of science and artistry, U Beauty is the spell that I incant—and decant—daily. It’s the ritual that anchors my skincare.
And has for years—I worked at Neimans as a stylist when the line launched, and I tried it early in its inception and was immediately hooked. Science-forward, luxury-backed, and glow-approved, I’ve tried nearly every formula, and these are the ones that stuck—the ones I’ve kept in my rotation, that I pack in suitcases and pull out on lazy summer Sundays.
No frogs. No filters. Just real results.
These are my glow go-tos:
The SUPER Hydrator
Soft and light, she spreads like butter, saturating skin with five molecular weights of hyaluronic acid—proving, once and for all, that size really does matter.
She is the perfect primer, delivering a dewy linger-all-day veil that plays beautifully under makeup.
And her scent is intoxicating—a ritual in herself to apply. Fresh-washed-linen in the breeze. A symphony for your nose and your skin.
The RETURN Eye Concentrate
Eyes are my Holy Roman Empire, and a good eye cream is as rare as diplomacy. But Jupiter himself would bow to this one.
U Beauty calls it “a complete contouring treatment.” I call it a miracle.
Puffiness, fine lines, dark circles—banished from the Empire.
It’s the cream that makes you look like you’ve slept a full eight when, in truth, you only caught a cat nap. Meow.
The SUPER Intensive Face Oil
Ordained by the gods of glaze, and possibly the standout in the entire spell (and I don’t say that lightly). The oil is the glow-locker. In summer, she’s a vampire—resurfacing only after dark. But as the air crisps, she returns to her morning throne, radiant, unapologetic, and divine.
Resurfacing Compound
She’s my tried-and-true. I alternate her with Dr. Diamond’s Metacine, because my skin—like me—craves variety.
A hero treatment, she smooths, evens, and slips seamlessly under makeup. She puts the G in glow, and who doesn’t covet that?
Resurfacing Body Compound
If you love her once, love her twice. This serum sister brings the same magic— she just hits low, below the chin.
Slathered on first thing in the morning, she tightens, brightens, and sets the stage for a full-body glow.
U Beauty isn’t just skincare. She’s a spell.
Invoke her.
